RDMT2006M0-D57 WKP35S – Milling indexable insert with Tiger-tec Silver, D57 chipbreaker | Walter Tools

The RDMT2006M0-D57 WKP35S is a round milling indexable insert engineered for medium to heavy machining of steel and cast iron, featuring a 15° free angle and a D57 chipbreaker for reliable chip formation

• Tiger-tec Silver coating for increased wear resistance
• WKP35S grade tuned for steel and cast iron
• D57 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Round 20 mm form for versatile milling applications

High-performance coating and cutting grade for reliable productivity

The combination of Tiger-tec Silver and the WKP35S cutting grade delivers a balanced performance that addresses the thermal and abrasive demands of ISO P and K materials. As a coated carbide solution, this insert is optimised for machining unalloyed and alloyed steel as well as cast iron, offering improved resistance to flank and crater wear compared with standard grades. The engineered coating reduces friction at the cutting edge, which translates into longer tool life, fewer interruptions for index changes and a lower cost per component in continuous production runs.

Precision geometry for consistent chips and machining stability

The D57 chipbreaker geometry, combined with the insert’s round 20 mm form and a 15° free angle, promotes predictable chip detachment and evacuation during intermittent or continuous cuts. This design supports stable cutting forces and reduces vibration across a range of feed rates, contributing to reproducible surface quality and dimensional control. Tolerance class M ensures that seating and repeatability in toolholders remain reliable, simplifying tool setting and reducing setup time in serial production. The overall geometry is thus tailored to deliver both process security and efficient material removal.

Practical benefits for workshop integration and process optimisation

Specifically shaped for demanding milling tasks, this indexable insert reduces downtime by extending the interval between indexing and replacements, while maintaining a consistent cutting edge for repetitive operations. The grade’s suitability for both steel and cast iron means fewer tool changes across mixed-production environments, boosting throughput and allowing shops to consolidate tooling inventory.
