WOMX080408-B57 WKP35S Drill/boring indexable insert, Trigon 80° – Walter Tools (Tiger·tec Silver)

The WOMX080408-B57 WKP35S is a precision indexable insert for drilling and boring applications, designed for productive machining of steel and cast iron with a Trigon 80° form and Tiger·tec Silver coating.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for enhanced wear resistance
• WKP35S grade for steel and cast iron
• Trigon 80° form for stable cutting edge
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge strength

Delivering measurable productivity through advanced grade technology

The insert’s core advantage lies in the WKP35S cutting grade combined with the Tiger·tec Silver coating, which together reduce flank and crater wear under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of machining steel and cast iron. Designed according to ISO material groupings P and K, the grade balances toughness and coating hardness so that chipping is minimised and tool life is extended. For shops aiming to increase output without compromising repeatability, this combination translates into fewer index changes and more consistent batch results.

Geometry engineered for process reliability and surface quality

The Trigon 80° plate form provides a stout cutting edge that resists deflection during drilling and boring, while the 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts and varying feed conditions. The B57 chipbreaker is tailored to promote controlled chip formation on both steels and cast irons, reducing the risk of built-up edge and coolant blockage. Tolerance class M and the plate thickness ensure interchangeability and stable seating in standard toolholders, contributing to consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy on workpieces.

Practical guidance for integration and material suitability

This insert is specified for applications where a balance of wear resistance and toughness is required; it performs well on unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as a range of cast irons, per the ISO 513 grouping for P and K materials. The plate size and thickness support common insert pockets for drilling/boring heads; the execution code X indicates the geometry variant. For process planning, expect improved tool life in medium to high cutting speeds compared with uncoated grades, and use coolant strategies that support chip evacuation to leverage the chipbreaker design fully.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WOMX080408-B57 WKP35S insert is designed for steel and cast iron (ISO groups P and K), with the WKP35S grade optimised for those materials.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating improve performance?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating increases wear resistance and thermal stability, enabling longer tool life and more consistent cutting behaviour when machining steels and cast irons.

What does the Trigon 80° form mean for machining stability?
A Trigon 80° plate offers a robust cutting edge that reduces deflection in drilling and boring, improving dimensional accuracy and surface finish under load.

Is the chipbreaker suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the B57 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and, together with the 0.8 mm corner radius, supports interrupted and unstable cutting conditions.

Which tolerance and dimensions ensure compatibility with toolholders?
Tolerance class M, size 08 and thickness 04 correspond to standard insert pockets for many drilling and boring heads, facilitating reliable seating and repeatable positioning.
