DCMT11T308-FP4 WKP01G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold for steel and cast iron (Walter Tools)

The DCMT11T308-FP4 WKP01G is an indexable turning insert designed for reliable machining of steel and cast iron in demanding production environments.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WKP01G
• Designed for steel and cast iron machining
• FP4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Rhombic 55° form with 0.8 mm corner radius

Maximised process reliability and longer tool life

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with the WKP01G grade offers increased wear resistance and thermal stability, which leads to longer tool life and fewer index changes. The FP4 chipbreaker is engineered to promote orderly chip formation when machining both unalloyed and alloyed steel (P) and cast iron (K), reducing interruptions and improving uptime. This combination delivers reproducible cutting performance that supports consistent cycle times and lower tooling consumption over production runs.

Geometry tuned for dimensional accuracy and stability

With a rhombic 55° shape and a clearance angle of 7°, the insert provides a balanced approach between accessibility and stability. The 0.8 mm corner radius helps distribute cutting forces, which reduces edge chipping and improves dimensional stability on contoured or interrupted cuts. The T3 thickness and M tolerance class ensure secure seating in standard toolholders and predictable part tolerances, making the insert suitable for both semi-finishing and general turning operations.

Efficient chip control for safer machining

The FP4 chipbreaker is tailored to manage a wide variety of chip forms encountered in steel and cast-iron turning. Controlled chip breaking and evacuation reduce the risk of entanglement and machine stoppages, while contributing to a consistent surface finish. Improved chip handling also supports safer unattended machining and simplifies downstream chip management, which can lower secondary handling time and protect workpiece surface integrity.

Practical selection and economic advantages

As a coated carbide insert within the Tiger·tec Gold series, the DCMT11T308-FP4 WKP01G supports cost-effective production by combining wear resistance with broad material applicability. The grade’s design focuses on stable edge retention in common turning scenarios, enabling fewer tool changes and predictable process windows. For users seeking application-specific setup values, Metav Werkzeuge can provide specification support and guidance on feed and speed ranges to align cutting data with production goals.
