ODMW050408T-A27 WKP25S — indexable milling insert, Tiger·tec Silver, 15° free angle (Walter Tools)

The ODMW050408T-A27 WKP25S is an indexable milling insert optimised for efficient machining of steel and cast iron, combining a robust coated carbide grade with a chipbreaker geometry suited to general milling tasks.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for stable cutting
• WKP25S grade for steel and cast-iron machining
• 15° free angle with 0.8 mm corner radius
• A27 chipbreaker, octagonal insert form

Boosted productivity through advanced coated carbide technology

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP25S grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness that is targeted at machining steel (P) and cast iron (K). The coating reduces adhesive wear and improves edge stability under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of these materials, which helps to extend tool life and reduce unplanned interruptions. By converting coating and grade performance into fewer tool changes, production flow becomes more predictable and cost per part is lowered.

Geometry designed for edge strength and consistent surface quality

The octagonal insert form with a 15° free angle and 0.8 mm corner radius provides a stable cutting edge that supports both roughing and finishing operations. The A27 chipbreaker is engineered for effective chip control across a range of cutting depths, reducing the risk of recutting and promoting consistent surface finish. The tolerance class M ensures manufacturing precision for reliable seating and repeatability in toolholders, translating into reproducible component quality and fewer setup adjustments.

Application flexibility and process reliability on the shop floor

This insert is suited to standard milling toolholders and is appropriate where a versatile, general-purpose solution is required for mixed batches of steel and cast iron components. The design emphasises consistent chip formation and a robust cutting edge, helping to maintain stable process windows across series production. For enquiries about compatibility with a specific milling cutter body or to discuss recommended cutting data for a particular alloy, Metav Werkzeuge can provide tailored guidance to match the insert’s properties to the application.

FAQ

Which workpiece materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is designed for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K); the WKP25S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating are optimised for these groups.

How does the A27 chipbreaker affect machining results?
The A27 chipbreaker improves chip control and reduces the likelihood of recutting, supporting steady surface finish and easier swarf evacuation in both roughing and semi-finish operations.

What benefits does the 15° free angle provide?
A 15° free angle reduces cutting forces on the flank and helps maintain edge strength, contributing to longer tool life and more consistent component tolerances.

Is the insert compatible with common milling cutter bodies?
The octagonal form and standard designation make the insert compatible with many indexable milling cutter systems; for confirmation of fit, specify the cutter model when consulting Metav Werkzeuge.

Can this insert improve overall process stability?
Yes—the combination of Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP25S grade is intended to enhance wear resistance and reproducibility, helping to stabilise machining processes in production environments.
