CCMT120408-FP6 WPP20G indexable turning insert – Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide, for steel | Walter Tools

The CCMT120408-FP6 WPP20G is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert designed for general steel turning applications, combining a robust coated carbide grade with an FP6 chipbreaker for controlled chips and repeatable cutting performance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP20G
• Optimised FP6 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Rhombic 80° geometry with 0.8 mm corner radius
• 7° relief angle for secure cutting edge engagement

Longer tool life through advanced coating technology

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold technology and the WPP20G grade means the insert is a coated carbide solution optimised for the thermal and mechanical loads typical of steel machining. The coating reduces flank wear and improves adhesion resistance at elevated temperatures, which results in extended tool life and fewer tool changes in production. For operations with repetitive turning tasks, this yields measurable reductions in downtime and tool consumption while preserving dimensional stability.

Reliable chip control for consistent surface finish

Equipped with the FP6 chipbreaker, the insert delivers consistent chip formation across a range of cutting parameters. The Rhombic 80° geometry, together with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° relief angle, stabilises the cutting edge and supports predictable chip evacuation. This stability helps to maintain surface quality and reduces the likelihood of tool pressure variations, supporting higher feed rates where process security and part finish are priorities.

Versatility across common steel grades

Formulated for the P material group, the grade suits unalloyed and alloyed steels encountered in general machining. The specification covers wear-resistant to universal and tougher steel conditions, so fewer grade changes are required when switching between component families. By choosing this insert, shops benefit from a balance of toughness and wear resistance that supports both medium and demanding cutting operations without frequent requalification of tooling.

Predictable planning and straightforward integration

The CCMT-style geometry in a size 12 format and plate thickness 04 fits standard toolholders and makes tool planning straightforward. The tolerance class M supports repeatable seating and clamping accuracy, simplifying inventory and reducing setup time. With this form factor and the Tiger·tec Gold performance, procurement and process engineers can standardise on a single insert family to cover a wide range of turning tasks while maintaining stable cycle times.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
This insert is specified for the P group and is suitable for machining unalloyed and alloyed steel; the WPP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating are optimised for steel applications.

What advantage does the FP6 chipbreaker offer?
The FP6 chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving process security and supporting consistent surface finish during turning with the CCMT geometry.

How does the Rhombic 80° shape affect application choice?
The Rhombic 80° (CCMT) shape balances strength and accessibility for general turning operations, offering a good compromise between tool rigidity and approach angle for shoulder and longitudinal turning.

Is this insert compatible with standard CCMT toolholders?
Yes, the CCMT120408 form and size 12 specification match standard CCMT toolholder interfaces, enabling straightforward integration into existing tool assemblies.
