LPMT150612R-D51 WKP35S rectangular milling insert — 11° clearance, 1.2 mm corner radius, Walter Tools

LPMT150612R-D51 WKP35S is a rectangular milling insert designed for efficient machining of steel and cast iron in general milling operations

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for extended edge life
• WKP35S grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• Rectangular form with 11° clearance for stability
• D51 chipbreaker for consistent chip control

Consistent edge life through Tiger·tec Silver technology

The insert is manufactured in the Tiger·tec Silver series and uses the WKP35S cutting grade, a coated carbide designed specifically for machining steel and cast iron. This coating reduces abrasive and thermal wear, so the tool retains cutting capability for longer intervals, which in turn reduces tool change frequency and production interruptions. The result is predictable tool behaviour under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of cutting alloyed and unalloyed steels, supporting higher productive output with fewer unexpected stoppages.

Stable cutting geometry for improved surface finish

A defining advantage of this rectangular geometry is the combination of an 11° clearance angle and a 1.2 mm corner radius, which together deliver mechanical stability and improved load distribution at the cutting edge. The integrated D51 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips when machining a range of steels and cast irons, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving surface quality. These geometric features make the insert suitable for operations where surface integrity and dimensional consistency are important, such as semi-finishing passes and general milling tasks.

Ready for series production with industrial tolerances

Produced to tolerance class M, this grade provides consistent dimensions and repeatable performance in batch production. The plate size (15) and thickness specification enable secure clamping and repeatable seating in standard toolholders. The combination of a robust grade and the Tiger·tec Silver coating reduces total tooling costs in medium- to high-volume workflows by extending effective tool life and lowering scrap risk. Where predictable machining and minimal rework are priorities, the insert delivers measurable efficiency gains.

Application guidance and process fit

This insert is optimised for ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), reflecting its intended use for the typical heat and chip-formation characteristics of these classes. Depending on component geometry and required material removal rates, the insert can be applied in roughing and semi-finishing operations; cutting parameters should be selected according to machine power and workpiece specifications. For tailored recommendations on feeds, speeds and holder selection, Metav Werkzeuge can provide process support and advice to ensure the highest productivity with the Walter Tools grade.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steel?
Stainless steel is not listed among the specified material groups for the LPMT150612R-D51 WKP35S; the grade is optimised for ISO group P (steel) and K (cast iron) applications.

What does the WKP35S designation indicate?
WKP35S denotes a coated carbide cutting grade in the Tiger·tec Silver family that is engineered for a balance of wear resistance and toughness when machining steel and cast iron.

How does the D51 chipbreaker affect machining?
The D51 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips and improves chip evacuation when machining steels and cast irons, helping to reduce built-up edge and stabilise surface finish.

What are the critical geometry values to consider for tool setup?
Key values are a 1.2 mm corner radius and an 11° clearance angle; these influence load distribution, edge strength and contact geometry in the cutter arrangement.

Is the insert intended for roughing or finishing operations?
The LPMT150612R-D51 WKP35S is suitable for general milling tasks including semi-finishing and productive roughing, with process parameters adjusted to the workpiece and machine capability.
