LNMU160812-F57T WKP35G milling insert — Walter Tools, Tiger‑tec Gold, for steel & cast iron

The LNMU160812-F57T WKP35G is a rectangular milling insert engineered for high‑productivity peripheral and face milling in steel and cast iron, offering a coated‑carbide grade and a chipbreaker designed for consistent machining.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade WKP35G
• Optimised for steel and cast iron machining
• Rectangular insert 16 mm with 1.2 mm corner radius
• 0° negative rake with F57T chipbreaker for stable chips

Consistent chip control increases process reliability

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating with the WKP35G substrate and the dedicated F57T chipbreaker delivers stable chip control across mixed machining conditions. The coating technology is designed to reduce adhesive and abrasive wear on the cutting edge, which in turn prolongs effective cutting life and reduces unplanned tool changes. For operations in the ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), this insert ensures predictable chip form and evacuation, lowering the risk of rework and improving cycle‑time consistency.

Robust geometry for repeatable component quality

A rectangular insert with a nominal size of 16 mm and a 1.2 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and achievable surface finish. The 0° negative rake geometry increases edge robustness for interrupted cuts and heavy engagement, while the tolerance class M supports reproducible clamping and positional accuracy in toolholders. Together these design choices reduce dimensional scatter on machined features and help maintain target tolerances over longer tool life, contributing directly to process stability and cost efficiency.

Productive cutting strategy with broad material coverage

Built on the Tiger‑tec Gold series, the insert is specified for machining steel and cast iron in typical workshop and production environments. The designation follows ISO material groupings (ISO 513: P and K) so that cutting data selection is straightforward when matching feeds and speeds to workpiece material. The LNMU160812‑F57T WKP35G insert supports higher cutting speeds and a reliable cutting edge for volume production, making it suitable where throughput and consistent surface quality matter. If application parameters require fine‑tuning, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical team can provide recommended cutting data and holder compatibility to ensure optimal performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The LNMU160812‑F57T WKP35G milling insert is formulated for steel (ISO group P) and cast iron (ISO group K), reflecting the recommended application areas of the Tiger‑tec Gold WKP35G grade.

Which chip form can be expected with the F57T chipbreaker?
The F57T chipbreaker produces short, controlled chips in typical steel and cast‑iron conditions, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of chip entanglement during end and face milling operations.

How does the 0° negative rake influence performance?
A 0° negative rake increases edge strength and resistance to chipping during interrupted cuts and heavy engagements, which supports stable tool life and consistent component quality in roughing and semi‑finishing passes.

Is the insert suitable for high‑speed applications?
Yes; the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WKP35G substrate are engineered for productive machining and can support elevated cutting speeds when combined with appropriate feeds and coolant strategies.

What size and geometry should the holder provide for correct clamping?
A toolholder accepting a rectangular insert of 16 mm with the listed thickness code and tolerance class M ensures secure clamping and positional repeatability; consult holder specifications to verify compatibility with negative‑rake rectangular inserts.
