XDMT16T3100R-F55 WKP25S Fräswendeschneidplatte for steel and cast iron — Walter Tools

XDMT16T3100R-F55 WKP25S is a precision milling insert designed for efficient machining of steel and cast iron in production environments

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• WKP25S grade optimised for P and K materials
• 15° clearance angle for stable cutting geometry
• 1 mm corner radius for robust edge strength

Consistent edge life through advanced coating technology

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP25S substrate produces a wear-resistant surface that reduces flank and crater wear under typical workpiece temperatures. This results in longer tool life and fewer insert changes, which supports uninterrupted production cycles. The coated carbide technology stabilises the cutting edge and mitigates adhesive wear mechanisms common when machining unalloyed and alloyed steel.

Predictable chip formation and better surface finishes

The F55 chipbreaker geometry has been developed to manage the characteristic chips of steels and cast irons under a range of cutting conditions. By controlling chip flow and breakage, the insert reduces the risk of re-cutting chips and improves process security. The result is a more consistent surface quality and reduced downstream cleaning or rework — an advantage when repeatability and finish are critical.

Robust geometry for heavy-duty milling operations

The insert’s 1 mm corner radius and 15° clearance angle deliver a balance between edge strength and cutting stability. The modest corner radius absorbs intermittent loads and supports roughing operations, while the clearance angle helps maintain a defined cutting point to reduce rubbing. The T3 plate thickness and M tolerance class ensure compatibility with standard toolholders and predictable runout behaviour in serial production.

Broad material coverage and application clarity

Designed for the ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the grade WKP25S is suitable for a variety of workpiece alloys, offering flexibility across mixed-production lots. The insert’s specification supports both finishing and semi-finishing tasks depending on cutting parameters and machine stability. For users less familiar with carbide grades: the designation indicates a coated hardmetal intended for balanced wear resistance and toughness.

Practical fit for shop-floor logistics and planning

With the standardised designation and compatible geometry, the insert integrates into common Walter Tools tool systems and can be stocked efficiently for predictable replenishment. The clear identification and series marking simplify process documentation and tool management. Where cutting data optimisation is required, the combination of grade, chipbreaker and geometry enables straightforward parameter tuning to balance productivity and tool life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The XDMT16T3100R-F55 WKP25S insert from Walter Tools is suitable for ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), offering balanced performance across unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as typical cast iron grades.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating help performance?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating improves wear resistance and heat management on the cutting edge, which extends service life of the WKP25S grade under the elevated temperatures common when machining steel and cast iron.

What role does the F55 chipbreaker play in machining?
The F55 chipbreaker shapes and breaks chips reliably during milling, reducing the chance of long stringy chips and improving surface finish; this makes tool management and swarf handling easier in serial production.
