WOMX100508-D57 WKP25S — indexable insert for drilling and boring, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The WOMX100508-D57 WKP25S is a Trigon 80° indexable insert designed for drilling and boring tasks in steel and cast iron, offering a coated-carbide grade optimised for reliable chip formation and productive machining.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for durability
• WKP25S grade for steel and cast iron
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cutting
• D57 chipbreaker for secure chip control

Consistent performance through advanced coating and grade

The insert features the Tiger·tec Silver coating combined with the WKP25S grade, a coated carbide developed to balance wear resistance and toughness. This combination reduces flank wear under typical cutting temperatures when machining unalloyed and alloyed steel as well as cast iron, resulting in a lower tool-change frequency and more predictable cycle times. The material-specific design of the grade supports stable chip formation, which translates into cleaner holes and fewer secondary operations.

Geometry and chip control that support productivity

The Trigon 80° form with a 0.8 mm corner radius and the D57 chipbreaker deliver mechanical strength at the cutting edge and controlled chip segmentation during interrupted cuts. The triangular shape increases the available cutting edges per insert and the modest corner radius balances edge robustness with achievable surface finish. These geometry choices improve process reliability and allow higher feeds in many drilling and boring cycles without compromising hole tolerance or surface quality.

Integration into production and machining advice

Designed for practical workshop and shopfloor use, the insert suits standard drilling and boring toolholders compatible with Trigon 80° inserts and is catalogue-specified for steel and cast iron applications. When integrating into a process, pairing the insert with appropriate coolant strategies and optimised cutting data ensures the best balance of tool life and cycle time. For tailored cutting parameters or to confirm fitment with existing toolholders, Metav Werkzeuge provides application guidance to adapt feeds and speeds to the required hole tolerance and material batch.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WOMX100508-D57 WKP25S insert is specified for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K), reflecting the grade design and coating choice.

How does the Trigon 80° geometry benefit drilling and boring?
The Trigon 80° form provides multiple cutting edges per insert and, together with the D57 chipbreaker, enhances edge strength and chip control in interrupted and continuous cuts.

What does the WKP25S grade offer compared with standard grades?
WKP25S, within the Tiger·tec Silver family, delivers a compromise of wear resistance and toughness to extend life in typical steel and cast iron applications while maintaining consistent chip formation.

Is this insert suitable for high-feed drilling operations?
The insert’s geometry and chipbreaker support increased feeds in many drilling cycles, but achievable parameters depend on machine rigidity and holder compatibility; fine-tuning is recommended.

How should the corner radius influence application choice?
A 0.8 mm corner radius gives a robust cutting edge that supports better tool life under load while still allowing acceptable surface finish for many hole tolerances.
