DCMT11T304-RP4 WPP20G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold, Walter Tools (RP4, 7°)

The DCMT11T304-RP4 WPP20G is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert designed for general steel turning, combining a wear-resistant coating with an RP4 chipbreaker for stable chip formation and reproducible results.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for high process security
• Optimised RP4 chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise finishing

Reliable performance for steel turning with reduced tool changes

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G carbide grade is engineered for machining steels in accordance with ISO P, offering an improved balance between wear resistance and toughness. The coating reduces flank wear and enhances thermal resistance, which means fewer tool changes and more predictable life in serial production. In practice, this results in a more stable process window and consistent part quality when turning unalloyed and alloyed steel grades. The insert's substrate and coating technology are aimed at achieving a high level of process reliability and repeatable performance.

Geometry and chip control that improve finish and cycle time

The Rhombic 55° insert geometry together with the RP4 chipbreaker and a 0.4 mm corner radius delivers controlled chip formation and good surface finish on offhand and continuous turns. A 7° clearance angle helps to reduce rubbing and heat accumulation while the RP4 groove actively breaks chips across a range of feeds, lowering the risk of built-up edge and workpiece damage. These features combine to shorten cycle times and reduce secondary operations, contributing directly to production efficiency and fewer rejects.

Compact design for adaptable clamping and secure productivity

With a plate size of 11 and thickness T3, the insert fits common turning toolholders and provides a stable cutting edge for a wide range of routine turning tasks. The compact profile and robust cutting edge reduce vibrations and improve dimensional consistency, which is especially valuable in batch runs and mixed-production environments. The coating and grade pairing supports higher cutting parameters where machine rigidity and cooling permit, enabling more economical metal removal rates without compromising component integrity.

Clear application scope and practical recommendations

This insert is specified for steel machining per the ISO grouping and is optimised for the thermal and chip-formation characteristics typical of these materials. The RP4 chipbreaker is suitable for general turning including medium-depth cuts and finishing passes; for heavy interrupted cuts or specialised alloys, select a dedicated geometry or grade. For precise clamping advice, recommended feeds and speeds or when integrating the insert into a tool assembly, Metav Werkzeuge offers technical documentation and consultation to adapt parameters to the machine, holder and workpiece.
