LCMX06T204-E57 WKP25S — Indexable drilling/reaming insert (rectangular), Walter Tools

LCMX06T204-E57 WKP25S is a rectangular indexable insert designed for drilling and reaming applications in steel and cast iron, optimised for stable chip formation and extended tool life

• Rectangular indexable insert, size 06
• Tiger-tec Silver coating for wear resistance
• Grade WKP25S for steel and cast iron
• 7° clearance angle, 0.4 mm corner radius

Predictable tool life through coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger-tec Silver coating and the WKP25S cutting grade delivers higher wear resistance and consistent performance when machining steels and cast irons. The advanced coating reduces abrasive wear and thermal impact during cutting, which results in fewer indexings and less unplanned downtime. The integrated chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation, improving evacuation and reducing machining disturbances. These characteristics translate directly into more stable cycle times and improved productivity on serial drilling and boring operations.

Geometry that stabilises hole quality

A rectangular insert form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle provides a secure cutting edge for repeatable holes and reliable bore finishes. The defined corner radius helps to distribute cutting forces and reduces the risk of edge chipping, while the clearance angle lowers friction at the contact zone. For operations where dimensional consistency and surface quality matter, this engineered geometry supports consistent hole roundness and repeatable diameter control across batch production.

Easy specification and material compatibility

The indexable insert is specified for the ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), matching the typical demands of these materials in terms of heat generation and abrasive wear. The E57 chipbreaker promotes short, manageable chips in interrupted or continuous drilling, aiding chip evacuation in deep-hole work. With a tolerance class M, the insert fits standard toolholders with predictable seating and repeatability, simplifying tool change routines and inventory management in production environments.

Practical gains for production teams

Production engineers and toolroom teams will appreciate the clear performance advantages: longer service life, fewer tool changes and improved process security. The insert’s dimensions (size 06, thickness T2) and proven coating technology suit both stable serial machining and flexible jobbing. For application-specific recommendations—cutting speeds, feeds and holder selection—Metav Werkzeuge’s consultants provide tailored advice to align the insert’s capabilities with the machining task at hand.
