LCMX050203-B57 WKP35S — Indexable drilling/boring insert for steel and cast iron, Walter Tools

The LCMX050203-B57 WKP35S is a rectangular indexable insert designed for drilling and boring, optimised for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K)

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade WKP35S
• Optimised for steel and cast iron machining
• Rectangular insert with 0.3 mm corner radius
• Chipbreaker B57 for controlled chip formation

Reliable cutting performance from Tiger‑tec Silver

The Tiger‑tec Silver coating combined with a coated carbide substrate provides a robust balance of wear resistance and thermal stability. This composition reduces flank and crater wear during continuous drilling cycles, which supports longer tool life and fewer index changes. The WKP35S grade is engineered for the typical heat and chip behaviour when machining steel and cast iron, so that cutting forces remain predictable and machine utilisation improves. Explaining the designation: P denotes suitability for steel, K for cast iron, ensuring the grade selection aligns with ISO 513 material groups and production planning.

Predictable chip control and consistent surface finish

Chip management is central to efficient drilling and boring. The B57 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips that help avoid build‑up and reduce risk of tool jamming in deep holes. With a 0.3 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle, the insert geometry supports stable cutting edges and consistent entry/exit behaviour, which in turn improves bore roundness and surface quality. The tolerance class M ensures dimensional consistency between inserts, simplifying replacement and reducing setup variability in series production.

Lower operating costs through higher productivity

Stable cutting edge life and reliable chip control translate into measurable process advantages: fewer tool changes, reduced machine downtime and more predictable batch throughput. The rectangular geometry and the WKP35S composition allow for repeatable performance across a range of cutting conditions, enabling tighter scheduling and a leaner inventory of tool grades. For production environments seeking to increase spindle uptime and reduce per‑part machining cost, the LCMX050203-B57 WKP35S presents a practical option that balances productivity and longevity.

FAQ

Which materials are suitable for this insert?
The insert is specified for steel (P) and cast iron (K) machining; the WKP35S grade and Tiger‑tec Silver coating are matched to those material groups.

How does the B57 chipbreaker influence drilling performance?
The B57 chipbreaker produces short, controlled chips that reduce the risk of entanglement and improve evacuation in drilling and boring operations.

What benefit does the 0.3 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.3 mm corner radius enhances edge strength for interrupted cutting and helps maintain bore geometry while balancing cutting forces.

What does tolerance class M mean for production?
Tolerance class M indicates a medium grade of dimensional accuracy, supporting consistent insert interchangeability and predictable tool offsets in series runs.

Is the WKP35S grade suitable for continuous production?
Yes, WKP35S with the Tiger‑tec Silver coating is designed for stable cutting behaviour and extended tool life, making it well suited to continuous production environments.
