P4840P-5R-F57 WKP35S drill/boring indexable insert — Tiger‑tec Silver, Walter Tools

The P4840P-5R-F57 WKP35S is a coated carbide indexable insert engineered for drilling and boring tasks, optimised for robust performance in steel and cast iron machining.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended life
• Robust coated carbide grade WKP35S
• Optimised chip control with 5R‑F57 chipbreaker
• Suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K)

Increased productivity through a wear‑resistant grade

The combination of the WKP35S grade and the Tiger‑tec Silver coating delivers a balance of wear resistance and thermal stability that translates into longer tool life and fewer index changes. Designed for the thermal and mechanical demands of machining unalloyed, alloyed and cast materials, this coated carbide insert maintains a stable cutting edge under cyclic loads. The result is reduced downtime and a more predictable process window, which supports higher machine utilisation and lower cost per hole when integrated into standard drilling or reaming cycles.

Consistent chip control for safer, cleaner machining

The 5R‑F57 chipbreaker is tuned to provide controlled chip formation with both short, fracturing chips in cast iron and the continuous chips typical of many steels. Improved chip control reduces the risk of chip entanglement and workpiece damage, simplifying evacuation and post‑process cleaning. For workshops prioritising process stability, this leads to fewer stoppages and a safer machining environment, especially in automated or lights‑out setups where reliable chip behaviour is essential.

Clear advantages in application and performance

Specified for the ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the insert supports common industrial drilling and boring requirements without unnecessary complexity. The coated grade enables higher cutting parameters compared with uncoated counterparts, permitting improved metal removal rates while sustaining surface quality. As the indexable insert is part of an established series, compatibility with existing toolholders and proven cutting data helps to integrate the component into existing production chains with minimal qualification time.

Practical selection and process integration

Identification by the ISO designation P4840P-5R-F57 WKP35S simplifies procurement and tool management. When selecting inserts for specific operations, consider the workpiece material, required hole quality and cycle time targets; matching the chipbreaker and grade to the application typically yields the best trade‑off between productivity and tool life. For atypical materials or severe cutting conditions, Metav Werkzeuge’s consultants can advise on parameter tuning and tooling systems to achieve consistent results.
