WNMG100608-MK5 WKK10S — Trigon 80° indexable insert for cast iron (Walter Tools)

A WNMG100608-MK5 WKK10S indexable turning insert engineered for efficient, repeatable machining of cast iron in a Trigon 80° form.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for wear resistance
• Grade WKK10S, optimised for cast iron
• Trigon 80° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• MK5 chipbreaker for controlled short chips

High-performance turning for abrasive cast iron work

The combination of Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WKK10S grade provides a robust solution for abrasive cast iron. The insert’s coated-carbide construction ensures sustained wear resistance, which reduces the need for frequent index changes and helps keep machining cycles predictable. For operations where broken, short chips dominate, this grade is tuned to resist flank wear and abrasion, offering measurable improvements in process stability and tool life compared with uncoated alternatives.

Geometry that secures surface quality and dimensional consistency

The Trigon 80° form and 0.8 mm corner radius deliver a balance between edge strength and cutting detail. The 0° clearance (negative rake) increases edge stability during interrupted cuts and heavy engagement, while the MK5 chipbreaker promotes stable chip control, reducing the risk of built-up edge and mating-surface damage. Together, these features translate into consistent surface finish and repeatable part tolerances in series production settings.

Cost-effective process reliability and straightforward tool integration

Designed for productive turning of cast iron, the insert supports high process reliability through predictable wear patterns and effective chip formation. The compatibility with standard WNMG toolholders means minimal adjustments to existing tooling setups. By reducing unscheduled tool changes and improving cycle uptime, this solution contributes to a favourable cost-per-part metric while keeping setup complexity low for shopfloor teams.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The WNMG100608-MK5 WKK10S insert is optimised for cast iron applications (ISO group K) and performs well where short, brittle chips are produced.

How does the MK5 chipbreaker affect production?
The MK5 chipbreaker promotes short, controlled chips, improving swarf evacuation and reducing interruptions caused by long, entangling chips when using the WNMG100608-MK5 WKK10S insert.

Is the negative 0° clearance suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes. The 0° clearance increases edge stability during interrupted or heavy cuts, making the insert a robust choice for challenging cast iron turning tasks.

Can this insert be used in standard WNMG toolholders?
The WNMG100608-MK5 WKK10S follows standard WNMG geometry and fits common toolholders designed for WNMG inserts, allowing straightforward replacement and integration.

What advantage does Tiger·tec Silver offer?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, extending effective tool life when machining abrasive cast iron materials.
