TCMW16T308-RK6 WKK10S – indexable insert (triangle 60°, 0.8 mm) by Walter Tools

TCMW16T308-RK6 WKK10S is an indexable turning insert designed for efficient machining of cast iron, featuring the Tiger·tec Silver coating technology and an RK6 chipbreaker.

• Triangle 60° geometry, three cutting edges
• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WKK10S
• RK6 chipbreaker for consistent cast iron chips

Consistent performance for cast iron machining

The TCMW16T308-RK6 WKK10S insert is specified for abrasive cast-iron applications and benefits from the Tiger·tec Silver coating technology, which delivers enhanced resistance to abrasive wear. The coated-carbide substrate is tailored to handle the short, brittle chips typical of cast iron; this yields stable chip formation and extends tool life compared with uncoated grades. The WKK10S grade combines wear resistance with sufficient toughness to maintain a secure cutting edge under interrupted cuts, supporting higher material removal rates and more predictable tool-change intervals—advantages that contribute directly to reduced production costs and improved machine uptime.

Secure geometry to reduce set-up time and improve surface integrity

A triangular 60° form gives three usable cutting edges per insert and a compact seating face for secure clamping. The 0.8 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and achievable surface finish: larger radii increase robustness for heavy cuts, while the selected radius here supports general turning and semi-finishing in cast iron. The tolerance class M ensures consistent fit in standard toolholders, reducing rework during set-up and simplifying indexing procedures. For workshops with mixed skill levels, the geometry and nominal dimensions provide predictable behaviour, easing tool selection and repeatability of results.

Seamless integration and process reliability

Sized as 16 mm with a T3 thickness code and equipped with the RK6 chipbreaker, the insert integrates with common triangular inserts in industry-standard toolholders, enabling quick replacement and minimal inventory complexity. The RK6 chipbreaker is optimised for breaking short chips, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of entanglement on cast-iron swarf; this directly contributes to safer, cleaner machining environments and lower secondary handling. The combination of coated carbide, controlled geometry and a compact form factor supports stable cutting parameters and consistent component quality across production batches.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
This insert is designed primarily for cast iron machining; the WKK10S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating are tuned for abrasive cast-iron behaviour and short, brittle chips.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular 60° design provides three cutting edges per insert, enabling economical indexing and reduced tool costs over time.

What does the RK6 chipbreaker do?
The RK6 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips in cast-iron machining, improving chip evacuation and reducing the risk of chip entanglement at the work area.

Which dimensions are relevant for holder compatibility?
Key dimensions are the insert size (16 mm), the thickness code T3, the triangle 60° form and the 0.8 mm corner radius; these parameters determine compatibility with standard triangular toolholders.

Is the coating suitable for interrupted cuts and high abrasion?
Yes. The Tiger·tec Silver coated-carbide construction of the WKK10S grade provides abrasion resistance and edge stability suitable for interrupted cuts common in cast-iron applications.
