WNMG080408-MW5 WKK10S – Indexable turning insert, Trigon 80° (Tiger‑tec Silver) by Walter Tools

The WNMG080408-MW5 WKK10S is an indexable insert designed for productive turning of cast iron components, offering a coated grade tuned for abrasive materials and secure performance in interrupted cuts

• Tiger‑tec Silver for high wear resistance
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cutting
• MW5 chipbreaker optimised for cast iron

Greater process reliability through specialised coating and grade

The combination of Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKK10S grade delivers increased resistance to abrasive wear typical of cast iron machining. Coating technology reduces flank wear and helps maintain a consistent cutting edge under variable conditions, which translates directly into fewer tool changes and more stable production cycles. The dedicated MW5 chipbreaker controls the frequently short, brittle chips from cast materials, reducing the risk of chip packing and supporting uninterrupted machining for higher throughput.

Stable cutting behaviour thanks to robust geometry and edge design

A Trigon 80° insert form provides a rigid cutting face and positive engagement in heavy-duty operations, while the 0° (negative) relief improves edge strength for interrupted cuts and grooving. The 0.8 mm corner radius balances toughness with surface finish capability, making this design suitable when both durability and acceptable part quality are required. Tolerance class M indicates a consistent manufacturing precision that eases indexing and repeatability across series production, supporting predictable tool life and reproducible component accuracy.

Tangible productivity benefits and straightforward integration

Using an insert tailored to cast iron leads to measurable improvements: less unplanned downtime, steady surface quality and simplified tool management. The plate’s configuration and MW5 chip control reduce secondary operations related to chip handling, while the coated grade reduces the frequency of regrinds or replacements. For operations seeking dependable results with minimal process variation, this insert offers a balance of wear resistance, mechanical strength and practical chip breaking that supports efficient workflows and consistent output.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The WNMG080408-MW5 WKK10S is specifically formulated for machining cast iron, with the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and MW5 chipbreaker tuned to abrasive, brittle chip behaviour.

How does the Trigon 80° shape affect cutting performance?
The Trigon 80° geometry increases cutting-edge stiffness and stability, which supports heavy cuts and interrupted machining while maintaining consistent component tolerances.

What benefit does the 0.8 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.8 mm corner radius improves edge robustness for longer tool life while still producing acceptable surface finishes, balancing durability with part quality.

Is the insert suited to interrupted cuts?
Yes, the 0° (negative) relief and the sturdy insert form make it well suited to interrupted cuts and applications with variable engagement.

Does the WKK10S grade require special coolant or cutting parameters?
No special coolant is mandated by the grade itself; recommended cutting data should be selected based on the specific cast iron grade and machine capability for optimal tool life and chip control.
