ODMT050408-D57 WKP35G – Milling Insert (Tiger‑tec Gold) for Stahl and Gusseisen | Walter Tools

A ODMT050408-D57 WKP35G milling insert engineered for productive face and profile milling of Stahl and Gusseisen, combining the Tiger‑tec Gold coating with a D57 chipbreaker for stable cutting performance.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised chip control with D57 chipbreaker
• Suitable for Stahl and Gusseisen machining
• Octagonal form with 0.8 mm corner radius

Proven productivity through advanced coating and substrate

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WKP35G substrate provides an optimised balance between oxidation resistance and edge toughness. This reduces flank wear under typical milling heat loads and extends usable life, which in turn lowers tool-change frequency and increases uptime. For operations where cycle times and repeatability matter, the coated grade supports higher sustained cut parameters without sacrificing stability.

Predictable chip formation and surface finish

Equipped with the D57 chipbreaker and an octagonal geometry, the insert delivers controlled chip segmentation that shortens cycle times and simplifies material handling. The modest 0.8 mm corner radius helps maintain a strong cutting edge while contributing to consistent surface quality during finishing passes. These design choices mean fewer interruptions for chip clearing and predictable results on the shop floor.

Versatile performance across common engineering materials

Designed for the ISO groups P and K, the insert is tailored to machine Stahl and Gusseisen efficiently. The geometry and coating combination addresses both the thermal demands of steel machining and the abrasive tendencies of cast materials, enabling one tool concept to cover roughing and semi‑finishing steps in mixed runs. This versatility supports leaner tooling inventories and more flexible process planning.

Robust indexability and handling advantages

The octagonal form provides multiple effective cutting edges, improving cost‑efficiency per index. A 15° relief angle ensures secure engagement in a range of cutter bodies while promoting stable chip flow. Together, the geometry and grade simplify insert handling and indexing in production environments, making performance predictable and maintenance straightforward.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?
The ODMT050408-D57 WKP35G insert from Walter Tools is designed for ISO groups P and K, meaning it is suitable for machining Stahl and Gusseisen with good wear resistance and chip control.

How does the Tiger‑tec Gold coating improve performance?
The Tiger‑tec Gold coating on the WKP35G grade enhances oxidation resistance and edge stability, allowing Walter Tools inserts to run at higher cutting parameters with improved tool life versus uncoated grades.

What is the benefit of the D57 chipbreaker?
The D57 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip segmentation and evacuation during milling, which reduces recutting and supports stable surface finishes with fewer interruptions.

How many cutting edges are available per insert index?
The octagonal plate form provides multiple indexing positions; exact counts depend on the cutter body and mounting, but the form maximises the number of usable edges for cost efficiency.

Is the insert suitable for finishing as well as roughing?
Yes. The combination of a 0.8 mm corner radius, 15° relief and the WKP35G grade offers a compromise between toughness and edge definition suitable for both semi‑finishing and certain finishing operations.
