DCMT070202-FP4 WKP01G indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold grade, for steel and cast iron

DCMT070202-FP4 WKP01G is a Tiger·tec Gold indexable turning insert engineered for productive external turning of steels and cast irons in industrial machining applications

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WKP01G
• Optimised FP4 chipbreaker geometry
• 7° clearance for reliable cutting
• Rhombic 55° insert with 0.2 mm nose radius

Higher throughput for steel machining with predictable tool life

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WKP01G grade is designed to deliver increased cutting performance when machining steels. Coated carbide technology reduces flank wear and supports higher cutting speeds, which translates into a measurable rise in productivity and a lower cost per part. The focus on thermal and wear resistance enables more consistent tool life, helping to shorten cycle times without compromising component quality.

Consistent chip control and surface finish through FP4 geometry

The FP4 chipbreaker offers controlled chip formation for typical turning operations, reducing the risk of long, entangling chips and improving evacuation. With a 0.2 mm nose radius the insert produces a fine surface finish at moderate depths of cut while maintaining edge strength for light to medium finishing passes. Clear chip control means fewer process interruptions and a steadier workpiece finish across production batches.

Stable cutting conditions from robust geometry and clearance

The rhombic 55° shape combined with 7° clearance provides a geometry suitable for versatile external turning tasks, offering a balance between strength and access to the cutting zone. The tolerance class M supports accurate seating in tool holders, reducing runout and vibration. This stability is particularly beneficial in operations where repeatability and dimensional accuracy are required, such as batch production or mixed-series turning.

Clear application scope and simple selection for process planning

Designed for the ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the insert is suitable where those workpiece families present typical chip and heat characteristics defined in machining standards. The DCMT070202-FP4 WKP01G indexable turning insert simplifies tool selection for mixed workshops and production lines, offering a standardised solution that reduces setup complexity and supports predictable machining outcomes.

FAQ

Which workpiece materials is this insert suitable for?
The DCMT070202-FP4 WKP01G indexable turning insert is specified for ISO groups P and K, meaning it is intended for machining steel and cast iron materials.

What advantage does the Tiger·tec Gold grade provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold WKP01G grade offers enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability, which supports higher cutting speeds and more consistent tool life in steel and cast-iron turning.

How does the FP4 chipbreaker affect process reliability?
The FP4 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing interruptions caused by poor chip flow and helping to maintain a uniform surface finish.

Is the rhombic 55° geometry suitable for general external turning?
Yes, the rhombic 55° form provides a good compromise between cutting edge strength and access to the workpiece, making it suitable for a range of external turning tasks.

What does tolerance class M mean for mounting?
Tolerance class M indicates a medium-sized tolerance for insert dimensions, which supports accurate seating in compatible tool holders and contributes to process stability.
