DCMT11T304-FP4 WPP20G — indexable turning insert for steel, Tiger‑tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The DCMT11T304-FP4 WPP20G is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert engineered for general steel turning applications where consistent tool life and controlled chip formation are essential.

• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide for wear resistance
• FP4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 0.4 mm corner radius for finishing and semi‑roughing

Optimised carbide grade for cost‑efficient steel machining

The coated carbide grade WPP20G (Tiger‑tec Gold) combines wear resistance and toughness to maintain a consistent cutting edge in a wide range of steel applications. Designed for ISO group P (steel), this grade balances tool life and process stability, reducing downtime due to frequent insert changes. The result is a measurable improvement in machining economy: fewer interruptions, steadier surface quality and predictable reconditioning intervals. The coated carbide technology mitigates adhesion and thermal wear, which translates into longer productive cycles on medium to high cutting speeds.

Geometry and chip control that improve surface quality

A rhombic 55° shape with a clearance angle of 7° and the FP4 chipbreaker delivers smooth chip formation and evacuation, especially in continuous and interrupted cuts. The small corner radius of 0.4 mm supports fine surface finishes while still allowing modest material removal rates. These geometric features mean fewer rework passes and less need for downstream finishing. Because the insert is indexable, the stable cutting edge and predictable wear behaviour help maintain dimensional accuracy over multiple edge changes, supporting tighter process control on batch runs.

Practical selection and machining guidance for reliable results

When selecting insert geometry and grade, match cutting speed and feed to the grade characteristics and workpiece alloy. The WPP20G grade is optimised for unalloyed and alloyed steels and copes well with the heat and chip formation typical of steel turning. For moderate feeds and finish turning, the 0.4 mm radius performs best; for heavier cuts, consider a larger radius where available. The insert’s T3 thickness and tolerance class M ensure stable clamping in compatible toolholders, minimising vibration and edge chipping. For complex applications or mixed material batches, contact our technical advisers for parameter charts and proven starting values.
