ODMT050408-D57 WSM35G — Indexable milling insert, Tiger‑tec Gold, Walter Tools

The ODMT050408‑D57 WSM35G is an octagonal indexable milling insert engineered for demanding milling of stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys, providing robust edge stability and reliable chip formation in interrupted and continuous cuts.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade
• Optimised for stainless steels (ISO M)
• Octagonal shape, 8 usable cutting edges
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for robust edges

Increase throughput with a wear-resistant grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WSM35G formulation gives a coated carbide solution that balances heat resistance with edge strength. For materials classified under ISO M (rostfreie Stähle) and ISO S (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium), this grade helps to maintain a stable cutting edge at elevated temperatures and reduces the tendency for built-up edge. The result is longer tool life and more consistent surface quality during extended production runs.

Stable edges and controlled chip formation for secure machining

A defined corner radius of 0.8 mm together with the D57 chipbreaker supports predictable chip segmentation and evacuation. The 15° clearance assists in reducing rubbing while maintaining a strong cutting edge, which is particularly important when machining tough, adhesive stainless grades. The chipbreaker geometry manages chip curl and thickness to lower cutting forces and reduce the risk of tool damage, translating to fewer interruptions and higher effective machining time.

Lower cost per edge through eight usable cutting positions

The octagonal insert geometry provides up to eight indexable edges, improving cost efficiency per insert compared with fewer‑edge designs. The insert format (ODMT050408 series) and tolerance class M ensure interchangeability in conventional milling toolholders that accept this form factor. Thanks to the combination of geometry and coated carbide grade, shops benefit from predictable edge changes and reduced setup complexity, supporting repeatable results across batch production.

Practical considerations to secure process reliability

For best results, pair the insert with toolholders designed for positive pocket support and use cutting parameters adapted for stainless steels and high‑temperature alloys; modest increases in feed per tooth and stable coolant or lubrication strategies often improve chip control. The Tiger·tec Gold technology and WSM35G grade from Walter Tools are designed to assist process engineers in maintaining cutting edge integrity and achieving consistent productivity under challenging conditions.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steels?
The ODMT050408‑D57 WSM35G insert is optimised for ISO M applications and is engineered to manage the adhesion and heat issues typical of stainless steels, delivering improved chip control and edge life.

How many times can the insert be indexed before replacement?
Thanks to the octagonal geometry, the insert offers up to eight usable cutting edges; service life per edge depends on cutting parameters and workpiece material when used in Walter Tools milling systems.

What benefits does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WSM35G grade enhances heat resistance and wear performance while supporting stable chip formation in demanding materials such as rostfreie Stähle and superalloys.

Which chipbreaker and edge geometry are included?
This insert features the D57 chipbreaker combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 15° clearance, designed to promote controlled chip segmentation and robust cutting behaviour in intermittent and continuous milling.

Is the insert compatible with standard ODMT pockets?
The ODMT050408 format and tolerance class M conform to common ODMT‑type pockets; verify toolholder compatibility and clamping seat dimensions before mounting.
