DCMT150404-MP6 WPP20G turning insert – Tiger·tec Gold, Rhombic 55°, 7° clearance (Walter Tools)

The DCMT150404-MP6 WPP20G is a coated carbide turning insert designed for general steel machining, offering robust performance in medium to high cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP20G
• MP6 chipbreaker optimised for steel turning
• Rhombic 55° shape with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance angle for reliable cutting geometry

High productivity through coated-carbide technology

The Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G grade combine to deliver a balance of wear resistance and toughness that supports longer tool life and consistent component quality. This coated carbide formulation is engineered for the thermal and mechanical conditions typical when machining steels (material group P), so the result is fewer tool changes and more predictable production cycles. For manufacturers targeting steady throughput, the improved edge life reduces interruption and assists in meeting tight batch schedules.

Precise chip control and surface quality for steel applications

Equipped with the MP6 chipbreaker, the insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation during turning operations on steel. Controlled chips reduce the risk of re-cutting and help maintain a steady cutting process, which in turn improves surface finish and repeatability. The insert is intended for a broad range of unalloyed and alloyed steels, so it supports a variety of standard turning tasks in jobbing and production environments, offering a predictable machining experience even for operators with limited process data.

Geometry that supports versatility and stability at the toolpost

The rhombic 55° shape, combined with a small 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle, gives a favourable compromise between accessibility in shoulder cuts and adequate support for the cutting edge. The insert’s designation reflects its proportional dimensions and mounting suitability for standard toolholders, enabling easy integration into existing tooling sets. This geometry helps reduce cutting forces on depth changes and contributes to stable tool clamping, which benefits dimensional accuracy and repeatability in serial work.
