DCGT070204-MP4 WPP20G turning insert for steel, Tiger·tec Gold – Walter Tools

DCGT070204-MP4 WPP20G is a 55° rhombic indexable turning insert with a 0.4 mm corner radius and Tiger·tec Gold technology, engineered for efficient and repeatable steel turning operations.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WPP20G grade optimised for steel machining
• MP4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 55° rhombus form with 0.4 mm corner radius

Maximise productivity with controlled chip formation and wear resistance

The primary advantage of the WPP20G grade lies in its balance between wear resistance and toughness, achieved through the Tiger·tec Gold coating on a coated cemented carbide substrate. The MP4 chipbreaker is designed to shape chips reliably during typical steel turning, reducing the risk of built-up edge and ensuring steady cutting forces. For production environments this means fewer unplanned tool changes and improved cycle-time stability, which in turn supports predictable manufacturing throughput and lower per-part tooling costs.

Precision geometry that improves surface finish and repeatability

A 55° rhombus profile combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle gives this insert defined contact conditions that favour stable cutting and consistent surface quality on turned components. The geometry supports small- to medium-depth cuts where control of the cutting edge engagement is critical; the result is repeatable diameters and reduced rework. Clear geometry data allows straightforward calculation of feed and depth settings, simplifying integration into existing turning cycles and CAM strategies.

Broad applicability for steel machining and process flexibility

Classified for ISO group P, the insert is intended for unalloyed and alloyed steel grades encountered in general engineering and production workshops. The combination of the grade and chip control makes this insert suitable across a spectrum of turning tasks, from roughing passes that require robustness to finishing operations that demand surface integrity. The flexibility inherent in the grade supports consolidated tool inventories and simplifies tool selection for mixed-series production.

Built for production: consistent performance and reduced downtime

The coated construction and stable chip control contribute to longer edge life and repeatable tool performance, which benefits throughput, scheduling and quality assurance. The insert’s standardised designation aids quick identification for reordering and process documentation, while the robust grade minimises variation between inserts in a batch. In short, the geometry and material pairing provide a reliable basis for continuous operation and consistent part quality in steel turning applications.
