• Octagonal shape for economical indexing

Predictable edge life for abrasive cast iron components

The combination of the WKK25G cutting grade and Tiger‑tec Gold coating has been developed specifically for cast iron, where abrasive wear and short, breaking chips are the norm. The grade balances wear resistance and toughness, which translates to more consistent cutting performance and fewer unscheduled tool changes. For production environments, this reliability reduces downtime and improves process repeatability, supporting higher overall equipment effectiveness.

Geometry that improves chip control and process stability

The insert’s octagonal plate form and the dedicated A27 chipbreaker manage the typically discontinuous chips of cast iron, promoting controlled fragmentation and safe evacuation. The 15° free angle combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius helps maintain a stable cutting edge under varying loads, lowering vibration and improving surface integrity. These geometry features result in smoother spindle loads and support higher, more consistent metal removal rates.

Designed for cost‑efficient milling and reproducible results

Tolerance class M and the ISO designation ensure compatibility with standard holders and predictable fit in milling cutters. The insert’s multiple usable edges from its shape increase the number of indexings possible before replacement, providing a clear cost benefit per edge. Using a coated grade optimised for abrasive materials reduces flank wear and maintains dimensional control, which is especially important for repeat production runs and mixed‑batch operations.

Practical integration and operational advantages

As a coated indexable insert from Walter Tools, the product is suitable for integration into established toolsets where robust performance and consistent life are priorities. The insert’s execution and series (Tiger‑tec Gold) simplify grade selection for cast iron tasks, making it straightforward to standardise tooling across machines. Fewer adjustments and predictable replacement intervals help planners and operators streamline inventory and maintenance schedules while preserving component quality.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
The insert is optimised for cast iron machining; the WKK25G grade and Tiger‑tec Gold coating are tuned to resist abrasive wear and to handle the short, breaking chips typical of cast materials.

What benefits does the WKK25G grade provide compared with general grades?
WKK25G, as used in the Tiger‑tec Gold series, offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness that yields consistent edge life and fewer tool changes during high‑volume cast iron milling.

How does the A27 chipbreaker affect chip formation?
The A27 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip segmentation in cast iron, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of recutting; this supports process stability and surface quality.

Is the octagonal form suitable for economical use in production?
The octagonal plate form increases the number of indexable positions and allows economical rotation of the cutting edge, which helps lower the cost per cutting edge in serial production.

Can this insert be used for both roughing and finishing operations?
The grade’s balance of toughness and wear resistance makes it suitable for many cast iron operations ranging from medium cutting to finishing passes, depending on cutting data and machine rigidity.
