• For steel and cast iron machining
• 15° relief angle, 0.8 mm corner radius
• Rectangular 17 mm insert with A57 chipbreaker

Maximise material removal with a coated grade optimised for steels and cast iron

The Tiger‑tec Gold WKP35G grade is a coated carbide formulation developed for stable performance when cutting both steel (P) and cast iron (K). The multilayer coating reduces wear from abrasive cast materials and moderates heat buildup when machining steels, resulting in longer edge life and fewer insert changes. The integrated A57 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation, which improves surface quality and reduces the risk of built-up edge during interrupted cuts. This combination supports higher feed rates and consistent cycle times across batch and single‑piece production.

Precision geometry for consistent surface finish and process security

A relief angle of 15° combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and finishing capability: the edge resists chipping under moderate depths of cut while still producing a controlled surface texture. The insert’s rectangular shape and size designation (17) enable stable clamping in compatible cutter bodies, and the tolerance class M ensures repeatable seating and concentricity in multi‑insert tools. For production planners, these characteristics translate into predictable tool life, reduced rework and higher first‑pass yield.

Practical integration: handling, inventory and selection guidance

The LDMW designation and chipbreaker code simplify stock keeping and cutter selection: the plate thickness code (04) and execution W identify the mounting profile and seat requirements for compatible milling heads. Because the grade is optimised for a broad range of steels and cast irons, one insert family can cover diverse workpieces, reducing the need for multiple specialised items. For shops shifting between finishing and medium roughing, this insert offers a pragmatic compromise: adequate edge robustness for moderate cuts and the geometry to sustain acceptable surface quality, lowering tooling complexity on the shop floor.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The LDMW170408R-A57 WKP35G insert is designed for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K), utilising the Tiger‑tec Gold coating to manage heat and abrasive wear.

What does the A57 chipbreaker do?
The A57 chipbreaker on the insert controls chip shape and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of chip entanglement in both finishing and medium cutting operations.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect cutting?
A 0.8 mm corner radius provides improved edge strength for interrupted cuts and contributes to a consistent surface texture, offering a compromise between durability and finish quality.

Is this insert compatible with standard cutter bodies?
The LDMW designation and size 17 indicate compatibility with cutter systems that accept rectangular inserts of this form and thickness; always check the cutter body’s seat and clamping specifications against the insert’s code.
