• SDMW120408-A57 WKP35G by Walter Tools
• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide for long tool life
• For steel (P) and cast iron (K) machining
• 15° relief angle, 0.8 mm corner radius

Consistent performance on steel and cast iron for reliable results

The WKP35G grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family is a coated carbide designed to handle the thermal and mechanical loads typical of steel and cast iron cutting. The coating technology improves wear resistance and reduces adhesion, which translates into stable cutting behaviour and fewer unexpected tool changes. For production contexts where cycle times and surface quality matter, this grade offers a balance between durability and predictable tool life, supporting process planning and inventory control.

Geometry engineered to deliver stable cuts and good surface finish

A 90° square shape combined with a 15° relief angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius gives the insert mechanical robustness and edge strength. The geometry helps to distribute cutting forces and reduces the risk of chipping during interrupted cuts. The integrated chipbreaker A57 controls chip form for the typical chips produced when machining steels and cast irons, easing evacuation and reducing the chance of re-cutting. These features together improve surface finish and contribute to consistent part tolerances.

Productivity gains through coating and grade selection

The Tiger·tec Gold technology and the WKP35G designation aim for longer tool life and process security, which support higher component throughput and fewer tool interventions. The coated surface lowers friction and thermal load at the cutting edge, enabling more stable cutting parameters and higher productivity in serial machining. For operations that prioritise uptime and repeatable quality, the combination of this grade and chip control reduces downtime and helps maintain cycle-time targets.

Practical guidance for integration and handling

This insert is specified as insert size 12 and is supplied in the SDMW120408-A57 design; it fits cutters and holders compatible with this ISO-style reference. The square geometry provides multiple indexable edges, offering economical replacement intervals in many production set-ups. When selecting cutting parameters, match feeds and speeds to the machine capability and the workpiece grade; the SDMW120408-A57 insert is particularly suitable where a balance of edge strength and chip control is required. For specific toolholder matching or parameter recommendations, refer to tooling catalogues or contact the supplier for application data.
