DCMT11T304-FW4 WPP10G Turning insert (Tiger·tec Gold) for steel – Walter Tools

The DCMT11T304-FW4 WPP10G is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert engineered for efficient steel machining with a 7° relief angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP10G
• Optimised FW4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Rhombic 55° geometry with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° relief angle for stable cutting performance

High-performance cutting tailored for steel production

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade yields a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness that supports sustained productivity when machining steel. The coated carbide substrate reduces flank wear and maintains a stable cutting edge over extended runs, which translates into fewer tool changes and improved process economy. This makes the insert particularly suitable where repeatable performance and predictable tool life are required for batch or continuous production environments.

Consistent chip control and improved surface finish

The integrated FW4 chipbreaker is designed to form and evacuate chips reliably during common steel turning operations, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving surface integrity. Combined with the rhombic 55° form and a 0.4 mm corner radius, the geometry supports controlled cutting engagement and a good balance between edge strength and finish. The 7° relief reduces rubbing at the flank, helping to keep cutting forces stable and contributing to more consistent part tolerances and improved component appearance.

Robust specification for predictable process planning

With a compact plate size and a T3 thickness, the insert adheres to a tolerance class M, providing predictable seating and repeatability across toolholders. The designation emphasises suitability for general steel applications (material group P) and supports a wide range of feed and speed settings when combined with appropriate machining parameters. As a Walter Tools product from the Tiger·tec Gold series, the insert integrates well into existing tooling systems and simplifies spare-part logistics for production shops seeking dependable, repeatable results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The DCMT11T304-FW4 WPP10G insert is specified for steel machining (ISO group P) and the WPP10G grade is optimised for the thermal and chip-formation characteristics typical of steel.

How does the FW4 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FW4 chipbreaker on the DCMT11T304-FW4 optimises chip formation and evacuation, reducing the likelihood of long, stringy chips and supporting consistent surface quality and process reliability.

What is the benefit of the rhombic 55° geometry and 0.4 mm radius?
The rhombic 55° form with a 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and finishing capability, enabling stable cutting with good part tolerances and an improved surface finish in turning operations.

Is this insert compatible with standard DCMT toolholders?
The DCMT11T304-FW4 designation corresponds to standard DCMT insert geometry and is compatible with toolholders designed for DCMT 11-sized inserts when clamped and seated per the holder manufacturer’s instructions.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating enhances wear resistance and edge stability under the thermal loads of steel turning, which supports longer tool life and consistent machining performance.
