SCMT09T312-RP4 WPP10G – indexable insert for drilling/reaming and turning, Walter Tools (Tiger‑tec Gold, suitable for steel)

The SCMT09T312-RP4 WPP10G is a square indexable insert engineered for productive machining of steel in combined drilling/reaming and turning operations, offering a controlled chip geometry and a robust coating system.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for high wear resistance
• WPP10G grade tuned for steel machining
• RP4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 7° clearance and 1.2 mm corner radius

Greater process reliability through a specialised grade and coating

The combination of the WPP10G grade with the Tiger‑tec Gold coating provides a consistent cutting edge life under the temperatures typical for steel cutting. Coated carbide is designed to resist abrasive and adhesive wear, which translates into fewer tool changes and higher machine uptime. The result is improved productivity and predictable tool behaviour during longer runs or batch production, making this insert well suited for industrial turning and bore finishing tasks where cycle-time stability is essential.

Controlled chip formation and surface quality for fewer reworks

The integrated RP4 chipbreaker stabilises the chip flow when machining steel, reducing the likelihood of built-up edge and improving surface finish. The square 90° geometry and 1.2 mm corner radius support robust cutting edges that tolerate intermittent cuts and setup variations, while the 7° clearance angle helps avoid rubbing and reduces thermal loading on the cutting edge. These features together lower the risk of rework and help maintain consistent part tolerances in serial production.

Versatile application in drilling/reaming and turning workflows

Designed for combined operations, the insert’s geometry and grade enable both axial and radial cutting actions with reliable chip evacuation. The designation SCMT09T312-RP4 indicates a compact square insert with size 09 and thickness T3, making it compatible with common toolholders for drilling/reaming heads and turning toolposts. For operations focused on steel (ISO group P), the insert balances wear resistance and edge toughness, supporting stable performance across a wide range of feed and speed settings.
