• Octagonal shape for multiple cutting edges
• 15° free angle for stable engagement
• Chipbreaker A57 tailored for cast iron

Durable coating for abrasive cast-iron applications

The Tiger·tec Gold coating and WKK25G grade deliver a reliable balance between wear resistance and toughness, specifically adapted to the short, brittle chips typical of cast iron. The coating reduces abrasive wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings per workpiece. For production runs where consistent dimensional results and fewer tool changes matter, this combination provides an efficient solution. The technical design helps to maintain a stable cutting edge under cyclic loads, improving reproducibility in CNC milling operations.

Geometry engineered for process security and edge life

An octagonal plate form gives up to eight usable cutting edges, increasing cost-efficiency per insert. The 0.8 mm corner radius and the 15° free angle support a stable cutting geometry that lowers vibration and improves surface finish in cast-iron components. The integrated chipbreaker A57 controls chip shape to prevent clogging and to assist coolant flow, which is particularly useful in interrupted cuts and roughing operations. These features together reduce rework rates and contribute to predictable cycle times on series parts.

Practical benefits for shop-floor productivity

Using this insert reduces non-productive time through fewer tool changes and consistent surface quality, which optimises downstream processes. The combination of grade, coating and chip control means machines can run at productive parameters with lower risk of premature edge failure. For process planners, the insert supports higher uptime and predictable maintenance intervals; for operators, it offers straightforward handling during indexing. The result is a measurable improvement in throughput without sacrificing component integrity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is designed and specified for cast iron machining; the WKK25G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating are optimised for abrasive cast-iron cutting behaviour.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
Thanks to the octagonal plate form, the insert offers multiple indexable cutting edges, which improves cost-effectiveness in serial production.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WKK25G grade increases resistance to abrasive wear and maintains a stable cutting edge during interrupted cuts and cyclic loads.

Is the chip control suitable for interrupted milling?
Yes, the chipbreaker A57 is tailored to control short, brittle chips commonly found in cast iron, improving chip evacuation and process reliability.

Which tolerance and geometry information should be considered for CAM programming?
Refer to the tolerance class M, the plate thickness 05 and the corner radius 0.8 when programming tool offsets and establishing finishing allowances.
