DCMT11T308-FP4 WPP10G Drehwendeschneidplatte – Rhombus 55°, FP4 chipbreaker | Walter Tools

The DCMT11T308-FP4 WPP10G is a rhombic indexable turning insert designed for universal steel machining, offering robust edge stability and controlled chip formation for batch and serial production.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• FP4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 7° relief angle for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for durable cutting edge

High-performance coating and grade for steel machining

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating with the WPP10G grade delivers a measurable improvement in tool life and wear resistance when machining steels. Engineered for the typical heat development and chip behaviour of ISO P materials, this coated carbide grade balances wear resistance and toughness to reduce insert changes and minimise downtime. The result is a more predictable process window and lower cost per part in both single-pass and multi-pass turning operations.

Geometry and chip control that improve surface quality

The rhombic Rhombus 55° shape together with the FP4 chipbreaker creates consistent chip segmentation and evacuation, even under variable cutting conditions. The 0.8 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle provide a compromise between edge strength and finishing capability, supporting stable cuts and improved surface finish. The chipbreaker design is tailored to direct chips away from the cutting zone, reducing rework and the risk of workpiece damage; this simplifies setup and contributes to steady cycle times.

Practical benefits for production and tool management

With a medium tolerance class and a robust coated carbide composition, the insert supports reproducible results across tool changes and toolholders. The DCMT geometry allows flexible use in conventional and CNC lathes for turning, facing and light profiling operations on steel. Consistent edge behaviour translates into fewer interrupted cycles and a lower consumption of inserts overall, which enhances productivity and process reliability in volume manufacturing. Recommendations for tool life are best determined under application-specific conditions; Metav Werkzeuge can advise on speeds, feeds and depth of cut for the WPP10G grade.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The DCMT11T308-FP4 WPP10G is specified for ISO P materials; the WPP10G grade is optimised for machining steel, including unalloyed and alloyed steels.

What does the FP4 chipbreaker achieve in practice?
The FP4 chipbreaker on this insert directs chips away from the cutting edge and workpiece, improving chip control and reducing the likelihood of built-up edge during steel turning.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating affect performance?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP10G grade increases wear resistance and thermal stability, leading to longer tool life and more consistent performance under typical steel cutting conditions.

Is the geometry suitable for finishing as well as roughing?
Yes; the Rhombus 55° form combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° relief angle offers a balance between edge strength for roughing and surface quality for light finishing passes.
