SCMT09T308-MP4 WPP10G — indexable insert for steel turning with Tiger·tec Gold coating

SCMT09T308-MP4 WPP10G is a square 90° indexable insert designed for productive turning and drilling applications in steel, combining a Tiger·tec Gold coated grade with an MP4 chipbreaker for stable machining.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for high wear resistance
• Square 90° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• MP4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Optimised for steel machining (ISO group P)

Consistent tool life thanks to Tiger·tec Gold and WPP10G

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold technology and the WPP10G grade provides a balance between wear resistance and toughness. This coating system reduces flank and crater wear under typical steel turning temperatures, which leads to longer insert life and fewer index changes. For production environments, the result is more predictable tool life and reduced downtime, as the coated cemented carbide substrate resists thermal degradation while maintaining edge stability.

Predictable cutting behaviour with MP4 chip control

The MP4 chipbreaker geometry is engineered to channel chips reliably during both turning and drilling operations. By promoting short, controllable chips the insert lowers the risk of entanglement, improves evacuation in through-hole and face operations, and contributes to consistent surface finishes. The 7° free cutting angle supports smooth shear formation, while the square 90° shape offers robust edge support for interrupted cuts or shoulder turning.

Application focus: optimised for steels (ISO group P)

This insert is specifically formulated for machining steel, including unalloyed and alloyed grades as indicated by the ISO group P. The carbide grade selection within the WPP10G family accommodates the typical heat generation and chip form found in steel turning, offering a compromise between abrasive wear resistance and fracture toughness. For shops processing mixed steel batches, this insert performs well in general-purpose turning tasks where repeatability and process stability are priorities.

Geometry and handling benefits that aid process control

With a 0.8 mm corner radius and a thickness marked as T3, the insert offers a robust cutting edge for durability and strength in shoulder and facing operations. The square 90° geometry creates stable clamping in compatible toolholders and supports higher radial engagement when required. These geometric features, combined with the MP4 chipbreaker, translate into fewer edge failures and improved machining reliability across batch and single-piece production.
