P4840P-6R-F57 WSP45G drill/boring indexable insert – Tiger·tec Gold, P / M / S compatibility — Walter Tools

P4840P-6R-F57 WSP45G is an indexable insert designed for drilling and bore-enlarging operations, optimised for demanding metalcutting where stable edges and controlled chip formation are essential

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD-coated grade WSP45G
• Suitable for Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• 6R-F57 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Optimised for productive drilling and boring cycles

Robust performance for demanding drilling cycles

The P4840P-6R-F57 WSP45G insert leverages Tiger·tec Gold technology to deliver a PVD-coated carbide geometry that resists thermal loads and maintains a stable cutting edge under intermittent drilling stresses. The combination of coating and substrate results in extended tool life and fewer tool changes, which directly reduces non-productive time on the machine. Its design supports consistent cutting behaviour even in interrupted cuts, making it a reliable choice for series production and high-volume machining.

Predictable chip control and edge security

The specified 6R-F57 chipbreaker is shaped to produce short, controllable chips during bore enlargement and drilling operations, improving evacuation and reducing re-cutting of swarf. This chip management, paired with the grade’s toughness, diminishes the risk of built-up edge and breakout, leading to a higher first-pass success rate. For process planners, the result is improved cycle stability and reduced scrap rates when machining both plain Stahl and tougher materials such as rostfreier Stahl.

Versatile material range with clear process benefits

Engineered for the machining groups P / M / S, the insert is suitable for a wide range of components from general structural Stahl to heat-resistant superalloys and titanium. The grade WSP45G combines toughness and wear resistance, offering a balance between edge life and fracture resilience that is particularly useful where high temperatures and challenging chip formation occur. In practice, this means fewer unexpected tool failures, more predictable maintenance intervals and a smoother production flow.

Why this insert benefits workshop productivity

Beyond the grade and chipbreaker geometry, the component’s indexable format allows for fast seat changes and minimal spindle downtime. The insert supports standard toolholding systems for drilling and boring heads, so integration into existing setups is straightforward. The overall effect is an increase in uptime and process reliability when machining batches or mixed production runs that require quick turnarounds.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this insert?
The P4840P-6R-F57 WSP45G insert is specified for the P / M / S groups and is suitable for machining Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys/titanium.

Is the WSP45G grade intended for milling only?
Although WSP45G is widely used in milling, the P4840P-6R-F57 geometry adapts the grade’s toughness and wear resistance to drilling and bore-enlarging applications for stable performance.

How does the 6R-F57 chipbreaker affect machining?
The 6R-F57 chipbreaker produces short, manageable chips and improves evacuation during drilling cycles, reducing the likelihood of re-cutting and improving process reliability.

Can the insert be used for interrupted drilling operations?
Yes. The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the insert’s substrate provides enhanced edge security for interrupted cuts, lowering the risk of fracture during impact-prone operations.
