TCMW16T304-RK6 WKK10S Drilling and turning indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver – Walter Tools

the TCMW16T304-RK6 WKK10S is a triangular indexable insert designed for drilling/boring and turning operations in cast iron, optimised for stable chip formation and prolonged edge life

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for improved wear resistance
• RK6 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Triangle 60° for secure insert clamping
• 0.4 mm corner radius for consistent edge strength

Engineered for high productivity in cast iron components

The TCMW16T304-RK6 WKK10S grade combines Tiger·tec Silver coating with a wear-resistant WKK10S substrate to address the abrasive nature of cast iron workpieces. This combination reduces flank wear and extends effective edge life, which translates into fewer insert changes and improved machine uptime. The result is a measurable boost in process efficiency, especially in serial production where predictable tool life reduces downtime and handling.

Precise chip control and improved surface consistency

The integrated RK6 chipbreaker is shaped to promote short, consistent chips when machining cast iron, avoiding long swarf that can interrupt automated processes. The triangle 60° shape provides stable seating in common toolholders, while the 0.4 mm corner radius supports edge robustness and contributes to a reproducible surface finish. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing and helps maintain consistent cutting forces—key factors for controlled machining and repeatable results.

Stable clamping and multi-operation suitability

With a compact plate size of 16 mm and thickness T3, this insert is suitable for confined setups where rigidity is essential. The design addresses both drilling/boring and turning contexts without compromising stability: the triangular form facilitates easy indexation and replacement, while the coated carbide substrate sustains performance under intermittent cutting loads. The insert’s tolerance class M supports accurate seating and interchangeability in standard tool systems.

Integration into the production workflow and support

The Tiger·tec Silver series is engineered for broad applicability within cast iron machining, reducing the need for multiple specialised grades. That practical versatility simplifies tool inventory and planning for production managers. For implementation, Metav Werkzeuge can advise on compatible toolholders and cutting data to match machine power and cycle requirements. Availability of technical guidance ensures the insert contributes to consistent part quality and process reliability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The insert is formulated for cast iron machining; the WKK10S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating are tuned for abrasive cast materials.

How does the RK6 chipbreaker affect performance?
The RK6 chipbreaker produces short, controlled chips in cast iron, improving process stability and reducing the risk of chip entanglement during drilling and turning.

Can this insert be used for both drilling and turning?
Yes, the geometry and design permit use in drilling/boring and turning applications when mounted in suitable toolholders.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius mean for surface finish?
A 0.4 mm radius increases edge strength and promotes a consistent surface finish while balancing cutting force and edge durability.

Which series does the insert belong to and what is its benefit?
Belonging to the Tiger·tec Silver series, the insert offers enhanced wear resistance and longer effective tool life compared with many uncoated alternatives.
