P2840S-5N-A57 WKP35S – Drilling/Boring indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The P2840S-5N-A57 WKP35S is a coated carbide indexable insert designed for drilling and boring applications, optimised for machining steel and cast iron with a reliable chipbreaker geometry.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• WKP35S grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• 5N-A57 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Coated carbide for consistent cutting performance

Longer tool life and stable production through advanced coating

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WKP35S material grade provides a measurable improvement in wear resistance and thermal stability. The specialised coating reduces flank wear and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge under cyclic thermal loads, which directly extends service intervals and reduces tool-change downtime. For production environments seeking repeatable component quality, this results in fewer interventions and a steadier process flow, translating into predictable productivity gains.

Reliable chip control for safer drilling and boring

The 5N-A57 chipbreaker geometry is engineered to produce short, controllable chips when working with both steel and cast iron, improving chip evacuation in drilled holes and bores. Consistent chip formation reduces the risk of built-up edge and prevents chip packing, which in turn lowers the likelihood of part damage and tool breakage. For operators and process engineers, this means fewer scrap parts and more reliable cycle times during series production.

Efficient material removal with coated carbide performance

As a drilling/boring indexable insert, the component’s coated carbide substrate offers a balance between toughness and hardness suitable for standard industrial operations. The coated structure supports steady cutting at moderate feeds and depths, providing good surface finishes without compromising tool life. Where geometry and grade are matched to the application, the insert helps to maintain dimensional accuracy in holes and bores, contributing to reduced rework and higher first-pass yields.

Practical selection and support for the workshop

Selection of the correct insert grade and chipbreaker is decisive for process security. The WKP35S grade is intended for general-purpose use across steel and cast iron; it is a versatile choice when a stable balance of wear resistance and edge toughness is required. If unsure whether the P2840S-5N-A57 WKP35S is the optimum choice for a specific hole diameter, feed or material condition, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical consultation and cutting-data recommendations to support implementation.
