DCMT11T308-MP6 WPP20G indexable turning insert for steel, Tiger‑tec Gold – Walter Tools

The DCMT11T308-MP6 WPP20G is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert engineered for general steel machining, offering a coated carbide grade optimised for consistent wear resistance and predictable performance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended life
• MP6 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for improved finish

Longer production runs through advanced coating

The Tiger‑tec Gold technology used in this grade, WPP20G, provides a multi-layer coated carbide that reduces flank and crater wear under typical steel cutting conditions. This results in extended tool life and fewer insert changes during batch production, supporting higher uptime and lower total machining costs. The coating is specifically tuned to cope with the heat and chip formation typical for group P materials, which improves process stability on medium to high cutting speeds.

Predictable chip control and surface quality

The MP6 chipbreaker, combined with the rhombic 55° geometry and 7° relief, offers reliable chip formation and evacuation when turning steel. Controlled chips reduce the risk of surface defects and tool damage, enabling consistent part-to-part quality and smoother operation in automated or manual setups. The 0.8 mm corner radius helps balance strength and finish, producing a fine surface while maintaining edge durability.

Optimised geometry for common turning tasks

With the DCMT format and T3 thickness, this insert suits a wide range of conventional turning applications where balance between robustness and accessibility is required. The insert size (11) and tolerance M ensure repeatable positioning in standard toolholders, simplifying inventory management and tool changeovers. The combination of grade and chipbreaker makes the insert suitable for diverse steel types, offering a practical compromise between wear resistance and toughness.

Consistent integration in production environments

Tolerance class M and standardised geometry support straightforward integration into existing tooling systems, making tool planning and requalification more efficient. The coated carbide grade WPP20G is categorised for steel according to ISO guidance, which helps engineers specify cutting data with predictable outcome. For workshop planners and production engineers, these characteristics translate to measurable process reliability and easier choice of cutting parameters.
