LCMX06T204-B57 WKP25S — Drill/Boring indexable insert, Tiger‑tec Silver for steel and cast iron | Walter Tools

The LCMX06T204-B57 WKP25S is a rectangular indexable insert engineered for drilling and bore-opening operations, offering a combination of coating technology and geometry optimised for P and K material groups.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating technology
• Suitable for steel and cast iron machining
• Rectangular insert, corner radius 0.4 mm
• Chipbreaker B57 for stable chip control

Higher throughput thanks to a modern coated grade

The combination of Tiger‑tec Silver and WKP25S carbide provides improved wear resistance and thermal stability, which translates into higher productivity for serial drilling and boring tasks. The coating reduces abrasion and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge under the cyclic heat loads typical of steel and cast iron operations. For process planners, this means fewer tool changes and a more predictable production rhythm, with measurable gains in machine uptime and component consistency.

Stable chips and better surface finish for uninterrupted production

The dedicated B57 chipbreaker, paired with a corner radius 0.4 mm and 7° clearance, controls chip formation during holemaking to avoid long, stringy swarf and minimise rework. Improved chip control reduces the risk of recutting and supports a consistently good surface quality in bore walls. This geometry is especially beneficial where chip evacuation is critical to cycle time and where surface integrity directly affects downstream assembly or heat-treatment steps.

Predictable clamping and dimensional stability in machining centres

The rectangular plate form in size 06 with T2 thickness and tolerance class M provides repeatable seating and stable clamping in modular toolholders. The defined tolerance and thickness support interchangeability across holders designed for this ISO designation, resulting in fewer setup deviations and consistent hole dimensions. This mechanical predictability is key to maintaining process capability in high-volume runs and simplifies tool inventory management.

Seamless integration into production workflows

Designed for holemaking in steel and cast iron, this indexable insert fits common drilling/boring tool systems and is suitable for automated machining environments. The combination of grade and geometry allows operators to balance cutting data for longer tool life or faster cycle times depending on the priority of the operation. For maintenance and process teams, the clear specification reduces trial-and-error and speeds up qualification of cutting parameters for specific batches or material lots.
