WOEX040304-E57 WKP25S drill/counterbore indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The WOEX040304-E57 WKP25S is an indexable insert engineered for drilling and counterboring operations, optimised for use in steel and cast iron applications.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high wear resistance
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable entry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for consistent edge strength
• Suited for steel (P) and cast iron (K)

Increase uptime through advanced coating and grade selection

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP25S grade delivers measurable improvements in tool life and process stability. The specialised coating reduces abrasive wear during prolonged contact with workpiece material, which means fewer index changes and longer uninterrupted production runs. For customers seeking predictable performance, this insert offers improved wear resistance and consistent edge retention, translating into reduced machine downtime and lower tooling consumption per component.

Geometry that improves entry behaviour and chip control

The Trigon 80° plate form with its optimised clearance angles gives a stable cutting engagement and reduces tendency to pull or chatter on entry. Paired with the chipbreaker E57, the design promotes controlled fragmentation and evacuation of swarf, particularly important when machining interrupted or deeper holes. Improved chip control reduces the risk of recutting and helps maintain surface quality, so machining cycles run more reliably and component tolerances remain reproducible.

Suitable for typical steel and cast iron machining tasks

Designed according to the recommendations of ISO material groups, this insert is rated for steel (P) and cast iron (K). The grades and geometry address the typical heat generation and chip forms encountered in these materials: steels require management of long, ductile swarf and thermal load, while cast irons demand abrasion resistance and the ability to break short, brittle chips. This insert supports both scenarios, allowing a single indexable solution across mixed production batches and simplifying inventory management.

Practical benefits for workshop integration

With a compact 04 plate size and a nominal thickness 03, the insert fits common drill and counterbore toolholders that accept this designation, enabling straightforward retrofitting into existing tooling systems. The 0.4 mm corner radius balances toughness and cutting precision for repeated operations, enhancing reliability and repeatability in series production. Overall, the design reduces the number of insert variants required, supporting leaner tooling stocks and faster set-up times.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WOEX040304-E57 WKP25S is specified for steel (P) and cast iron (K) according to ISO groupings, making it suitable for typical turning and drilling tasks in these materials.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating benefit machining?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WKP25S grade improves abrasion resistance and thermal stability, which extends tool life and provides more consistent machining results over longer cycles.

What role does the Trigon 80° form play in performance?
The Trigon 80° geometry improves entry stability and load distribution, helping to reduce vibration and support stable chip formation during drilling or counterboring.

Is the chipbreaker E57 suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the chipbreaker E57 is designed to promote reliable chip fragmentation and evacuation, which is advantageous in interrupted cuts and when working with materials that produce short or segmented chips.

Can this insert be used in existing toolholders with standard insert seats?
The insert follows standard designation dimensions (size 04, thickness 03, Trigon 80°), so it is compatible with toolholders designed for this insert family; verify holder compatibility before use.
