Drehwendeschneidplatte DCGT11T304-FL2 WPP20G – rhombic 55° insert, Tiger‑tec Gold, Walter Tools

The DCGT11T304-FL2 WPP20G is a rhombic 55° indexable insert designed for turning steel, offering optimised chip control and a durable coated carbide grade for productive machining.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Optimised FL2 chipbreaker for steel turning
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile operations
• 0.4 mm corner radius for stable cutting edge

High-performance coating for extended cutting intervals

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating combined with the WPP20G grade provides a balance between wear resistance and toughness that benefits repetitive turning operations. The coating reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into fewer tool changes, improved component consistency and lower overall machining costs. In practical terms, the coated cemented carbide substrate resists thermal and abrasive loading typical for steel machining, enabling longer uninterrupted cycles and more predictable tool life.

Geometry that delivers edge stability and process reliability

The rhombic 55° shape and 0.4 mm corner radius give the insert a rigid cutting edge suited to a range of turning tasks, from finishing to light roughing. The combination of 55° geometry and modest corner radius improves access in profiled work and helps maintain surface quality while limiting vibration. The tolerance class G ensures dimensional repeatability of the insert seat, supporting consistent clamping and repeatable results across tool changes.

Chip control tuned for steel applications

Equipped with the FL2 chipbreaker, the insert manages chip formation for steels (material group P), encouraging short, controllable chips that evacuate reliably from the cutting zone. This reduces potential rework, keeps toolpaths clear and supports safer, more efficient automated cycles. The 7° clearance provides the necessary relief to limit rubbing while maintaining a stable cutting edge under moderate depths of cut.

Practical guidance for integration and process improvement

The insert is supplied in the DCGT11T304-FL2 cutting geometry and a thickness of T3, size 11, which matches common toolholder standards for turning. The combination of Tiger‑tec Gold technology and the WPP20G carbide specification is optimised for steel machining, offering a practical balance of productivity and edge retention. For shops seeking to increase throughput, this insert supports higher cutting speeds and predictable wear behaviour when paired with appropriate coolant strategies and stable toolholding.
