Bohr-/Aufbohrwendeschneidplatte LCMX050203-E57 WKP35S – Tiger·tec Silver, for Steel & Cast Iron (Walter Tools)

The LCMX050203-E57 WKP35S is a rectangular indexable insert engineered for drilling and bore-widening operations, optimised for steel (P) and cast iron (K) applications with consistent wear resistance and chip control.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WKP35S
• Rectangular plate with 0.3 mm corner radius
• E57 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Suited for steel (P) and cast iron (K) machining

Enhanced precision and predictable cutting results

The Tiger·tec Silver coating combined with the WKP35S carbide formulation offers a balanced mix of hardness and toughness that translates into consistent tool life on a variety of steels and cast irons. The coated grade is designed to manage the heat and abrasive wear typical of P and K groups, which reduces flank wear and preserves the effective cutting geometry over longer runs. This predictability supports tighter process windows and fewer tool changes, improving throughput and part quality.

Stable chip control to reduce interruptions

Built around the E57 chipbreaker, this rectangular insert promotes reliable chip formation and evacuation, particularly in interrupted or variable-cut conditions. The geometry reduces the risk of long, entangling chips and lowers the likelihood of machine stoppages. The small 0.3 mm corner radius helps protect the cutting edge during engagement while maintaining acceptable surface finish, making the insert suited to operations where both stability and finish are required.

Application guidance and setup benefits

The insert’s 7° clearance angle ensures gentle entry and steady cutting forces, which is advantageous for drilling and bore-widening tasks in a workshop or production environment. With a tolerance class of M and plate dimensions indicated by size 05 and thickness 02, the indexable plate fits common toolholders for these tasks and delivers repeatable positioning. For best results, match cutting parameters to the workpiece group (P for steel, K for cast iron) and monitor feed and speed to align with the insert’s wear behaviour; when in doubt, consult machining tables or request tailored recommendations to optimise tool life and part accuracy.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K) applications; the WKP35S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating are specifically tuned for these material groups.

What is the purpose of the E57 chipbreaker?
The E57 chipbreaker improves chip control and evacuation during drilling and bore-widening, reducing interruptions and promoting consistent surface quality.

How does the 7° clearance affect cutting?
A 7° clearance reduces friction at the flank and provides gentle entry into the workpiece, which helps maintain edge life and stabilise cutting forces during operation.

Is the insert compatible with standard toolholders?
The plate dimensions (size 05, thickness 02) and tolerance class M align with common holders for drilling and boring applications; verification against the holder specification is recommended.
