WOEX05T304-E57 WKP25S drilling/spot-boring insert — Trigon 80°, 0.4 mm radius (Walter Tools)

The WOEX05T304-E57 WKP25S is a Trigon 80° drilling and spot-boring insert engineered for high-process reliability when machining steel and cast iron.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WKP25S
• Optimised for steel and cast iron machining
• Trigon 80° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Suitable for drilling and spot-boring operations

Consistent cutting performance through advanced coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP25S coated carbide grade provides a balance of wear resistance and thermal stability that supports prolonged cutting intervals. This engineered surface reduces adhesive wear on edges and helps maintain dimensional accuracy during cyclic drilling tasks. For production environments where repeatability matters, the coated substrate contributes to fewer regrinds and more consistent component tolerances.

Geometry tailored to reliable entry and chip control

The Trigon 80° form with a 0.4 mm corner radius offers a robust cutting edge for the demands of drilling and spot-boring; the geometry promotes stable entry, controlled cutting forces and reduced vibration. The insert thickness T3 and the trigon profile help to distribute cutting loads evenly, which extends edge life and mitigates the risk of premature chipping in interrupted cuts. These design choices translate into lower scrap rates and more predictable cycle times.

Chip management and material adaptability to shorten setup time

Equipped with the E57 chipbreaker and designed for ISO groups P and K, this insert improves chip formation for both steel and cast iron, reducing the need for complex coolant strategies or special fixtures. Better chip control reduces the likelihood of recutting and facilitates higher feed rates where the machine and holder permit. For workshops aiming to streamline setups, this versatility limits tool changes and shortens overall process preparation.

Productivity gains through stable tool life and predictable results

Integrating an insert with a stable grade and a proven coating technology supports higher uptime and consistent surface results. The robust edge geometry and the Tiger·tec Silver technology combine to deliver repeatable performance across series production, making the component well suited to batch and single-piece workflows where quality and throughput matter. Choosing a matched insert grade reduces trial-and-error and helps to standardise machining parameters across similar jobs.
