P4840P-6R-A57 WKP35S Drilling/Boring Indexable Insert, Tiger‑tec Silver, for Steel and Cast Iron — Walter Tools

A P4840P-6R-A57 WKP35S indexable insert engineered for productive drilling and boring applications in steel and cast iron

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• WKP35S grade, coated carbide substrate
• Chipbreaker 6R‑A57 for controlled chip flow
• Optimised for steel (P) and cast iron (K)

Consistent productivity through proven coating technology

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and a coated carbide substrate delivers a measurable improvement in wear resistance and process stability. This insert is designed to reduce flank wear under the thermal loads typical of steel machining, while the coating reduces built‑up edge during interrupted cuts. The result is a longer effective tool life and fewer index changes, which translates into higher uptime and predictable production cycles for repetitive drilling and boring tasks.

Reliable chip control for safer, faster metal removal

The 6R‑A57 chipbreaker geometry has been developed to promote short, controllable chips when machining both steel and cast iron, matching ISO groups P and K. Controlled chip formation lowers the risk of tool pull‑out and prevents chip entanglement in deep holes, improving hole quality and operator safety. For workshop applications where consistent evacuation and surface integrity matter, this insert supports faster cycle times without sacrificing reliability.

Versatility across typical ferrous materials

Engineered for a broad range of ferrous materials, the insert’s substrate and coating chemistry make it suitable for unalloyed, alloyed and alloyed cast materials commonly encountered in production environments. By combining WKP35S grade characteristics with the Tiger‑tec Silver platform, the insert offers an effective balance between wear resistance and fracture toughness, providing a dependable solution where both surface finish and tool economy are priorities.

Practical benefits for process planning and integration

Integrating this indexable insert into an existing drilling or boring toolbody is straightforward and yields tangible process benefits: fewer tool changes, consistent hole quality and reduced overall tooling cost per hole. The insert’s defined geometry simplifies parameter selection for CAM programming and operator setup; documented cutting data from Walter Tools and Metav Werkzeuge can be used to fine‑tune speeds and feeds to specific machine conditions and part materials.
