DCMT070204-RP4 WPP30G — Turning indexable insert for steel by Walter Tools

DCMT070204-RP4 WPP30G is a rhombic 55° turning insert designed for efficient steel machining in general turning applications

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• RP4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 55° shape for versatile turning
• 7° clearance and 0.4 corner radius for reliable finishes

Higher throughput with lower unit cost

The Tiger·tec Gold grade WPP30G combines a coated carbide microstructure with process-oriented design to deliver a longer tool life and consistent cutting performance when machining steel (ISO P). The result is reduced downtime for insert changes and lower cost per component in serial production. For CNC turning centres where cycle time and repeatability matter, this insert helps maintain stable cutting parameters over longer tool life, contributing to predictable production planning and improved overall equipment effectiveness.

Better surface quality and chip management

The RP4 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips on the typical heat and chip-forming behaviour of steels, reducing the risk of chip entanglement and tool damage. Paired with the rhombic 55° geometry and a 0.4 mm corner radius, the insert supports fine surface finishes and dimensional control during finishing and semi-finishing passes. The 7° clearance angle helps prevent rubbing at the flank, enabling lower cutting forces and consistent contact conditions even under varying feed rates.

Simple selection and secure process integration

With tolerance class M and the ISO-style designation DCMT070204-RP4 WPP30G, the insert fits standard toolholders for rhombic 55° inserts and simplifies inventory management. The coated carbide composition makes it suitable primarily for steel machining as defined in ISO groups, while the WPP30G composition strikes a balance between wear resistance and toughness for mixed batch work. Production engineers benefit from predictable wear behaviour, enabling straightforward tool-life monitoring and easy integration into existing machining processes.
