P2840S-3N-F57 WSP45G drilling and bore-enlargement indexable insert by Walter Tools

The P2840S-3N-F57 WSP45G is a coated carbide indexable insert engineered for drilling and bore-enlargement operations in steels, stainless steels and heat-resistant alloys, providing stable cutting performance in mixed-production environments.

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating for extended tool life
• Versatile WSP45G grade for P, M and S materials
• Stable cutting edge with 3N-F57 chipbreaker
• Suitable for drilling and bore enlargement operations

Longer tool life through advanced coating technology

The insert’s Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating is designed to reduce wear and delay flank and crater degradation, which translates into fewer tool changes and higher productivity. The WSP45G grade combines a wear-resistant surface with a tough substrate to withstand intermittent cutting conditions common in drilling and boring. This balance reduces the risk of premature edge chipping while maintaining a consistent surface finish, making the insert suitable for batch production as well as single-piece engineering work.

Reliable chip control and process stability for mixed materials

Equipped with the 3N-F57 chipbreaker, the insert supports controlled chip formation during penetration and reaming passes. This chip geometry helps to avoid long, stringy swarf and supports predictable evacuation when machining steel (P), stainless steel (M) and superalloys/titanium (S). The result is improved process security and reduced downtime due to chip-related interruptions. For shops running mixed-material programmes, the insert’s design reduces setup complexity and increases machine uptime.

Application-focused design for precise bore finishing

The tool geometry and substrate are selected to provide a stable cutting edge during radial and axial engagement typical of drilling and bore enlargement. The coated carbide construction supports consistent dimensional accuracy and surface quality when paired with suitable holders and cutting conditions. Where finish and tolerance are critical, the insert’s stability minimises vibration and promotes repeatable results, helping to meet tight bore specifications with confidence.

If uncertain whether this insert matches a specific machine or holder, or if cutting data for a special alloy is required, detailed assistance is available from Metav Werkzeuge; machining parameters and optimisation tips can be provided to suit the application and equipment.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The P2840S-3N-F57 WSP45G insert is suitable for steel (P), stainless steel (M) and superalloys/titanium (S), with the WSP45G grade optimised for the heat and chip-formation characteristics of these groups.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the insert reduces abrasive and adhesive wear, improving edge life and maintaining consistent cutting performance under intermittent drilling and bore-enlargement loads.

How does the 3N-F57 chipbreaker affect machining?
The 3N-F57 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip segmentation and reliable evacuation during drilling and boring, which supports stable machining and reduces the risk of chip-related interruptions.

Is the insert suited to demanding, high-temperature alloys?
Yes; the WSP45G grade and coated carbide construction are formulated to cope with poor thermal conductivity and high cutting temperatures typical of superalloys and titanium, enabling safer, more reliable machining.
