LDMT14T308R-F57 WKP35G — Indexable milling insert, Tiger‑tec Gold, Walter Tools

The LDMT14T308R‑F57 WKP35G is an indexable milling insert engineered for general milling of steel and cast iron, offering high wear resistance and reliable chip formation in continuous production environments

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for high wear resistance
• Optimised F57 chipformer for stable chip control
• Rectangular form, 15° clearance, 0.8 mm corner radius
• Suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K)

Longer tool life through advanced coating technology

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold series and the WKP35G grade delivers a coated carbide substrate designed for high thermal and abrasive loads. This engineered coating reduces flank wear and helps maintain cutting-edge integrity over extended production runs. For manufacturers seeking a measurable reduction in tool changes, the hardened coating translates into lower downtime and fewer tool inventories to manage, while preserving component tolerances and repeatability.

Stable chip control that improves surface quality

The integrated F57 chipformer is tailored to produce consistent, controllable chips when machining both steel (P) and cast iron (K) per ISO 513 groupings. Controlled chip formation reduces recutting, improves coolant access and contributes directly to improved surface finishes and tool life. In practice this yields fewer scrap parts and a steadier cycle time, which supports predictable machining schedules and higher first-pass yields.

Robust geometry for secure cutting performance

A 15° clearance combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius and rectangular form gives the insert mechanical strength where it matters most: at the cutting edge and contact zones. The geometry, together with tolerance class M and a T3 thickness, balances edge stability and versatility across a range of cutters. This results in reliable performance for medium-duty milling operations where both edge life and dimensional stability are priorities.

Fit-for-purpose specification and production advantages

Specified as an indexable milling insert, this grade and form factor integrate seamlessly with standard toolholders and tool systems used in jobbing and production shops. The insert’s focus on process reliability and stable edge life helps reduce the need for frequent requalification of tool offsets and shortens setup times. If application-specific data or cutting parameters are required, Metav Werkzeuge can advise on optimal cutting speeds and feeds to match machine capability and workpiece material.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The LDMT14T308R‑F57 WKP35G insert is designed primarily for steel (P) and cast iron (K) applications according to ISO 513 groupings.

How does the Tiger‑tec Gold coating affect performance?
The Tiger‑tec Gold coating on the WKP35G grade improves wear resistance and thermal stability, resulting in longer tool life and more consistent cutting performance.

Which chipformer does this insert use and why does it matter?
This insert features the F57 chipformer, optimised for stable chip control to reduce recutting and improve surface finish during milling of steel and cast iron.

Is the geometry suitable for general-purpose milling?
Yes; the combination of 15° clearance, a 0.8 mm corner radius and a rectangular form provides a balance of edge strength and versatility for medium-duty milling operations.

Can this insert be used in standard toolholders?
The insert follows common indexable insert formats and is compatible with corresponding holders specified for its ISO designation and form.
