• Round 16 mm insert with A27 chipbreaker

Consistent machining quality for steel and cast iron

The combination of the WKP25S grade and the Tiger‑tec Silver coating delivers controlled wear behaviour under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of steel (P) and cast iron (K) machining. The cutting material is coated carbide, which balances toughness and hardness to resist abrasive wear while maintaining a stable cutting edge. This results in fewer tool changes, predictable component tolerances and more consistent surface finish across long production runs, which supports higher throughput and reduced downtime.

Long tool life through advanced coating and grade

The Tiger‑tec Silver finish reduces friction at the cutting zone and improves heat resistance, extending the service life of the insert compared with uncoated grades. The WKP25S grade is tuned for typical chip formation in steel and for the abrasive nature of cast iron, so the insert sustains edge integrity under interrupted cuts and varying feed conditions. For shops seeking cost‑effective, repeatable results, this combination means fewer insert changes and lower per‑part tooling costs.

Efficient chip control with the A27 geometry

The A27 chipbreaker geometry is optimised to produce short, controllable chips when milling a wide range of steels and cast irons. The round, indexable configuration enables multiple cutting edges per insert and flexibility in entering and leaving interrupted cuts. Improved chip control reduces the risk of chip packing and minimises rework, while the round insert form gives smooth engagement and predictable cutting forces in radial and axial milling operations.

Practical integration into production workflows

The insert’s round form and compact 16 mm size enable use in compact milling heads and modular tooling systems; the 15° relief angle supports secure edge engagement and reduces built‑up edge formation. Specifying this insert in process planning supports stable machine loads and predictable tool life, which simplifies planning for inserts per shift and helps to achieve consistent component quality. For integration questions or cutting parameter recommendations, application data from the manufacturer and practical shop trials are advisable.
