DCMT11T304-FP4 WKP01G – Rhombic 55° indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold for steel & cast iron by Walter Tools

The DCMT11T304-FP4 WKP01G is an indexable turning insert designed to deliver reliable performance in steel and cast iron machining, combining a coated carbide grade with a chipbreaker suited to typical production tasks.

Tiger‑tec Gold coating for wear resistance
Optimised WKP01G grade for steel and cast iron
FP4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
Rhombic 55° form with 0.4 mm corner radius

Longer runtimes thanks to advanced coating and grade

The coated carbide WKP01G grade, part of the Tiger‑tec Gold series, is engineered for high wear resistance and consistent edge stability when machining ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron). This coating system improves thermal resistance and reduces abrasive wear, which translates into fewer tool changes and lower cost per component in batch production. The combination of a robust substrate and modern coating chemistry supports consistent performance under varying cutting conditions.

Geometry that improves process reliability and surface quality

The insert’s rhombic 55° shape and dedicated FP4 chipbreaker deliver controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and tool-induced surface defects. A 7° clearance angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius balance strength and finish — the radius supports edge stability on interrupted cuts while the geometry promotes stable cutting forces. These design choices enhance process reliability and contribute to reproducible part quality in serial turning operations.

Designed for productivity and reduced downtime

By combining an optimised grade with a proven chipbreaker geometry, the insert supports higher productivity through longer tool life and predictable wear behaviour. The T3 plate thickness and tolerance class M ensure mechanical robustness and interchangeability in common toolholders, reducing setup time. For machining environments where consistent output and minimal rework are priorities, this solution helps to keep cycle times low while maintaining target surface characteristics.

Compatibility and practical application notes

The insert is specified for conventional indexable turning toolholders accepting rhombic 55° plates and is particularly suited to applications where steels and cast irons require balanced wear resistance and chip control. The coated carbide composition and the FP4 chip geometry make it suitable for both roughing and finishing cuts, depending on cutting data. For specific feeds, speeds and toolholder recommendations, consult the technical data supplied by Walter Tools or request tailored parameters from the distributor.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The DCMT11T304‑FP4 WKP01G insert is designed for ISO material groups P and K, meaning it is suitable for machining a wide range of steels and cast irons.

How does the Tiger‑tec Gold coating benefit production?
Tiger‑tec Gold coating on the WKP01G grade enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, which typically results in longer tool life and more consistent machining performance.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its effect?
The insert features an FP4 chipbreaker, which provides controlled chip formation and evacuation, supporting stable cutting conditions and improved surface finish.

Is the insert compatible with common toolholders for rhombic plates?
Yes, the rhombic 55° form and T3 thickness are compatible with standard toolholders designed for 55° indexable plates; tolerance class M supports interchangeability.

What role does the 0.4 mm corner radius play?
A 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, helping to maintain edge integrity on intermittent cuts while producing acceptable surface quality.
