Drill Insert’s Geometry Improves Performance in Cast Materials
Walter’s P6005-WKK45C point drill insert is designed for performance and cost-effective drilling of ISO K cast materials.
Walter’s P6005-WKK45C point drill insert is designed for performance and cost-effective drilling of ISO K cast materials. Its high-performance geometry is said to provide maximum productivity in cast iron materials, and a 110-degree prismatic seat for minimal runout and stable positioning. Chamfered corners enhance stability in abrasive conditions and improve resistance to wear. These features increase process reliability, improve machine utilization thanks to reduced tool change, and lower cost of operation, the company says. Color coding eases insert selection and wear detection.
The insert’s coating is designed to increase wear resistance in cast materials with a multi-layer structure for enhanced toughness. This structure provides alternate layers of resistance to hard wear, heat and abrasive. The material also improves shock resistance, the company says.
