RDMX1604M0T-A27 WKP35G — Fräswendeschneidplatte (round, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel & cast iron) — Walter Tools

The RDMX1604M0T-A27 WKP35G is a round milling indexable insert designed for productive roughing and medium-duty finishing in steel and cast iron applications.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WKP35G
• Optimised for steel and cast iron machining
• Round format R16 with 15° clearance
• A27 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

Increase throughput with predictable chip control and edge stability

The Tiger·tec Gold grade WKP35G delivers a combination of coated carbide substrate and a performance-optimised coating system that reduces flank and crater wear under typical milling temperatures. The integrated A27 chipbreaker shapes and evacuates chips reliably, which lowers the risk of re-cutting and enables higher feed rates while maintaining process stability. Specified for ISO group P (steel) and K (cast iron), this geometry supports consistent cycle times and improves the cost per part in serial production.

Longer tool life and improved surface quality for fewer interruptions

Thanks to the tailor-made wear resistance of the Tiger·tec Gold technology, the grade provides a stable cutting edge over extended runs, reducing insert changes and unplanned stoppages. The 15° clearance reduces friction at the cutting zone and helps to moderate cutting temperatures, contributing to a more consistent workpiece finish. For operations where repeatability and surface integrity matter, the coated grade and robust microgeometry combine to deliver lower total machining costs and improved process reliability.

Versatile round format suited to interrupted cuts and versatile pocketing

The round R16 format and compact thickness code 04 offer multiple cutting edges per insert, increasing usable life in batch work. The tolerance class M and the plate’s round geometry make it particularly tolerant in applications with variable engagement or interrupted cuts, such as shoulder milling or heavy pocketing in cast components. Selection according to the insert’s chipbreaker and the material group (ISO 513 P/K) ensures the right compromise between material removal rate and surface integrity for a wide range of machining tasks.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for hardened steels?
The RDMX1604M0T-A27 WKP35G is optimised for ISO groups P and K (steel and cast iron); it is not specified for hardened steels near HRC ranges unless otherwise stated by tooling recommendations.

What advantage does the WKP35G grade provide?
The WKP35G grade, part of the Tiger·tec Gold family, offers enhanced wear resistance and stable edge retention, which translates to longer tool life and consistent surface quality in milling applications of steel and cast iron.

Which operations benefit most from the A27 chipbreaker?
The A27 chipbreaker is designed for controlled chip formation in medium to heavy milling, especially where chip control and evacuation are critical—examples include shoulder milling, trochoidal passes and interrupted cuts.

How does the round format affect cutting strategy?
Round inserts provide a high number of usable cutting edges and greater indexability; their geometry offers improved stability in variable engagement scenarios and is well suited to pocketing and roughing where interrupted cuts occur
