DCMT11T308-FW4 WPP10G Drehwendeschneidplatte – Tiger·tec Gold coated insert for steel machining (Walter Tools)

The DCMT11T308-FW4 WPP10G is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert designed for efficient machining of steel, offering an optimised chipbreaker and a compact 0.8 mm corner radius for stable cutting performance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide for durability
• Optimised FW4 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Rhombic 55° insert with 7° clearance
• 0.8 mm nose radius for reliable edge strength

Stable wear resistance for longer production runs

The coated cemented carbide grade WPP10G from the Tiger·tec Gold family is engineered for machining steels according to ISO 513. The advanced Tiger·tec Gold multi-layer coating improves thermal and mechanical resistance, which leads to enhanced tool life and fewer insert changes during long cycles. Combined with the grade composition, this results in reduced tool consumption and improved process reliability, especially on mixed batches of unalloyed and alloyed steels where heat generation and chip formation vary considerably.

Geometry that delivers consistent surface quality and edge security

The rhombic 55° shape and 7° clearance produce a versatile cutting geometry suitable for relief and profiling operations. The 0.8 mm nose radius balances edge strength with the ability to achieve stable surface finishes on turned parts; it helps avoid micro-chipping while maintaining dimensional stability. The insert thickness T3 and nominal size 11 provide sufficient body support, so the cutting edge remains resistant to built-up edge and mechanical shock, translating into repeatable component quality and fewer reworks.

Chip control and process integration for higher throughput

The FW4 chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip formation when machining steels, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of entanglement or tool interference. As an indexable turning insert, the design enables quick indexing for renewed cutting edges, shortening machine downtime and simplifying inventory management. With a tolerance class M the insert ensures consistent performance across batches; this makes it suitable for serial production where process security and predictable tool life are priorities. For tailored recommendations on feed, speed and holder choices, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical consultancy to match the insert to specific turning setups.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The DCMT11T308-FW4 WPP10G is designed primarily for machining steel (ISO P), including unalloyed and alloyed steels, where its Tiger·tec Gold coating supports high wear resistance.

How does the FW4 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FW4 chipbreaker on this Walter Tools insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation during turning of steels, improving operator safety and surface consistency.

Is the 0.8 mm corner radius suitable for finishing?
A 0.8 mm nose radius provides a compromise between edge strength and finish quality; it is suitable for many finishing and semi-finishing operations while offering good resistance to chipping.

Can this insert be used in common toolholders?
The rhombic 55° geometry and standard DCMT designation allow mounting in widely available toolholders intended for indexable turning inserts of this form factor.

What does the WPP10G grade mean in practice?
WPP10G is a Walter Tools coated carbide grade within Tiger·tec Gold technology, optimised for process stability and extended tool life when machining steels under typical turning conditions.
