LCMX06T204-E57 WKP35S — Rectangular indexable insert for boring with Tiger‑tec Silver coating (Walter Tools)

A LCMX06T204-E57 WKP35S rectangular indexable insert designed for precision boring and reboring operations in steel and cast iron, combining a coated carbide grade with a geometry optimised for stable cutting

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended life
• Suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K)
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise finishes

Proven wear resistance for demanding steel and cast‑iron work

The Tiger‑tec Silver coating together with the WKP35S coated‑carbide grade is engineered to resist abrasive wear and maintain a stable cutting edge under the temperatures typical of steel machining. This combination reduces flank wear and supports longer tool life, which translates into fewer insert changes and higher uptime on production lines. The formulation is adapted for the heat and chip characteristics of group P (steel) materials while also offering robustness for group K (cast iron) applications, making the insert a versatile choice for mixed‑material batches.

Geometry that improves surface quality and chip control

A rectangular plate form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and an E57 chipbreaker provides consistent chip formation and helps control intermittent cutting loads during boring. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing at the flank and lowers cutting forces, which benefits both surface finish and dimensional stability. Explaining the chipbreaker: it is a shaped relief on the rake face that segments chips and directs them away from the cutting zone, decreasing the risk of built‑up edge and improving machining predictability for medium to heavy cuts.

Practical integration into machining processes

Designed as a boring/reboring indexable insert, the item fits stable toolholders for serial and job‑shop operations; the plate size 06 and thickness T2 are compatible with common boring systems. The tolerance class M supports repeatable positioning for accurate diameters, while the coated grade helps maintain performance across varied cutting speeds. For production planning, the insert's multi‑material capability reduces inventory complexity and enables smoother process transitions between steel and cast‑iron components.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?
The insert is designed for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K); the WKP35S grade and Tiger‑tec Silver coating provide abrasion resistance suited to these groups.

How does the E57 chipbreaker affect machining?
The E57 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip segmentation and evacuation, reducing built‑up edge and improving process stability for boring operations with the LCMX06T204‑E57 WKP35S insert.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius mean for the finished part?
A 0.4 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and achievable surface quality, helping to produce consistent bore wall finishes while resisting chipping.

Is the insert suitable for high‑volume production?
Yes; the combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and WKP35S grade is developed for reliable, repeatable performance, supporting longer tool life and steady productivity in series production.

Which series and brand manufacture this insert?
