Walter 6072488 Milling Insert P23696-2.0 WKP25S Carbide

Product Description

The WALTER 6072488 is a solid carbide, CVD-coated triangular milling insert designed for high feed rate milling operations in steel and cast iron applications. Carrying the ANSI and ISO designation P23696-2.0 WKP25S, this double-sided insert features six cutting edges, a positive rake geometry, and a multilayer TiCN/Al2O3/TiCN CVD coating that delivers wear resistance and thermal stability under demanding cutting conditions. The insert measures 0.5330 inches in inscribed circle diameter and 0.2920 inches thick, with a corner radius of 0.0630 inches. It is held in place via a screw-type clamping method and suits right-hand cutting configurations.

This insert is engineered for use in face milling and high feed milling setups on machining centers and turning cells working with steel and cast iron workpieces. It is compatible with the WALTER F4030 cutter series and falls within material grade classifications P25 and K25, making it appropriate for both general steel and cast iron machining. The insert is intended for installation by machinists and tooling technicians operating CNC milling equipment in production or job-shop environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tooling technicians following the cutter body manufacturer torque guidelines for screw-lock insert seats. Ensure the cutter is fully de-energized and the spindle is locked before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for debris or wear before seating a new insert. Use the correct Torx or hex key specified by the cutter body manufacturer to avoid insert seat damage.
