XDMT16T3100R-F55 WKP35S milling insert (for steel & cast iron) — Walter Tools

The XDMT16T3100R-F55 WKP35S is a coated carbide milling insert designed for efficient roughing and medium finishing in steel and cast iron applications.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WKP35S
• Optimised for steel and cast iron machining
• 15° clearance angle for stable cutting
• 1 mm corner radius, size 16, chipbreaker F55

Boosted productivity through coated-grade performance

The Tiger·tec Silver WKP35S grade combines a wear-resistant coating with a tough carbide substrate to extend tool life under typical steel and cast iron cutting conditions. This results in more consistent machining cycles and fewer insert changes, which improves overall process throughput. The combination of a dedicated chipbreaker F55 and a coated grade designed for groups P (steel) and K (cast iron) ensures reliable chip control and reduced risk of edge chipping even in interrupted cuts. For planners and production engineers, this translates into predictable tool-change intervals and more stable cycle times.

Geometry and edge design for consistent surface quality

The insert’s 15° clearance angle and 1 mm corner radius support secure cutting engagement and even flank wear, helping to maintain component tolerances throughout a production run. A tolerance class of M and a plate thickness of T3 contribute to dimensional stability and repeatable seating in tool holders. The built-in chipbreaker F55 is engineered to shape and evacuate chips effectively, lowering cutting forces and improving surface finish on cast components and alloyed steels. For users less familiar with insert geometry: the corner radius influences surface finish and strength of the cutting edge, while the clearance angle affects how the tool enters the material and deflects heat.

Application fit and process reliability

Specified as suitable for ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), this insert is intended for a wide range of production environments where dependable performance and good chip formation are required. The combination of a modern coating system and a robust substrate supports both productivity and repeatability, making it appropriate for serial machining as well as job-shop operations that demand flexibility. The design helps to reduce unscheduled downtime and supports consistent part quality, thereby contributing to lower overall production costs and improved customer satisfaction.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is designed for ISO material groups P and K, meaning it is suitable for machining steel and cast iron with the WKP35S grade.

How does the chipbreaker F55 benefit production?
The F55 chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing cutting forces and improving surface finish, particularly in interrupted cuts and mixed-material batches.

What does the 1 mm corner radius mean for component finish?
A 1 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish; it helps to achieve a robust cutting edge while maintaining acceptable surface quality for many general milling tasks.
