ODMT060512-D57 WKP35G milling insert — Tiger‑tec Gold, for steel and cast iron — Walter Tools

ODMT060512-D57 WKP35G is an octagonal milling insert with a Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade, engineered for robust milling of steel and cast iron in both productive roughing and dependable finishing operations

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended wear
• Suitable for steel and cast iron machining
• 15° clearance for controlled chip flow
• Octagonal form with 1.2 mm corner radius

Consistent performance from Tiger‑tec Gold for demanding materials

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating combined with the WKP35G grade provides a balanced solution for productive milling of steel and cast iron. As a coated carbide insert, it is designed to resist abrasive wear common with cast materials while coping with the thermal and mechanical loads present when cutting steels. This results in more stable machining conditions and extended tool life, which supports predictable cycle times and fewer insert changes in serial production.

Controlled chips and edge strength minimise rework

The D57 chipbreaker geometry and the 15° free clearance angle optimise chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and workpiece damage. The 1.2 mm corner radius gives a favourable compromise between edge strength and achievable surface finish, allowing both robust roughing passes and improved finishing where required. The octagonal plate form increases the number of indexable edges, improving cost efficiency per insert and reducing the need for frequent tool replacements.

Practical suitability and process reliability in milling applications

Designed for general-purpose milling tasks where steel and cast iron predominate, this insert supports a range of machining strategies from heavier material removal to controlled finishing runs. The coated grade helps maintain a stable cutting edge under varying conditions, contributing to reproducible surface quality and dependable cycle outputs. For application-specific parameter settings or to confirm compatibility with a particular toolholder or machine, Metav Werkzeuge provides tailored advice and process recommendations.
