WNMG060408-MW5 WKK10S Trigon 80° turning insert – Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

A WNMG060408-MW5 WKK10S turning insert designed for productive machining of cast iron parts, offering stable chip formation and extended tool life in demanding turning operations

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• Optimised for cast iron machining
• Trigon 80° geometry for rigid turning
• MW5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

Higher productivity through geometry matched to cast iron

The Trigon 80° geometry provides a robust cutting edge and improved engagement stability, which reduces chatter on interrupted cuts and heavy cross-sections. Combined with the MW5 chipbreaker, this geometry delivers stable chip formation and predictable machining behaviour when working with abrasive and brittle materials such as cast iron. The result is fewer interrupted cycles for rework and a more efficient production flow, especially in batch or serial turning.

Consistent surface quality and process reliability

The negative 0° rake setting produces a strong cutting edge that resists edge chipping under intermittent loading. The 0.8 mm corner radius contributes to a defined cutting footprint, enabling consistent surface finish and dimensional repeatability. These characteristics make the insert particularly suitable for finishing and semi-finishing passes where dimensional control and component appearance are priorities.

Coating technology that extends tool life

The combination of the WKK10S grade with Tiger·tec Silver coating is engineered to withstand the abrasive wear typical of cast iron turning. The coating reduces flank wear and improves heat resistance, resulting in longer tool life and fewer indexings. For operations where reducing tool-change downtime is important, the coated grade provides a measurable improvement in productivity and overall process economy.

Practical application notes for the workshop

The insert’s Trigon 80° form and stable chip control simplify insert handling and reduce the need for frequent process adjustments. For best results, pair the insert with a rigid toolholder and appropriate cutting parameters for cast iron; moderate cutting speeds and chip-thinning strategies often yield the best compromise between productivity and edge life. The indexable design eases replacement and maintains consistent orientation for reproducible results across multiple components.

FAQ

What materials is this insert optimised for?
The WNMG060408-MW5 WKK10S insert is optimised for cast iron applications; the WKK10S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating address the abrasive wear and chip behaviour typical of these materials.

How does the MW5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MW5 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips and consistent evacuation, improving process security and reducing the risk of built-up edge when turning cast iron with the WNMG060408-MW5 WKK10S insert.

Is the Trigon 80° form suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes. The Trigon 80° geometry provides a stronger cutting edge and greater rigidity, making the insert well suited to interrupted cutting conditions and unstable setups.

What performance gains can be expected with Tiger·tec Silver?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating increases resistance to abrasive wear and heat, extending the tool life of the WKK10S grade and lowering the frequency of indexings in serial production.

Can this insert be used for finishing operations?
The combination of 0.8 mm corner radius and robust geometry delivers consistent surface finish and dimensional control, making the insert a good choice for finishing and semi-finishing passes in cast iron turning.
