DCMT11T308-FW4 WKP01G turning insert — Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Gold, Rhombus 55°

The DCMT11T308-FW4 WKP01G is a rhombic 55° turning insert optimised for steel and cast iron machining, offering a coated carbide grade tailored to stable chip formation and extended service intervals.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WKP01G
• FW4 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning operations
• 7° clearance angle with a 0.8 mm nose radius

Consistent cutting performance that lowers process variation

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with the WKP01G grade ensures wear-resistant behaviour under typical turning loads. As a coated carbide grade, the insert reduces flank and crater wear compared with uncoated grades, which translates into longer productive tool life and fewer tool changes. For process planners, this means a more stable machining window and predictable regrinding or replacement intervals, helping to maintain throughput and reduce scrap rates.

Geometry designed for reliable chip control and surface quality

The rhombic 55° geometry and the FW4 chipbreaker are configured to produce short, controlled chips when machining a broad range of steels and cast irons. The 0.8 mm nose radius balances strength and surface finish: a small radius that supports accuracy on finishing passes while still providing sufficient edge strength for light roughing. The 7° free angle reduces rubbing on the flank face, improving surface integrity and reducing heat transfer into the workpiece.

Versatile material capability for mixed-production environments

Marked for ISO groups P and K, the insert is suitable for a wide mix of unalloyed and alloyed steel as well as cast iron applications. The grade and coating strategy are matched to the thermal and abrasive conditions encountered when turning these materials; for instance, the formulation is tolerant of the short, breaking chips typical of many cast irons and the continuous chips and heat-generation common with steels. This versatility reduces tooling complexity in shops that run mixed production.

Industrial compatibility and handling benefits for series production

With an 11 size plate and tolerance class M, the insert fits standard DCMT pockets and common toolholder systems that accept rhombic 55° plates, while plate thickness T3 provides a stable clamping interface. The concise specification facilitates easy ordering and inventory management: a single coated grade covers many routine turning tasks, cutting down on tool variants required at the tool crib. The result is lower set-up time, simplified stockkeeping and more predictable machining outcomes.
