WOEX120608-E57 WKP35S drill/reaming indexable insert – Walter Tools, Tiger‑tec Silver, Trigon 80°

The WOEX120608-E57 WKP35S is a trigon‑shaped indexable insert for drilling and reaming operations, optimised for machining steel and cast iron in industrial production environments.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade WKP35S
• Suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K) machining
• Trigon 80° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Chipbreaker E57 for controlled chip formation

Enhanced coating for extended performance and predictable wear

The Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP35S coated carbide composition provide a decisive improvement in wear resistance and thermal stability compared with uncoated grades. This results in a longer effective tool life under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of steel and cast iron machining. By combining a wear‑resistant surface layer with a substrate optimised for toughness, the insert maintains edge integrity during interrupted cuts and high chip‑load cycles. The net effect is reduced tool changes, fewer unexpected stoppages and a more predictable production rhythm — essential for lean manufacturing and uptime targets.

Geometry designed for reliable chip control and surface quality

The trigon 80° geometry and the integrated E57 chipbreaker ensure consistent chip formation and evacuation during drilling and boring operations. The 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and finish quality: larger radii support edge life, while the trigon form gives stability in radial engagement. These geometry choices translate into measurable benefits — improved process security, reduced rework and better dimensional consistency for series production. For shops progressing from general‑purpose inserts, this geometry helps achieve tighter tolerances without extensive process re‑engineering.

Application advantages and integration into production

Intended for steels (ISO group P) and cast irons (ISO group K), the insert is suited to batch and continuous processes where repeatability and tool life are priorities. The coated grade and chipbreaker combination support operations at moderate to elevated cutting speeds with stable chip control, which helps maintain cycle times and reduce coolant dependency in many cases. When integrated into standard cutter bodies, the insert is straightforward to index and replace, allowing maintenance teams to keep downtimes short and documentation simple. For process planning, this means fewer tool variants to manage and more consistent throughput across machining centres.
