WOEX100508-E57 WKP35S drilling/reaming indexable insert — Trigon 80°, Tiger‑tec Silver (Walter Tools)

WOEX100508-E57 WKP35S is a drilling/reaming indexable insert designed for productive holemaking and enlarging operations in steel and cast iron, offering controlled chip formation and stable cutting edges.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable drilling
• Optimised E57 chipbreaker for clean chips
• Suitable for steel and cast iron (P/K)

Boosted productivity with dependable coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP35S grade provides a balance of wear resistance and thermal stability that supports longer tool life under repetitive holemaking cycles. The coated carbide substrate resists abrasive wear commonly encountered when machining cast iron, while the design of the grade mitigates heat-related edge deterioration when cutting various classes of steel. As a result, batch processes benefit from fewer insert changes and more predictable tool-wear behaviour, which in turn supports consistent production throughput and reduced machine downtime.

Geometry that secures repeatable hole quality

The Trigon 80° plate form and the corner radius 0.8 contribute to secure seating in drill bodies and consistent edge engagement during entry and exit. The truncated-trigon outline gives a favourable cutting-edge angle for stable cutting forces and improved runout tolerance, leading to better hole cylindricity and surface finish compared with less rigid geometries. The tolerance class E and plate thickness 05 support precise indexing and repeatable clamping, making the insert suited to series production where dimensional consistency is required.

Chip control and process reliability for mixed-material shops

Equipped with the E57 chipbreaker, this insert promotes controlled chip segmentation during drilling and enlargement, reducing the risk of long, entangling chips and improving evacuation from the hole. The chipbreaker geometry is adapted to the typical chip forms of both P (steel) and K (cast iron) workpiece groups, so machinists experience fewer interruptions for chip clearing and less heat concentration at the cutting edge. The net effect is a more reliable machining cycle and a reduced likelihood of surface damage or rework.

Application scope and practical considerations for tooling planners

Intended primarily for holemaking operations in steel and cast iron, the insert suits production environments that prioritise repeatability and stable cutting conditions. The insert designation WOEX100508-E57 WKP35S identifies the geometry and chipbreaker combination that matches many standard drill and boring-holder systems; selection of appropriate axial and radial depths of cut should follow the machine and holder manufacturer’s recommendations. Where process optimisation is required, choosing the matching insert grade and chip control can significantly reduce the total cost per hole through fewer replacements and consistent part quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WOEX100508-E57 WKP35S insert is formulated for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K) workpiece groups and performs well across typical grades within those ISO categories.

How does the E57 chipbreaker affect holemaking?
The E57 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip segmentation and evacuation during drilling and enlarging operations, which reduces chip entanglement and supports uninterrupted production cycles.

Is the Trigon 80° geometry beneficial for repeatability?
Yes. The Trigon 80° form provides a stable cutting geometry and reliable seating in holders, contributing to repeatable hole quality and improved resistance to runout-related errors.

Which series and grade describe the insert’s wear properties?
This insert belongs to the Tiger‑tec Silver series and uses the WKP35S grade, a coated carbide formulation designed for balanced wear resistance and thermal stability in mixed steel and cast iron applications.
