WOEX06T304-E57 WKP25S drilling/bore-enlarging indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver by Walter Tools

WOEX06T304-E57 WKP25S is an indexable insert for drilling and bore enlargement, optimised for machining steel and cast iron in industrial production environments.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high process reliability
• Designed for steel and cast iron machining
• Trigon 80° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Coated carbide grade WKP25S for stable wear

Faster, more consistent material removal with advanced coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP25S coated carbide grade delivers a clear, measurable benefit: improved wear resistance under the typical heat and strain encountered when machining steel and cast iron. This results in longer tool life and fewer insert changes, which increases machine uptime and lowers the effective cost per hole. The coating technology is formulated to manage heat and control built-up edge, translating to more consistent cycle times and predictable production planning.

Geometry that supports precision and stable chip control

The Trigon 80° plate form and its corner radius 0.4 mm are designed to balance cutting-edge strength with favourable chip formation for drilling and bore enlargement applications. The trigon geometry provides a robust cutting edge that resists deflection, while the engineered chipbreaker (E57) promotes short, controllable chips when working with both ferritic steels and grey or ductile cast iron. The result is improved dimensional stability and precision in through-hole and enlargement operations.

Robust design for demanding industrial workflows

Supplied in the 06 size with T3 plate thickness, this insert is configured for operations where repeatability and mechanical stability are crucial. The insert’s tolerances (class E) and sturdy construction support high feed rates and steady axial loads commonly encountered in production drilling. Integrating this insert into a process strategy yields tangible benefits in productivity and process security, with fewer interruptions for insert changes and reduced scrap rates from variability.

Practical benefits for shop-floor decision making

Owing to its suitability for the ISO P and K material groups, the insert is a versatile choice across mixed-production environments. The combination of coated carbide and the Tiger·tec Silver series makes the insert a pragmatic option for operations that require a single grade to cover a range of steels and cast irons. Where setup time and tooling complexity are minimised, throughput increases and quality targets are more readily achieved, supporting both small-batch flexibility and larger-volume runs.

FAQ

Which materials are suitable for this insert?
The WOEX06T304-E57 WKP25S is specified for ISO groups P and K, meaning it is suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K) machining.

What does the Tiger·tec Silver coating improve?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WKP25S grade improves thermal management and wear resistance, enabling more consistent performance and longer tool life in demanding drilling operations.

How does the Trigon 80° form affect machining?
The Trigon 80° form provides a robust cutting edge with good resistance to deflection, supporting precision and stable chip control during bore enlargement and drilling.

What is the significance of the E57 chipbreaker?
The E57 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips when machining steels and cast irons, reducing the risk of tool interference and improving surface quality.

Can this insert be used at higher feed rates?
With its T3 thickness and tolerance class E, the insert is built for mechanical stability under substantial axial loads, permitting higher feed rates where toolholder and machine rigidity allow.
