WOEX06T304-E57 WSP45G Trigon 80° indexable insert for drilling/boring — Walter Tools, Tiger‑tec Gold, 0.4 mm corner radius

The WOEX06T304-E57 WSP45G is a Trigon 80° indexable insert designed for drilling and boring tasks, engineered to deliver stable cutting-edge performance across steel, stainless steel and high-temperature alloys.

• Tiger‑tec Gold PVD-coated grade WSP45G
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable engagement
• Versatile for steel, stainless and superalloys
• 0.4 mm corner radius and T3 thickness

Reliable wear resistance for longer tool life

The Tiger‑tec Gold PVD-coated grade provides a wear-resistant cutting surface that supports prolonged cutting cycles. With the WSP45G composition, the coating and substrate pairing is optimised to reduce abrasive and adhesive wear, which translates into fewer index changes and improved process stability. The result is a measurable increase in uptime and predictable tool performance in repetitive drilling and boring operations.

Broad material capability reduces tool inventory

This insert is designed for the ISO material groups P / M / S, meaning applicability to steel, stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys (including titanium alloys). The versatile grade helps avoid frequent tool swaps between materials, supporting leaner tool inventories and simplified process planning. For workshops that machine mixed batches, the capability to handle varied workpiece materials increases throughput while maintaining surface quality and dimensional consistency.

Geometry optimised for secure engagement and chip control

The Trigon 80° shape, combined with the E57 chipbreaker, gives a confident cutting geometry for plunge and helical drilling as well as light boring passes. The modest 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and positional accuracy, while the T3 plate thickness supports mechanical stability under axial load. Together these features reduce vibration, improve hole quality and assist reliable chip evacuation in confined drilling operations.

Practical benefits for production efficiency

Using a coated, versatile insert like this reduces auxiliary rework and supports consistent cycle times. The robust edge preparation and chip control characteristics contribute to repeatable hole tolerances and improved surface finish, which are particularly valuable in production environments where process reproducibility is essential. The combination of geometry and grade emphasises efficiency and process security rather than one-off performance gains.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for both drilling and light boring operations? Yes. The WOEX06T304-E57 WSP45G Trigon insert is designed for drilling and light boring, with geometry and chip control optimised for stable engagement.

Which workpiece materials are recommended for this grade? The Tiger‑tec Gold WSP45G grade supports ISO groups P, M and S — steel, stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys — making it suitable for mixed‑material production runs.

What is the significance of the 0.4 mm corner radius? A 0.4 mm corner radius gives a compromise between edge strength and positional accuracy, helping the WOEX06T304-E57 WSP45G to resist chipping while maintaining hole quality.

How does the E57 chipbreaker help in machining? The E57 chipbreaker is tuned to generate controlled chips and promote reliable evacuation in drilling cycles, which reduces interruptions and improves surface finish for the insert.

Can this insert be used in high‑temperature alloys like titanium? Yes. The WSP45G grade and Tiger‑tec Gold coating are formulated to cope with the heat and low thermal conductivity of superalloys and titanium, supporting cutting‑edge stability.
