High-performance grade for reliable steel machining

The insert uses the Tiger·tec Gold technology in the WPP20G grade, a coated carbide solution engineered for the thermal and mechanical demands of steel machining. This grade balances hardness and toughness to deliver a stable edge life under continuous operation, which reduces the frequency of tool changes and supports higher process throughput. The designation aligns with ISO P specifications, meaning the cutting geometry and coating are optimised for unalloyed and alloyed steels, where heat generation and chip formation require tailored material behaviour.

Controlled chips and consistent surface finish

The built-in chipformer 2R08-E47 is tuned to produce predictable chip shapes during drilling and reaming, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of recutting or surface damage. Improved chip control leads to fewer interruptions for clearing and contributes to a more consistent bore quality. In production environments where cycle time and reproducible surface finish matter, the combination of geometry and coating helps maintain process stability and lowers scrap rates.

Designed for productivity and repeatable results

As an indexable insert, the item is intended to be mounted in compatible tool bodies to deliver repeatable cutting performance across multiple edges. The WPP20G composition provides a broad material window within the steel group, enabling productive machining across various part families without constant tool requalification. The result is better machine utilisation and a measurable reduction in setup and maintenance overheads, which supports leaner workflow and predictable output.

Practical application notes and shop-floor integration

The insert is suitable for a range of drilling and reaming tasks in ISO P steels, including both unalloyed and alloyed grades typically encountered in general engineering. While cutting data depends on machine rigidity and coolant strategy, the combination of coated carbide and the 2R08-E47 chipformer is intended to perform well under standard peck-drilling and continuous reaming cycles.
