CCMT120408-FP4 WPP20G turning insert — rhombic 80° with Tiger·tec Gold by Walter Tools

The CCMT120408-FP4 WPP20G is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert for steel machining, featuring a coated carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family and an FP4 chipbreaker for stable chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade
• Universal WPP20G for steel machining
• FP4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 80° shape, 0.8 mm corner radius

Stable chip control for uninterrupted production

The rhombic 80° geometry combined with the FP4 chipbreaker delivers predictable and compact chip formation during a wide range of steel turning operations. This stability reduces the risk of chip tangling and allows higher process consistency, which is especially valuable in serial production. The moderate 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and finishing capability, so the insert supports both finishing and light roughing without frequent index changes.

Coating and grade that extend effective tool life

The coated carbide grade WPP20G from the Tiger·tec Gold series is optimised for machining steels (ISO group P), offering wear resistance and consistent performance across different steel alloys. The multilayer coating improves thermal resistance and protects the carbide substrate, leading to longer usable edge life under typical machining temperatures. As a result, the insert helps reduce downtime for tool changes and supports predictable tool-change intervals, which benefits overall shop-floor efficiency.

Geometry and tolerance for reliable setup and repeatability

The insert’s rhombic form and 7° clearance make it straightforward to seat and orient in standard clamping systems for turning applications. The format CCMT120408 ensures a familiar footprint for existing toolholders while the tolerance class M contributes to reproducible positioning and repeatable part quality. These mechanical characteristics reduce setup time and variation between tool changes, supporting higher first-pass yields and less rework.

Versatility for mixed workshop demands

Designed primarily for steel machining, this turning insert suits a variety of production scenarios—from batch runs to continuous operations—where a compromise between robustness and surface finish is required. The Tiger·tec Gold technology and universal WPP20G grade deliver broad applicability across unalloyed and alloyed steels, allowing consolidation of inventory and fewer grade swaps. Where process security and consistent surface quality are priorities, this insert provides a dependable option.
