WOMX06T304-D57 WKP25S drilling/bore-enlarging indexable insert — Walter Tools, Trigon 80° (06, r0.4)

The WOMX06T304-D57 WKP25S is a drilling and bore-enlarging indexable cutting insert designed for precision machining of steel and cast iron, combining a hard-wearing coated grade with geometry that favours stability in axial cutting operations.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated grade WKP25S
• Optimised chip control with D57 chipbreaker
• Trigon 80° geometry for stability and reach
• Suitable for steel and cast iron machining

Durable coating and grade for dependable tool life

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP25S coated carbide grade is engineered for wear resistance and consistent edge life in industrial applications. Coated grades reduce flank and crater wear by providing a thermal and chemical barrier between the chip and the substrate; this results in fewer interruptions for insert changes and more predictable production cycles. For operations on steel and cast iron, the selected grade balances toughness and hardness to resist abrasive and adhesive wear while maintaining cutting-edge integrity.

Geometry and chip control that stabilise drilling performance

The Trigon 80° insert form with a corner radius of r0.4 mm and the D57 chipbreaker deliver controlled chip formation and improved hole quality. A trigon geometry increases contact stability in axial operations, reducing vibration during plunge or short-ream passes. The D57 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, segmented chips when machining materials classed as P and K under ISO 513, lowering the risk of long, tangled chips and improving evacuation in deep or confined bores. The plate thickness T3 and tolerance class M ensure repeatable seating and clamping on modern drill bodies, supporting consistent concentricity and surface finish.

Application focus and production advantages

Intended for drilling and bore enlargement on standard CNC drilling heads and multi-spindle machines, this indexable insert offers a practical route to increased throughput and reduced tooling costs. The robust combination of grade and geometry leads to fewer regrinds and predictable tool-change intervals, aiding process planning and inventory management. In addition to performance gains, the insert simplifies grade selection for mixed-production environments where both steel and cast iron components are machined, making it a versatile choice for job shops and production lines alike.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined with this insert?
The WOMX06T304-D57 WKP25S is specified for steel (P) and cast iron (K) according to ISO 513, offering matched cutting behaviour for both groups.

What advantages does the Trigon 80° form provide in drilling?
Trigon 80° geometry improves axial stability and penetration control, helping the insert maintain concentricity and reduce vibration during drilling and bore-enlarging tasks.

How does the D57 chipbreaker influence chip formation?
The D57 chipbreaker promotes short, controlled chips when cutting P and K materials, improving chip evacuation and reducing the chance of chip entanglement in deep bores.

Is the insert suitable for plunge drilling and short boring operations?
Yes, the insert’s Trigon geometry and r0.4 corner radius give the stiffness and edge support required for plunge drilling and short-range bore enlargement.

What does tolerance class M mean for mounting and repeatability?
Tolerance class M indicates a medium tolerance level for dimensional accuracy, supporting consistent seating and repeatable performance when the insert is mounted in compatible toolholders.
