P4841P-2R-A57 WKP35S drilling/boring indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver – Walter Tools

P4841P-2R-A57 WKP35S is an indexable insert developed for drilling and bore-enlarging operations in steel and cast iron, combining a coated-carbide substrate with a geometry optimised for controlled chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• Grade WKP35S, coated carbide
• Optimised for steel and cast iron
• Chipbreaker 2R-A57 for reliable chip control

Enhanced lifetime through advanced coating and substrate

The insert is built on a coated carbide substrate from the Tiger·tec Silver family, which provides enhanced wear resistance under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of machining steel and cast iron. The WKP35S grade is a coated hardmetal designed to balance toughness and hardness; this combination reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings. For production environments where predictable tool behaviour is essential, the coating technology helps maintain cutting edge stability across varied workpiece batches.

Predictable chip control and process stability

A decisive asset of this geometry is the 2R-A57 chipbreaker, engineered to produce short, controllable chips in both ISO P (steel) and ISO K (cast iron) applications. Controlled chip formation reduces the risk of interrupted cuts and machine stoppages, supporting higher average cutting speeds and improved cycle-time consistency. The geometry also contributes to stable cutting forces, which helps preserve the machine spindle and workpiece accuracy — a critical factor in series production and tight-tolerance machining.

Application scope and practical benefits in the workshop

Rated for machining under the ISO groups P and K, this insert suits tasks where mixed batches of unalloyed or alloyed steel and cast iron are processed. The coated grade is intended for a broad material coverage, offering an economical choice when one insert must cover several workpiece types. In practice, that means fewer tool changes and simplified tool stock management, supporting higher machine availability and lower handling overhead. When selecting holders and feeds, pair the insert with stable clamping and ensure recommended coolant or high-pressure strategies are assessed with the machine tool vendor.

Integration, handling and selection advice

As an indexable solution, the insert requires the correct pocket and clamping torque to achieve the promised performance; incorrect seating can affect runout and surface finish. For new setups, verify the holder compatibility and, if possible, perform a short trial under representative cutting conditions to confirm expected chip form and tool life. The P4841P-2R-A57 WKP35S designation helps ensure the correct insert geometry and grade are ordered; for tailored advice on holders or cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge can provide application support and recommendations based on production constraints.
