TCMT110204-MK4 WKK10S turning indexable insert — triangle 60°, 0.4 mm corner radius (Walter Tools)

A TCMT110204-MK4 WKK10S indexable insert engineered for productive turning and boring of cast iron components in demanding industrial machining environments.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated for high wear resistance
• Optimised MK4 chipformer for reliable chip control
• Triangle 60° shape, 0.4 mm corner radius

Increase throughput with predictable tool life and chip control

The coated carbide grade delivers a clear productivity benefit: Tiger·tec Silver combined with the WKK10S substrate offers improved wear resistance specifically tuned for abrasive cast-iron materials. The MK4 chipbreaker shapes short, brittle chips consistently, reducing interruptions from chip jams and enabling uninterrupted production cycles. This results in fewer tool changes and a lower cost per component, while maintaining surface quality and dimensional stability in serial machining.

Precise machining results with geometry tuned to ferrous cast materials

The triangular 60° insert geometry and a 0.4 mm corner radius give a balance between strength and edge definition, which is particularly advantageous when machining grey and nodular cast irons. The moderate rake and 7° free angle support stable cutting forces and predictable tool behaviour. For process planners, this means reproducible tool offsets and stable cycle times, even when encountering varying casting grades or interrupted cuts.

Practical advantages for workshop integration and tool management

The insert’s format (designation TCMT110204-MK4 WKK10S) fits common toolholders and tool management systems used in turning centres, simplifying inventory and tool-change routines. The optimised chip control lowers the need for complex chip evacuation setups, while the robust coating reduces edge degradation under high-abrasion conditions. For operations seeking rapid ramp-up and consistent output, this combination supports lean workflows and reliable daily performance.

Application guidance and selection rationale

Designed primarily for cast-iron machining, the WKK10S grade is matched to the specific wear mechanisms of these materials: abrasive wear and frequent short-chip formation. When replacing uncoated or general-purpose grades, expect improved life and surface integrity on typical workpiece geometries. For mixed-material cells or non-cast-iron tasks, consult technical documentation to compare grades; the current specification is optimised for cast iron as the principal application.
