VBMT110304-FK6 WKK10S – turning indexable insert, FK6 chipbreaker, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The VBMT110304-FK6 WKK10S is a rhombic 35° turning indexable insert engineered for efficient and controlled machining of cast iron components, utilising the Tiger·tec Silver coating technology.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for wear resistance
• Optimised FK6 chipbreaker for cast iron chips
• Rhombic 35° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Stable edge performance and long tool life

Efficient cast iron machining with proven coating technology

The combination of a coated cemented carbide grade and the Tiger·tec Silver technology delivers measurable gains in tool life and process stability when working with abrasive cast materials. The insert’s geometry focuses cutting forces and the FK6 chipbreaker promotes consistent, short chips typical of grey and nodular cast iron, reducing interruptions in automated turning cycles. This translates into fewer tool changes and higher mean-time-between-interventions on production lines.

Precision chip control that protects processes and components

Controlled chip formation is central to uninterrupted production. The FK6 chipbreaker is optimised for the fracture behaviour of cast iron, enabling predictable chip flow and reduced re-cutting of swarf. The rhombic 35° shape assists in achieving stable cutting engagement and reliable seat contact in standard toolholders, while the 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with surface finish requirements, supporting repeatable part tolerances and consistent surface integrity.

Robust edge life and repeatable performance

The cutting grade WKK10S, developed within the Tiger·tec Silver series, emphasises wear resistance and stable edge retention under the typical intermittent cutting conditions encountered with cast iron. The insert’s construction and coating strategy reduce flank wear and crater formation, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy over longer tool life. For production environments seeking dependable, reproducible results, this insert provides a pragmatic balance between economy and performance.

Practical application guidance and compatibility

Designed specifically for machining cast iron (designation K), the insert matches common turning operations where short, brittle chips are expected. The relief angle of 5° and the rhombic geometry permit straightforward implementation in conventional turning toolholders. For process optimisation, pairing this grade with appropriate cutting parameters for cast iron—moderate cutting speeds and adequate feed to encourage chip breakage—will exploit the insert’s strengths in chip control and life expectancy. For special applications or mixed-material batches, consult application data to confirm suitability.
