WNMG060412-MW5 WKK10S turning insert — Trigon 80° with 1.2 mm corner radius, Walter Tools

The WNMG060412-MW5 WKK10S is a trigon 80° indexable insert designed for productive machining of cast iron, optimised for abrasive wear and short, controlled chips.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated for extended life
• Optimised for cast iron machining
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cutting
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust edge

Longer tool life in abrasive cast‑iron applications

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKK10S substrate is tuned to resist the abrasive wear typical of cast iron workpieces. The coated carbide grade balances wear resistance with toughness so that edge life is extended under frequent interruptions and variable cutting conditions. This results in fewer insert changes and more predictable maintenance intervals, improving overall process economy while keeping finish quality consistent — ideal where abrasive castings must be machined reliably, as demonstrated by the WNMG060412‑MW5 designation.

Geometry that delivers stability and surface quality

A trigon‑shaped cutting geometry with an 80° wedge angle provides axial and radial support that reduces chatter and improves dimensional control. The 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts, while the 0° (negative) rake contributes to secure clamping and controlled cutting forces. Together these features produce a stable cutting action that improves surface integrity and repeatability, making the insert suitable where consistent part tolerances are required across batch production.

Efficient chip control for safer, faster cycles

The MW5 chipbreaker is developed to produce short, manageable chips when machining cast iron, reducing the risk of entanglement and promoting safe evacuation. Reliable chip formation lowers tool and machine downtime, supports higher effective cutting speeds and contributes to process stability — a rational advantage where throughput and predictable cycle times matter. Clear chip control also eases handling at secondary operations and reduces manual rework, supporting more efficient shopfloor workflows.

Straightforward integration into existing tool systems

The insert follows the WNMG 06 profile with a plate thickness code 04 and tolerance M, matching many standard turning toolholder systems. This compatibility simplifies stocking and changeover: the format is widely accepted in industry holders and clamping systems, enabling quick replacement and minimal setup time. The grade’s focus on cast‑iron machining and the proven Tiger‑tec Silver technology from Walter Tools combine to offer a cost‑effective solution for series production and jobbing alike.
