WOEX06T304-E57 WKP35S drill/boring indexable insert by Walter Tools — Trigon 80° with E57 chipbreaker

WOEX06T304-E57 WKP35S is an indexable insert designed for drilling and bore‑enlargement applications in industrial machining, optimised for steel and cast iron workpieces

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated for extended life
• Suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K)
• Trigon 80° form for stable engagement
• Corner radius 0.4 mm for repeatable edges

Consistent cutting performance for steel and cast iron

The combination of the WKP35S grade and Tiger‑tec Silver coating delivers stable wear behaviour when machining unalloyed and alloyed steel as well as cast iron. The coating lowers adhesive tendencies and improves heat resistance, so flank wear develops more predictably and indexable insert life increases. The E57 chipbreaker controls chip formation in both long‑chip and short‑chip conditions, reducing the need for manual intervention and lowering the risk of surface defects.

Geometry that improves tool stability and surface finish

The Trigon 80° shape with a 0.4 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge and reduced radial forces during bore enlargement. This geometry enhances concentricity and helps avoid chatter on small‑diameter drills and reamers, translating into fewer rejects and less rework. The T3 thickness contributes to insert rigidity; when combined with correct clamping and feed parameters, the result is a measurable improvement in dimensional consistency and surface quality.

Practical integration and selection guidance

The insert is supplied in the WOEX06T304‑E57 designation, making it straightforward to match with compatible toolholders. The WKP35S grade is aimed primarily at production environments where reliable repeatability is required across mixed batches of steel and cast iron. For machines running high throughput, this insert supports sustained cutting conditions while offering predictable wear intervals that simplify tool management and reduce downtime.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The WOEX06T304‑E57 WKP35S insert is optimised for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K), benefiting from the Tiger‑tec Silver coating for improved wear resistance.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The E57 chipbreaker shapes chip flow to suit both long and short chip conditions, reducing the risk of clogging and improving surface integrity when using the WOEX06T304‑E57 WKP35S.

Which toolholders are compatible with the insert geometry?
Standard holders designed for trigon 80° indexable inserts and the WOEX06T304 series are compatible; Metav Werkzeuge can advise on the correct holder for specific machine spindles.

Is this insert suitable for high‑speed applications?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP35S grade support elevated cutting speeds in many steel and cast iron operations, subject to appropriate feed and cooling strategies.
