LCMX06T204-B57 WKP35S drilling/reaming indexable insert by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Silver, B57 chipbreaker

The LCMX06T204-B57 WKP35S is a rectangular indexable insert designed for drilling and reaming applications in steel and cast iron, combining a coated carbide grade and a geometry optimised for stable chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide for long life
• Optimised B57 chipbreaker for P and K materials
• Rectangle form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° relief angle for secure cutting action

Higher throughput and longer service life with Tiger·tec Silver

The Tiger·tec Silver coating, combined with the WKP35S coated-carbide grade, is engineered to reduce wear under the thermal and mechanical loads typical in steel and cast-iron machining. This results in extended tool life and fewer index changes during production runs, which raises overall throughput. Coated carbide means a hard, wear-resistant surface over a tough substrate; the coating reduces adhesion and abrasive wear while the substrate absorbs shock, delivering a practical balance for industrial environments.

Controlled chip formation for predictable machining

The B57 chipbreaker is tailored to the chip characteristics of ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron). By breaking chips into short, manageable segments, the geometry lowers the risk of chip entanglement and improves evacuation from the hole, which supports stable cutting forces and consistent hole quality. For operations where repeatability matters, this chip control delivers tangible process reliability and reduces secondary operations like chip cleaning.

Geometry optimised for precision holes and secure indexation

The insert’s rectangle form, 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° relief angle combine to give a balanced mix of cutting strength and entry behaviour. The small corner radius supports accurate hole starts and contributes to a consistent surface finish, while the relief angle reduces rubbing and heat generation. The designation indicates a standard industrial format that fits common indexable toolholders, enabling straightforward integration into existing tool systems without extensive adaptation.

Built for industrial workflows and application clarity

Tolerance class M, size 06 and thickness T2 mean the component adheres to predictable dimensional standards for stability in automated tooling systems. The insert is explicitly specified for steel and cast iron applications under the ISO classification P and K, so process planners can align cutting parameters and tool-change intervals with expected material behaviour. For tailored advice on machining parameters or to verify suitability for a specific component geometry, the Metav Werkzeuge team can provide application-oriented guidance and documentation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The LCMX06T204-B57 WKP35S is specified for machining steel (ISO P) and cast iron (ISO K); these material groups are the primary intended applications for the WKP35S grade.

Is the insert coated and what are the benefits?
Yes, the WKP35S grade belongs to the Tiger·tec Silver coating technology; this provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability, improving tool life under typical drilling and reaming loads.

What does the B57 chipbreaker achieve in practice?
The B57 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips in P and K materials, aiding chip evacuation and contributing to stable cutting forces and consistent hole quality.

How does the insert geometry affect hole accuracy?
Features such as the 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° relief angle balance cutting edge strength with entry behaviour, helping to produce precise hole starts and reliable surface finish without excessive rubbing.

Can the insert be used for stainless steel?
A suitability specification for stainless steel (rostfreier Stahl) is not provided for this grade; therefore, machining stainless steel with this insert is not documented in the supplied data.
