High productivity for steel and cast iron machining

The insert is engineered to deliver stable cutting performance in applications involving both steel and cast iron. The combination of a robust substrate and the WKP35S grade balances wear resistance and toughness, so the component resists abrasive conditions typical of cast materials while still handling the heat and continuous chips encountered with steels. This results in more predictable tool life and fewer unplanned tool changes, supporting efficient production cycles and reduced downtime.

Precise chip control and surface quality

A defining benefit of the geometry is the 6R‑F57 chipbreaker, which provides predictable fragmenting and evacuation of chips during drilling and reaming operations. Controlled chip formation reduces the risk of build-up and improves coolant access to the cutting zone, supporting a better surface finish and minimising the need for secondary operations. The chip control also improves process security in automated setups and clustered toolpaths.

Coating technology for extended service life

The Tiger·tec Silver coating technology on the WKP35S grade offers a hard, wear-resistant surface with good thermal stability. This coating reduces flank and crater wear, enabling higher metal removal rates in many cases without compromising tool life. For production environments that require a balance of productivity and predictable tool performance, the coated grade helps to extend intervals between insert changes and lowers overall tooling costs per part.

Integration into existing tool systems and practical guidance

The insert form factor is compatible with standard drilling and reaming bodies designed for exchangeable cutting tips. When integrating the insert into a cutter head, attention to seat condition and clamping torque will ensure repeatable results. For machining strategies, consider moderate feed increases where coolant and chipbreaker action can evacuate chips reliably; this often yields improved cycle times while keeping tool wear within acceptable limits. The insert supports both serial production and single-pass finishing strategies depending on the cutter design.
