VCMT160404-FM4 WMP20S – Turning indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver, rhombic 35° (Walter Tools) The VCMT160404-FM20S WMP20S is a rhombic 35° turning insert designed for robust and repeatable machining of rostfreier Stahl, offering secure chip control and extended edge life in medium to demanding applications. Tiger·tec Silver coating for improved edge life FM4 chipbreaker for secure chip control Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finish Reliable performance for rostfreier Stahl applications The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WMP20S carbide grade delivers a finely tuned balance between wear resistance and toughness for rostfreier Stahl. The coated hardmetal construction supports stable cutting edges under elevated temperatures and the tendency of these alloys to form built-up edges. The integrated FM4 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip segmentation, which reduces clogging in the cut and enhances process security. These features translate into fewer unplanned tool changes and more consistent part quality during production runs. Improved productivity and predictable tool life The rhombic 35° insert geometry and the 0.4 mm corner radius provide a flexible foundation for both finishing and light turning operations while maintaining low vibration and surface integrity. The 7° clearance angle helps to limit rubbing on the flank face, thereby reducing thermal loading on the cutting edge. Together, the geometry and the coated grade contribute to longer edge life and a reduced need for frequent insert indexing, which supports higher machine uptime and a more favourable cost per part over time. Practical integration and machining benefits As a standard indexable insert form, this element fits common VCMT toolholders and allows straightforward replacement without special adapters. The FM4 chipbreaker is designed to assist chip evacuation across a range of feeds, lowering the risk of entanglement in automated or multi-axis turning setups. For shop-floor teams, the result is a more consistent machining cycle and easier process tuning: insert selection and chipbreaker choice directly influence feed selection and coolant strategy, so pairing this insert with appropriate cutting data delivers measurable gains in operational stability and part finish. Material and process suitability explained The WMP20S grade, as implemented in the Tiger·tec Silver series, specifically targets the machining challenges of rostfreier Stahl: high toughness, tendency to form built-up edges and heat retention at the cutting zone. The coated carbide base offers a protective layer that helps prevent premature flank wear and maintains cutting-edge integrity under intermittent or continuous cutting conditions. When combined with the FM4 chip control geometry, the insert reduces the frequency of surface defects associated with unstable chips and supports a predictable finishing strategy.

Order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our technical advisers if clarification is required. VCMT160404-MP4 WEP10C — indexable turning insert, rhombic 35°, MP4 chipbreaker (Walter Tools) The VCMT160404-MP4 WEP10C is an indexable turning insert in the Walter Cermet series, designed to deliver consistent surface finish and controlled chip formation in precision turning operations; material suitability should be checked against the product matrix. VCMT160404‑MP4 WEP10C by Walter Tools Walter Cermet grade WEP10C for consistent finish Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning MP4 chipbreaker for improved chip control Improved surface finish through cermet edge stability The cermet-based WEP10C grade combines fine-grain hardness with wear resistance, making it particularly effective when a high-quality surface finish is required. The rhombic 35° geometry concentrates cutting forces at the tool edge, while the 0.4 mm corner radius supports repeatable edge strength without excessive cutting forces. Together these attributes reduce rework by maintaining dimensional stability over longer tool life, which benefits batch production and precision components where tolerance retention and finish matter. Stable chip control that keeps production moving A dedicated MP4 chipbreaker has been engineered to promote predictable chip segmentation and evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and machine stoppages. The insert’s 7° relief helps maintain a consistent shear zone, lowering cutting temperatures and improving tool life under finishing and light-medium turning conditions. The net effect is a lower probability of scrap and fewer stoppages for tool change, which supports higher overall process efficiency and throughput. Practical integration and application guidance for the workshop The insert is supplied in Walter’s Cermet series and conforms to tolerance class M, offering a balance between precision and robustness required in many machining contexts. Size designation is 16 with thickness code 04 and the ISO designation VCMT160404‑MP4 WEP10C identifies the geometry and chipbreaker combination. The material is catalogue-dependent; checking the specific product matrix ensures correct matching to workpiece materials and cutting conditions. For integration into existing toolholders and inventory routines, the repeatable indexable format aids simple replacement and consistent part quality.

VCMT160404-MP4 WPP10G WPP10G Wendeplatten - Walter Tools
Taking advantage of the combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating, precise Rhombus 35° geometry and a small corner radius offers reliable chip control and consistent productivity in Stahl turning; order genuine Walter Tools inserts via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical team for optimised cutting data. VCMT160404-MP4 WPP10G indexable turning insert for Stahl machining — Walter Tools The VCMT160404-MP4 WPP10G is an indexable turning insert with Rhombus 35° geometry, designed for robust, high-productivity turning of Stahl where stable chip formation and long tool life are required. Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide WPP10G Rhombus 35° shape for stable cutting 0.4 mm corner radius for precise finish Productivity and process stability for demanding Stahl operations The coated grade WPP10G combines a wear-resistant microstructure with a protective surface layer to deliver predictable tool life under typical turning temperatures. As a result, the insert offers a measurable improvement in cycle consistency and reduces unplanned tool changes, supporting higher throughput. The Tiger·tec Gold technology is engineered to balance wear resistance and toughness, which is particularly beneficial when machining a range of Stahl grades that produce varied chip forms. This focus on process reliability translates into lower downtime and more consistent component quality. Geometry that improves cutting control and surface quality The Rhombus 35° shape provides a favourable entry angle for turning operations, reducing cutting forces while maintaining dimensional control. With a 0.4 mm corner radius, the insert delivers a compromise between edge strength and the ability to achieve fine surface finishes on turned parts. The modest 7° clearance minimises flank rubbing and heat buildup, helping to preserve edge integrity during extended cuts. These geometric attributes work together to produce repeatable results, reducing the need for secondary operations and supporting leaner machining processes. Coating and grade benefits explained for purchasing decisions The insert is a coated carbide grade developed for machining Stahl, offering a blend of hardness and fracture resistance that suits a broad spectrum of turning tasks. The designation indicates a primary focus on wear resistance while retaining enough toughness for intermittent cuts and variable feed conditions. For buyers seeking a cost-effective tool solution, this combination often yields a favourable cost-per-part outcome through extended insert life and fewer indexing cycles compared with uncoated grades. Practical use cases and handling recommendations This insert is suitable for continuous and semi-continuous turning of unalloyed and alloyed Stahl, where stable chip control and edge life are priorities. Its MP4 chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation across a range of cutting conditions. To realise the full benefit of the grade and geometry, pairing the insert with matching toolholders and optimised cutting parameters is recommended; modest feeds and appropriate cutting speeds help exploit the coating properties and protect the cutting edge. For specific cutting data or material-specific recommendations, technical consultation is advised to adapt the solution to the workpiece and machine tool.
