SNMX160620-F57 WKP25S – Milling indexable insert, Tiger‑tec Silver, for Stahl and Gusseisen | Walter Tools

SNMX160620-F57 WKP25S is a coated milling insert designed for productive face and shoulder milling of Stahl and Gusseisen in industrial machining environments

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for high productivity
• WKP25S grade for Stahl and Gusseisen
• Square insert 90° with 2 mm corner radius

High productivity through proven coating technology

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP25S coated carbide substrate provides a measurable increase in process efficiency when machining Stahl and Gusseisen. The coating is formulated for stable wear behaviour and improved thermal resistance, which translates into longer tool life and fewer tool changes during batch runs. As the grade is aligned with ISO cutting group requirements, operators will notice consistent chip formation and reduced flank wear under typical milling parameters. This results in a more reliable production flow and a lower overall tool cost per component.

Geometry engineered for stable cutting performance

The insert’s square 90° profile combined with a 2 mm corner radius and chipbreaker F57 gives a balance between cutting edge strength and surface finish capability. The 0° (negative) rake angle contributes to a robust cutting edge, particularly beneficial in interrupted cuts or heavier radial engagement. The design maintains dimensional stability and supports predictable insert wear, aiding programming and process planning. Tolerance class M ensures interchangeability and reliable mounting, which supports repeatable machining results across multiple toolholders.

Broad application range and process reliability

Designed primarily for groups P and K according to ISO 513, this insert is suitable for general-purpose milling in Stahl and Gusseisen applications, where abrasive wear and varying chip forms are common. The chip control geometry combined with the coating means fewer built-up edge events and improved surface integrity on the workpiece. For shops seeking to standardise inserts across variable component families, the SNMX series offers a pragmatic option to reduce complexity while maintaining productivity.
