LPGT15T308R-F55 WKP35S milling insert — rectangular 15 mm for steel and cast iron, Walter Tools

LPGT15T308R-F55 WKP35S is a rectangular milling insert designed for productive machining of steel and cast iron, combining a Tiger·tec Silver coating with a dedicated chipbreaker geometry.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• WKP35S grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• F55 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rectangular 15 mm insert with 0.8 mm radius

Higher productivity through advanced coating and grade selection

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP35S coated carbide grade delivers measurable gains in productivity and component throughput. The coating reduces adhesive and abrasive wear on the cutting edge, which extends tool life and lowers the cost per component. For production environments where consistent cutting performance is required, this coating-grade pairing supports longer uninterrupted tool cycles and predictable reconditioning intervals, helping to plan machining runs with greater confidence.

Reliable chip control and machining stability

Equipped with an F55 chipbreaker, the insert promotes controlled chip formation across the ISO groups for steel (P) and cast iron (K). The chipbreaker geometry reduces the risk of long, stringy chips and helps evacuate broken chips from the cut, which improves surface finish and protects the toolholder and spindle from unexpected loads. In short-cycle and serial production, consistent chip management contributes to process stability and repeatable part quality.

Geometry tailored for strength and accuracy

The insert’s rectangular form and 15 mm nominal size, together with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 11° clearance, balance edge strength and cutting precision. The thicker body (designation T3) increases mechanical support at the cutting edge, reducing the likelihood of edge chipping during interrupted cuts or when encountering harder inclusions in cast materials. These geometric choices result in robust behaviour during roughing passes while still allowing acceptable finishing results where required.

Application guidance and process integration

This insert is specified for machining steel and cast iron according to ISO group assignments and is best used in applications that require stable stock removal and controlled chip flow. The combination of WKP35S and Tiger·tec Silver is especially suitable for mixed batch production where reliability across different steels and grey or nodular cast irons is essential.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? This milling insert is designed for machining steel (ISO P) and cast iron (ISO K) and is supplied in the WKP35S grade with Tiger·tec Silver coating to handle those groups reliably.

How does the F55 chipbreaker improve machining? The F55 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which enhances surface finish and reduces the risk of chip entanglement during machining with the Walter Tools insert.

What benefits does the Tiger·tec Silver coating offer? The Tiger·tec Silver coating improves wear resistance and thermal stability, resulting in longer cutting edge life and more consistent performance across batch runs.

Is this insert suitable for finishing and roughing operations? The insert’s geometry, including the 0.8 mm corner radius and T3 thickness, provides robustness for roughing while still allowing acceptable finishing under appropriate cutting conditions.

Can the insert be used on stainless steel? The data specifies suitability for steel and cast iron; no explicit recommendation for stainless steel is provided for this grade and geometry.
