• 11° relief angle, 0.5 mm corner radius
• A57 chipformer for stable chip control

Boosted performance for steel and cast iron applications

The WKP35S grade, part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, is a coated carbide solution engineered for the thermal and abrasive conditions typical when machining steel and cast iron. The multilayer coating increases wear resistance and heat management, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings during production runs. In practical terms, this results in more consistent cycle times and reduced tooling consumption, a clear rational advantage for batch and serial machining environments.

Geometry that secures dimensional consistency

A controlled relief and corner geometry support both surface quality and insert durability. The insert features an 11° relief angle and a 0.5 mm corner radius, geometries chosen to balance cutting-edge strength with the capacity to deliver acceptable surface finishes on roughing and finishing passes. The small corner radius provides improved edge stability under intermittent cutting loads, which helps to maintain tolerances and reduces the likelihood of premature chipping in challenging operations.

Chip control tailored to reliable process stability

The integrated A57 chipformer is configured to produce predictable, broken chips when cutting P (steel) and K (cast iron) materials. Effective chip control reduces the risk of entanglement, minimises machine stoppages for manual cleaning and contributes to a safer, more automated workflow. For production planners, this means fewer interruptions and improved machine utilisation — a direct efficiency gain that supports tighter throughput targets.

Simple integration and economic advantages

The insert’s designation and format make it compatible with a wide range of indexable milling bodies that accept the MPHX080305 form. The combination of a coated-carbide grade and optimised chip geometry provides a balance between tool life and cutting performance, lowering the cost per component in medium- to high-volume operations. Additionally, the insert’s tolerance class H and execution code X allow predictable mounting and repeatability during successive indexings, supporting reproducible results across batches.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The MPHX080305-A57 WKP35S is designed for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K), reflecting the intended application spectrum of the WKP35S grade.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating improve performance? The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WKP35S insert enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, which increases tool life and maintains cutting performance under the heat and abrasion typical of steel and cast iron machining.

What is the benefit of the A57 chipformer? The A57 chipformer promotes controlled chip breaking and evacuation, reducing the chance of chip clogs and machine interruptions and supporting uninterrupted production cycles.

Can this insert be used for finishing as well as roughing? With its 0.5 mm corner radius and balanced geometry, the insert can be applied to both roughing and certain finishing tasks where the chosen radius and cutting parameters meet the required surface finish and tolerance demands.

Is the insert compatible with standard indexable milling holders? The MPHX080305-A57 form is compatible with milling bodies that accept this ISO-style designation; final compatibility depends on the specific toolholder clamping system and should be confirmed before ordering.
