XDGT16T3100R-D57 WKP35S Milling insert — Tiger·tec Silver, for Stahl and cast iron | Walter Tools

The XDGT16T3100R-D57 WKP35S is a coated milling insert designed for high-productivity roughing and semi-finishing operations in Stahl and cast iron, combining a wear-resistant grade with a geometry optimised for predictable chip control.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long life
• Suitable for Stahl and cast iron machining
• 15° clearance angle for stable cutting
• R1 corner radius with D57 chipbreaker

Higher throughput thanks to proven coating technology

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP35S grade delivers improved wear resistance under typical milling conditions. Coating technology reduces adhesive and abrasive wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings. This effect is especially relevant in interrupted cuts or when batch sizes require consistent performance; the result is measurable productivity gains and a lower cost per component because the insert sustains cutting forces more reliably.

Predictable surface quality and repeatable tool life

A carefully engineered chipbreaker and an R1 corner radius produce consistent chips and stable cutting forces, which helps to maintain surface finish from the first to the last workpiece. The 15° clearance angle contributes to reduced rubbing and stable engagement, so dimensional repeatability is supported across runs. These geometric choices make the insert a dependable option when predictable results and process stability are priorities.

Versatile use across Stahl and cast iron applications

The grade is specified for P and K groups, meaning it is suited to both Stahl (unalloyed and alloyed steels) and cast iron workpieces. Coated carbide substrate properties enable handling of the heat and chip formation typical of Stahl machining, while the chipbreaker design copes with the often short, brittle chips of cast iron. This versatility reduces tooling complexity and simplifies inventory for shops processing mixed batches.

Geometry and specification that aid process control

Key technical choices such as the tolerance class G, thickness T3, and the D57 chipbreaker aim to give machine shops straightforward process set-up and consistent clamping results. The insert’s nominal size (16 mm) and the combination of coating and grade permit a balance between material removal rate and edge stability. When matched with appropriate cutter bodies, the insert supports robust milling strategies with clear specification data for programming and planning.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The XDGT16T3100R-D57 WKP35S insert is designed for machining Stahl and cast iron, with the WKP35S grade optimised for coated-carbide performance in those ISO groups.

What are the key geometry values to consider for setup?
Note the 15° clearance angle, 1 mm corner radius (R1) and T3 thickness; these parameters affect cutter engagement and should be matched to the cutter body and machining strategy.

Which coating is used and what advantage does it offer?
The insert uses the Tiger·tec Silver coating, which improves wear resistance and promotes consistent cutting performance across extended tool life.

Is this insert suitable for interrupted cuts and heavy milling?
Yes — the combination of WKP35S grade and the D57 chipbreaker supports robust performance in interrupted and demanding milling tasks.

Can the insert be used in mixed production of Stahl and cast iron?
The insert’s specification targets both P and K material groups, making it a practical choice where both Stahl and cast iron components are produced.
