P4840P-2R-F57 WKP35S — drilling/boring indexable insert for steel and cast iron, Walter Tools

P4840P-2R-F57 WKP35S is a drilling/boring indexable insert designed for productive machining of steel and cast iron, featuring the Tiger·tec Silver technology from Walter Tools.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide performance
• WKP35S: wear-resistant grade
• Geometry 2R-F57 for controlled chips
• Suited for steel and cast iron machining

Consistent tool life and economical machining

The insert’s combination of Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WKP35S grade provides a balance of wear resistance and edge stability that supports longer tool life in repetitive drilling and boring cycles. As a drilling/boring indexable insert, it is engineered for the thermal and mechanical demands of machining P- and K-class materials, meaning it handles the heat and chip behaviour typical of steel and cast iron. This results in fewer tool changes and more predictable production planning, which benefits overall process economy.

Predictable chip control for uninterrupted cycles

The 2R-F57 chipbreaker geometry is tailored to produce short, controllable chips in interrupted or continuous drilling and bore enlargement operations. By promoting stable chip formation, the insert reduces the risk of chip-related stoppages and improves surface integrity of the workpiece. The geometrical design supports reliable chip evacuation—an advantage in high-volume or automated setups where consistent results are essential.

Practical advantages for workshop and production environments

Designed for use in common drilling and boring toolholders, the insert simplifies inventory and tool management. The coated carbide substrate and the Tiger·tec Silver coating offer resistance against abrasive wear and thermal softening, helping to maintain cutting-edge geometry under demanding conditions. In practice, this means fewer regrinds and steadier dimensional accuracy for internal bores over batch runs, contributing to elevated throughput and reproducibility.

Brand reliability and application support

Walter Tools’ engineering focus on edge stability and process security underpins this grade’s development; the result is a insert that suits manufacturers seeking a dependable cutting solution for mixed steel and cast iron workloads. For specific machining parameters, insert clamping recommendations or to verify compatibility with an existing holder geometry, technical advice is available from Metav Werkzeuge’s specialists who can match the insert’s strengths to the given machining task.
