WOMX120608-D57 WSP45G – Drilling/boring indexable insert, Trigon 80°, Tiger·tec Gold, Walter Tools

The WOMX120608-D57 WSP45G is an indexable insert designed for drilling and boring that delivers stable cutting-edge performance across steel, stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for wear resistance
• Trigon 80° geometry for secure positioning
• Suitable for steel, stainless steel and superalloys
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for robust cutting edge

Consistent performance for mixed-material machining

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with a coated carbide substrate gives this insert consistent wear behaviour when machining a range of materials. Engineered for the typical stresses encountered when cutting steel and stainless steel, the grade supports steady chip formation and reduces the risk of edge build-up. For components where heat and toughness vary across the workpiece, the insert’s balance of hardness and toughness helps maintain process stability and predictable tool life, which in turn supports efficient production planning and reduced tool-change frequency.

Geometry that enhances stability and accuracy

With a Trigon 80° shape and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert provides robust edge support and positive seating in indexable toolholders, improving rotational and axial stability during drilling and boring operations. The D57 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip flow, lowering the likelihood of clogging in small-diameter holes and enhancing surface integrity. These geometric choices translate into fewer rejects and less rework, making the insert a practical option for demanding production environments where dimensional accuracy and repeatability matter.

Versatility across demanding alloys and applications

The WSP45G grade is a PVD-coated carbide developed to handle a varied material spectrum (P/M/S), including heat-resistant superalloys and titanium where cutting temperatures and tool stress are elevated. The material compatibility is a direct asset for mixed-series production or job shops that must process both standard steels and more challenging alloys without frequent tool changes. The insert’s design supports drilling and boring cycles where consistent chip control and edge life are essential to maintaining throughput and component quality.

Application-focused benefits and operational considerations

Because the insert is optimised for stable cutting and reliable edge life, it suits medium- to high-feed operations and serial production where uptime and predictable results are priorities. The combination of coating technology and geometry reduces the need for aggressive cutting parameter reductions, enabling shops to retain competitive cycle times while protecting the cutting edge. For tooling setups, ensure toolholder compatibility with Trigon 80° inserts and select cutting data that reflects the processed material group to maximise the insert’s performance.
