SNMX090408-F57 WKP35G – Square 90° milling insert, Tiger‑tec Gold, for steel and cast iron (Walter Tools)

The SNMX090408-F57 WKP35G is a square indexable milling insert engineered for high-productivity face and shoulder milling of steel and cast iron, offering robust edge stability and optimised chip control.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Designed for steel and cast iron (ISO P/K)
• Square 90° geometry for versatile milling
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge

Durable cutting performance through advanced coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold technology and the WKP35G grade provides a balance between wear resistance and toughness, which is especially beneficial during interrupted cuts and high-volume runs. The specialised coated carbide structure reduces flank wear and stabilises the cutting edge, resulting in consistent tool life and fewer index changes. For operations where repeatable surface finish and predictable regrinds are important, this specification supports steady production and simplified tool management.

Geometry and chip control that increase process reliability

A square 90° insert form with a 0° negative rake and a 0.8 mm corner radius gives a robust support geometry that resists edge chipping and reduces the risk of premature failure. The F57 chipbreaker is tuned to break and evacuate chips efficiently when machining steels and cast irons, lowering the chance of built-up edge and improving surface quality. These geometric choices translate into greater process security and stable cutting forces, which benefits both tool life and machine spindle loads.

Practical guidance for workshop integration and tool selection

The insert’s medium tolerance class M and execution X facilitate interchangeability in common Walter Toolholders and similar systems; the nominal thickness and size code support a wide range of cutter bodies. Given the material designation P / K (ISO P for steel, K for cast iron), this insert is recommended where mixed production demands both toughness and abrasion resistance. For best results, match feeds and speeds to the machine rigidity and workpiece clamping and consult manufacturer cutting data for optimised parameters.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SNMX090408-F57 WKP35G is designed for steel and cast iron machining (ISO groups P and K), with the WKP35G grade tuned for typical steel heat and chip behaviour.

How does the F57 chipbreaker affect machining?
The F57 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation when cutting steels and cast irons, helping to reduce built‑up edge and supporting a consistent surface finish.

What advantages does the Tiger‑tec Gold coating provide?
Tiger‑tec Gold coating on this insert increases wear resistance and thermal stability, extending edge life and maintaining cutting performance under high productivity conditions.

Is the geometry suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the square 90° form with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 0° negative rake gives the insert robust edge support that enhances resistance to chipping during interrupted milling.
