DCMT070204-MP4 WPP20G indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — coated carbide, for steel

DCMT070204-MP4 WPP20G is an indexable turning insert designed for general steel machining, delivering productive cutting and long wear life in a compact rhombic form

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide for extended life
• Optimised MP4 chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• Rhombic 55° form for versatile turning applications
• 7° clearance with 0.4 mm corner radius for reliable edges

Longer tool life through advanced coating and grade

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G carbide grade provides improved wear resistance and a stable cutting edge when machining steel (P). Coating technology reduces friction and thermal load at the cutting zone, which leads to longer insert life and fewer tool changes. For production environments this translates into higher uptime and lower total machining costs, as the coated surface helps maintain cutting performance under typical steel turning conditions.

Geometry and chip control that stabilise the process

The rhombic 55° shape and the MP4 chipbreaker are engineered for consistent chip formation and reliable surface finish on medium to universal steel applications. A 7° clearance angle minimises rubbing and supports precise engagement, while the 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce accurate profiles. These design choices reduce vibration and enable repeatable results, improving cycle-time stability and part quality during continuous turning operations.

Practical application guidance for efficient integration

This insert suits a wide range of turning tasks on unalloyed and alloyed steel where balanced toughness and wear resistance are required. The plate thickness and tolerance class support secure clamping in standard toolholders that accept DCMT-style inserts. For selection, pair the insert with appropriate cutting parameters and coolant strategy to exploit the Tiger·tec Gold benefits; establishing recommended speeds and feeds will improve performance and reduce insert consumption. If optimisation is needed, Metav Werkzeuge’s consultants can advise on cutting data and holder compatibility.
