P4160-2L08-E47 WKP30S – Drilling / Reaming Indexable Insert, Tiger‑tec Silver, for Steel & Cast Iron | Walter Tools

The P4160-2L08-E47 WKP30S is an indexable insert designed for drilling and reaming operations, optimised for machining steel and cast iron and suitable for batch and production environments

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• Optimised for steel (P) and cast iron (K) machining
• Precision 2L08‑E47 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Original Walter Tools quality and repeatability

High‑performance coating and grade for longer productive runs

The insert benefits from the Tiger‑tec Silver technology and the WKP30S grade, a coated carbide solution engineered to withstand the thermal and abrasive demands of drilling into carbon and alloyed steels as well as grey and nodular cast iron. The advanced coating reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into extended tool life and fewer interruptions for indexable insert changes. For production planners and shop floor managers, this means lower tooling costs per component and more consistent cycle times, supporting smoother workflow and predictable output.

Consistent chip formation and process stability for safer cycles

A dedicated 2L08‑E47 chipbreaker geometry provides controlled chip shaping and evacuation during turning and reaming operations, reducing the risk of built‑up edge or chip re-cutting. The tailored groove design facilitates predictable fracture of steel and cast iron swarf, improving chip control and coolant access. Stable chip behaviour reduces load peaks on the toolholder and machine spindle, which enhances surface finish and minimises rework — a direct contribution to higher overall equipment effectiveness and improved part quality.

Versatile application scope for mixed‑material production

The insert is specified for ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), making it a practical choice for shops that process mixed batches or changeovers between ferrous materials. The coated carbide grade addresses the heat and wear patterns typical for these families of materials and is suitable where repeatability and process reliability are required. As an indexable insert for drilling and reaming, it supports rapid insert replacability, straightforward stockkeeping and simple integration into existing tool systems, offering operational ease without compromising on performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The P4160-2L08-E47 WKP30S insert is specified for ISO groups P and K, meaning it is suitable for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K) applications.

What benefit does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WKP30S grade increases wear resistance and thermal stability, resulting in longer tool life and more consistent performance during prolonged drilling or reaming cycles.

How does the 2L08‑E47 chipbreaker affect machining?
The 2L08‑E47 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving chip control and reducing the likelihood of recutting or built‑up edge during operations in steel and cast iron.

Is this insert compatible with standard drill holders?
As an indexable drilling/reaming insert from Walter Tools, the design is intended for use in compatible drill heads and holders that accept the P4160 family geometry; toolholder compatibility should be verified against holder specifications and the insert designation.

What advantage does choosing the WKP30S grade offer for production runs?
The WKP30S grade offers a combination of wear resistance and predictable fracture behaviour suitable for mixed production, reducing tool change frequency and supporting steady cycle times and surface quality.
