P4840P-7R-F57 WSP45G drill/reamer indexable insert — Tiger·tec Gold by Walter Tools

The P4840P-7R-F57 WSP45G is a coated carbide indexable insert designed for drilling and boring operations, offering a tough PVD grade suited to steel, stainless steel and heat‑resistant alloys.

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD-coated grade WSP45G
• Suitable for steel, stainless and superalloys
• 7R‑F57 chipbreaker for predictable chip control
• Robust edge stability for productive machining

High productivity through a balanced cutting grade

The WSP45G grade, part of the Tiger·tec Gold family, combines a PVD-coated surface with a composition that emphasises toughness and versatility. This balance reduces the risk of premature chipping while maintaining wear resistance during longer tool life. For shop floors processing mixed batches, the coated carbide chemistry supports consistent performance across ISO groups P, M and S (unalloyed/alloyed steels, rostfreiem Stahl and heat‑resistant alloys). The result is fewer insert changes and more uninterrupted cycle times, which translates into measurable improvements in machine utilisation and workpiece throughput.

Predictable chips and stable cutting edges for safe processes

The 7R‑F57 chipbreaker is engineered to produce controlled chip formation under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of drilling and boring. Predictable chip flow reduces the need for manual chip handling and minimises the risk of recutting or surface damage. Edge geometry and the PVD finish together support a stable cutting edge, which is particularly valuable when switching between different steels or harder alloys. For users less familiar with insert geometry, this means clearer process windows and easier parameter tuning on the machine.

Practical advantages for different machining tasks

Although the grade is broadly used in milling applications, its toughness and coating technology make it well suited to indexable drilling and boring where intermittent cutting and variable feed conditions occur. The material suitability for steel, stainless steel and superalloys ensures a single insert type can cover diverse component families, reducing inventory complexity. In addition, the insert’s construction supports standard mounting and handling routines on common indexable drill or boring holders, simplifying integration into existing toolsets and fixtures.

Straightforward specification and shop‑floor integration

Key technical attributes are clearly specified so process engineers can make informed decisions: the WSP45G grade is a coated carbide (PVD) designed for a broad range of alloys; the 7R‑F57 chipbreaker supports controlled chips; and the insert form factor aligns with common drill/reamer indexable systems. When specifying machining strategies, these objective data points support optimisation of speeds, feeds and coolant strategies to achieve target tool life and surface finish without lengthy trial‑and‑error.
