• Square 90° geometry, 12 mm size
• 15° rake angle with F57 chipbreaker

Maximise production throughput with a robust coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WKP35G grade supplies a well-balanced solution between wear resistance and toughness. Coated carbide technology reduces flank wear and helps maintain a stable cutting edge under higher thermal loads, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes. For operations where cycle time matters, this balance lowers overall machining cost per component while preserving surface quality.

Consistent chip control and secure cutting geometry

With a dedicated F57 chipbreaker and a square 90° insert form, the geometry concentrates forces for predictable chip formation and evacuation. The 15° rake angle supports effective shearing in interrupted cuts and mixed chip-forming conditions commonly encountered in cast iron and alloy steels. The result is reduced vibration, steadier cutting conditions and improved tool reliability in medium to heavy milling tasks.

Broad material capability tailored to common workshop demands

Rated for ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the insert is suited to a wide range of unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as grey and ductile cast irons. The WKP35G grade is a coated carbide optimised for the abrasive and breakable chip behaviour of these materials; the geometry and coating work together to manage heat and wear, enabling stable performance across typical shopfloor feeds and speeds.

Practical integration and process security in production lines

Tolerance class G, the listed plate thickness and the 12 mm plate size ensure repeatable seating and positioning in standard cutter bodies designed for this family. The execution marked as “T” denotes the specific relief or orientation required by compatible holders. Where process stability is crucial, pairing this insert with appropriate cutter bodies and verified cutting parameters results in consistent part quality and predictable tool-change cycles.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The SDGT1204AZN-F57 WKP35G is designed for machining steel (ISO P) and cast iron (ISO K); the WKP35G grade and its Tiger·tec Gold coating are optimised for the heat and wear characteristics of these materials.

How does the F57 chipbreaker affect machining?
The F57 chipbreaker controls chip shape and evacuation, improving stability during interrupted cuts and reducing the risk of chip-related surface damage when using the square 90° geometry with a 15° rake.

Which series and grade does this insert belong to?
This insert is part of the Tiger·tec Gold series and uses the WKP35G coated carbide grade from Walter Tools, offering a compromise between wear resistance and edge toughness for demanding milling tasks.

Is the insert suitable for heavy-duty milling applications?
Yes; the combination of the grade, coating and robust square geometry makes the insert appropriate for medium to heavy milling operations in steel and cast iron when paired with the correct cutter body and cutting parameters.
