CCMT120408-RP4 WPP30G – Rhombic 80° indexable insert for steel turning, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

CCMT120408-RP4 WPP30G is a coated carbide turning insert designed for reliable machining of steel components in general turning and boring operations

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended lifetime
• RP4 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Rhombic 80° geometry for versatile turning
• Suitable for steel machining, free angle 7°

Greater productivity through a durable coating

The Tiger·tec Gold coating on this insert provides a combination of thermal resistance and wear protection that translates into longer service intervals and fewer tool changes. By selecting a coated carbide grade optimised for steel, the user benefits from improved edge stability under the temperatures typically encountered in turning operations. The result is a measurable increase in uptime and a reduction in unplanned interruptions, particularly in medium-duty production where balanced wear resistance and toughness are critical.

Safer, more predictable chip control for consistent parts

The RP4 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips when cutting steels, reducing the risk of chip entanglement and facilitating automated chip evacuation. With the rhombic 80° form and a 7° relief angle, the geometry supports a stable contact area that helps maintain surface quality across a range of feeds. This combination improves process reliability and makes cycle times more predictable, supporting quality assurance in both batch and single-piece production.

Versatility for a wide range of steel grades

The WPP30G grade is aimed at steel machining and offers a balance between wear resistance and toughness that suits many common steel types. Its 0.8 mm corner radius and medium tolerance class (M) allow for both finishing and moderate roughing without excessive compromise in surface finish. The insert’s form and grade provide a practical option for workshops that require flexibility across different turning tasks without frequent tool changes, supporting leaner tool inventories.

Practical integration and handling benefits

The CCMT120408-RP4 is produced in the conventional rhombic style that fits standard toolholders, enabling straightforward retrofit into existing turning setups. The insert designation and compact dimensions simplify inventory management and identification for purchasing and planning departments. Because the grade is specifically tuned for steel applications, tool-life expectations can be estimated more reliably, assisting in process planning and cost-per-part calculations for production engineering teams.

FAQ

What types of steel is this insert optimised for?
The WPP30G grade is formulated for general steel machining and performs well on a wide range of unalloyed and alloyed steels typical in turning applications; the CCMT120408-RP4 WPP30G offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for many common grades.

Can this insert be used for finishing and roughing?
Yes, the combination of a 0.8 mm corner radius and the Tiger·tec Gold coating allows the insert to be applied to finishing and moderate roughing operations, delivering consistent surface quality when cutting steel.

How does the RP4 chipbreaker improve the process?
The RP4 chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation that reduces long, stringy chips and facilitates safer chip evacuation, improving process reliability and reducing manual chip handling in turning operations.

Is the geometry compatible with standard holders?
The rhombic 80° shape and standard CCMT designation make the insert compatible with conventional turning toolholders designed for CCMT-style inserts.

Why choose the Tiger·tec Gold grade from Walter Tools?
Tiger·tec Gold is engineered for thermal stability and wear resistance in steel turning; when paired with the RP4 chipbreaker and the CCMT geometry, it yields predictable tool life and steady productivity in workshop environments.
