LCMX06T204-D57 WSP45G drilling/boring indexable insert – Tiger·tec Gold, versatile P/M/S — Walter Tools

The LCMX06T204-D57 WSP45G is a rectangular drilling and boring insert engineered for robust cutting performance across steel, stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys.

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating for long life
• WSP45G grade for stable chip formation
• 7° relief angle for reliable cutting
• 0.4 mm corner radius for consistent edge

Predictable chip control for uninterrupted production

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WSP45G cutting grade delivers consistent chip formation and extended edge life under continuous machining. Designed for drilling and boring tasks, this insert is optimised for the typical heat and deformation behaviour of the material groups P / M / S, meaning unalloyed and alloyed steels, stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium. The result is fewer interruptions, reduced rework and a measurable improvement in process stability during medium‑to‑demanding operations.

Geometry that supports repeatable cutting performance

A deliberate geometry with a 7° relief angle and 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between cutting edge strength and surface integrity. The rectangular plate form and T2 thickness give reliable clamping and repeatable positioning in compatible tool bodies, while the D57 chipbreaker assists in producing controlled chip shapes. Tolerance class M ensures consistent plate dimensions for predictable tool setting and interchangeability, supporting efficient changeovers and minimised setup time.

Wide material applicability with clear technical benefits

Thanks to the PVD coating technology and the WSP45G substrate characteristics, the insert copes well with the thermal and mechanical loads encountered when machining steels, stainless steels and high‑temperature alloys. This translates into a lower tendency for built‑up edge on stainless grades, improved flank wear resistance on steels and increased cutting reliability on difficult‑to‑machine superalloys. Where surface finish and dimensional repeatability matter, the cutting grade offers an excellent compromise between wear resistance and toughness.

Practical integration and application guidance

The insert is supplied in the LCMX06T204‑D57 form suitable for drilling/boring toolholders that accept rectangular indexable plates. Its robust edge preparation and coating reduce the risk of unexpected tool failures and contribute to predictable production yields.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined with this insert?
The LCMX06T204‑D57 WSP45G insert by Walter Tools is suitable for machining material groups P, M and S — namely steels, stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit drilling and boring operations?
The Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating on the insert improves wear resistance and thermal stability, which enhances edge life and maintains cutting performance during prolonged drilling and boring cycles.

What is the effect of the 0.4 mm corner radius on part quality?
A 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge robustness and reduces edge chipping, supporting consistent hole geometry and improved surface integrity during interrupted or steady cutting.

Is the insert compatible with standard rectangular drilling toolholders?
The LCMX06T204‑D57 plate form matches toolholders designed for rectangular indexable inserts of this designation; confirm compatibility with the specific holder catalogue before assembly.

Which chip behaviour can be expected with the D57 chipbreaker?
The D57 chipbreaker is designed to produce controlled chip shapes for effective evacuation in drilling and boring, helping to prevent re‑cutting and thus improving process reliability.
