TNMU160508R-G57 WKP35G — indexable milling insert, Tiger·tec Gold for steel and cast iron — Walter Tools

The TNMU160508R-G57 WKP35G is an indexable milling insert designed for productive metalcutting applications, optimised for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K) with a coated-carbide cutting grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Designed for steel and cast iron machining
• Triangle 60° form with 0.8 mm corner radius

Faster, more consistent production through advanced coating and grade

The Tiger·tec Gold coating paired with the WKP35G cutting grade delivers a tangible improvement in wear resistance and thermal stability compared with uncoated grades. This combination reduces flank and crater wear during high-volume milling, which translates into longer tool life and fewer index changes. For manufacturing environments where cycle-time consistency is critical, the coated carbide technology helps maintain cutting-edge geometry for longer, supporting increased overall productivity and predictable machining windows.

Stable cutting geometry and chip control for dependable surface quality

The triangular 60° form and G57 chipbreaker create a stable cutting process that is particularly suited to the chip characteristics of steel and cast iron. The 0° (negative) relief angle gives a robust cutting edge helpful for interrupted cuts and heavy engagement, while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances strength and surface finish. Together these design choices improve chip breakage and evacuation, which reduces the risk of re-cutting and helps achieve consistent component surfaces with fewer process interruptions.

Clear handling and integration benefits for workshop use

Format and designation codes such as TNMU160508R-G57 indicate compatibility with a wide range of standard triangular milling tool holders and make tool management straightforward. The insert’s profile supports both roughing and semi-finish strategies depending on cutter geometry and cutting data, enabling flexible process planning. The TNMU160508R-G57 WKP35G grade is part of the Tiger·tec Gold series from Walter Tools, offering a recognised balance between economy and machining performance for everyday production needs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is designed for machining steel and cast iron; the WKP35G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating target the typical wear and chip-forming behaviour of these material groups.

How does the G57 chipbreaker affect machining?
The G57 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip fragmenting and evacuation when machining steel and cast iron, improving process stability and helping to protect the cutting edge.

Is the geometry suitable for heavy interruption and roughing?
Yes, the negative 0° relief and the triangular 60° form provide a robust edge for interrupted cuts and demanding engagement typical of roughing operations.

Which designation should be used when reordering or checking compatibility?
Use the full ISO designation TNMU160508R-G57 WKP35G and the SKU to verify holder compatibility and ensure the correct chipbreaker and grade are supplied.
