WNMG060404-MK5 WKK10S indexable turning insert – Tiger‑tec Silver for cast iron by Walter Tools

The WNMG060404-MK5 WKK10S is an indexable turning insert engineered for efficient machining of cast iron, combining a Trigon 80° form with a specialised chipbreaker for controlled chips and high process reliability.

Tiger‑tec Silver coating for wear resistance
Optimised for cast iron machining
Trigon 80° geometry for stable turning
0.4 mm corner radius for edge strength

Longer tool life through optimised coating and grade

The coated WKK10S carbide grade, based on Tiger‑tec Silver technology, is formulated to resist the abrasive wear typical of cast iron machining. The combination of a robust coating and a wear‑resistant substrate results in a slower wear rate and more predictable tool life, which in turn reduces tool changes and machine downtime. For production environments this means improved uptime and a clearer scheduling horizon; the insert’s behaviour under load is engineered to provide consistent performance across a range of interrupted and continuous turning operations.

Reliable chip control and stable cutting performance

The Trigon 80° plate form combined with the MK5 chipbreaker produces short, controllable chips when cutting cast iron, preventing tangled swarf and minimising the risk of tool or workpiece damage. The 0° negative rake (negative clearance) offers a robust cutting edge that tolerates higher radial forces and interrupted cuts, while the 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength for enhanced resistance to chipping. These geometry choices translate into steady surface quality and fewer process interruptions, supporting lean and repeatable turning cycles.

Seamless integration into production and consistent tolerances

Designed as a true indexable solution, the insert fits common WNMG tool holders and benefits from a M tolerance class for interchangeability and reproducible clamping. The plate size and thickness ensure mechanical stability during high‑volume runs, and the geometry supports predictable force vectors for fixture and spindle load planning. Where process optimisation is a priority, this insert assists in standardising parameters across batches, contributing to measurable productivity gains and simplified inventory management for cast iron turning applications.

FAQ

What materials are suitable for this insert?
The WNMG060404-MK5 WKK10S is specified for machining cast iron; the WKK10S grade and Tiger‑tec Silver coating are optimised for abrasive cast materials.

How does the MK5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MK5 chipbreaker on this indexable turning insert produces short, broken chips in cast iron, improving swarf disposal and reducing the risk of chip entanglement during continuous and interrupted cuts.

What advantages does the Trigon 80° form provide?
Trigon 80° geometry offers a stable cutting edge and favourable approach angle for turning, enhancing edge strength and contributing to consistent surface finish with the WKK10S grade.

Is the insert compatible with standard WNMG holders?
Yes, the WNMG060404-MK5 format conforms to standard tool holders for WNMG plates and benefits from an M tolerance class for reproducible seating and clamping.

Why choose the Tiger‑tec Silver series?
Tiger‑tec Silver coating provides improved wear resistance and thermal stability for coated carbide grades like WKK10S, which is particularly beneficial when machining abrasive cast iron materials.
