P4160-2R08-E47 WKP30S — Indexable insert for drilling and bore enlargement, Tiger·tec Silver, for steel and cast iron | Walter Tools

P4160-2R08-E47 WKP30S is an indexable insert designed for high-productivity drilling and bore-enlarging applications in conventional steels and cast irons

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for enhanced wear resistance
• WKP30S grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• Stable chip formation and reliable machining
• Chipbreaker 2R08-E47 for consistent chip control

Maximise cutting performance with advanced coating and grade

The P4160-2R08-E47 WKP30S insert combines the Tiger·tec Silver coating with a coated carbide substrate to resist abrasive wear and reduce flank degradation during continuous drilling. This technical pairing improves tool life and maintains consistent cutting edges under thermal load, which in practice reduces machine downtime and tooling costs. The insert is specified for ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), so the cutting geometry and coating behaviour are matched to the typical heat generation and chip characteristics of these materials.

Improve process reliability and surface quality through stable chip control

The dedicated chipbreaker 2R08-E47 promotes short, predictable chips that evacuate reliably from the bore, lowering the risk of chatter and tool damage. With clear chip control, feed rates can be stabilised and surface finish is more consistent, delivering tangible productivity gains per shift. The WKP30S grade offers balanced toughness and wear resistance, making it suitable where abrasive cast iron and tougher steels are encountered. Explanation: a coated carbide insert uses a hard substrate with a thin engineered coating to delay abrasive and adhesive wear mechanisms.

Reduce production interruptions with robust geometry and application focus

Its insert geometry aligns with standard P4160 drilling systems, ensuring repeatable seating and secure clamping in the toolholder. The predictable flank behaviour and the robust coating enable longer intervals between indexings and replacements, supporting leaner tool inventories and fewer machine stoppages. Operators benefit from simpler process setup and less rework, while planners gain improved process stability across batches. The product suits workshop and production environments where consistent, repeatable hole-making in steel and cast iron is required.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is specified for steel and cast iron according to ISO groups P and K; the WKP30S grade is tuned to these materials.

What does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the insert increases resistance to abrasive wear and improves thermal stability, extending tool life under demanding drilling conditions.

Which chipbreaker is used and why does it matter?
The chipbreaker 2R08-E47 produces short, controlled chips that evacuate reliably from bores, reducing the risk of chip-related stoppages and improving surface finish.

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel or hardened materials?
No specific suitability for stainless steel or hardened steels is indicated; the insert is designed for ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron) as provided.

How does the insert help reduce production costs?
Longer tool life, stable chip control and reduced downtime from fewer indexings contribute to lower tooling and machine costs over production cycles.
