SCMT120408-FP6 WPP20G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold, for steel

A SCMT120408-FP6 WPP20G indexable turning insert optimised for steel turning with an FP6 chipbreaker and a 7° clearance angle, suited to general and finishing operations.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended life
• Designed specifically for steel (P) machining
• 0.8 mm corner radius for stable cutting
• FP6 chipbreaker for predictable chip control

Improve process stability with a coated, wear-resistant grade

The Tiger·tec Gold WPP20G grade combines a coated carbide substrate with an application-focused coating to deliver stable chip formation and extended edge life when machining steel. The chemical and mechanical properties of the coating reduce flank wear and resistance to built-up edge, which leads to fewer tool changes and more predictable cycle times. For production environments where repeatability matters, the insert’s FP6 chipbreaker produces consistent chip geometry under typical steel cutting conditions, improving machine uptime and reducing manual intervention. This results in a measurable uplift in process reliability and a reduction in overall machining costs per component.

Precision geometry that supports consistent surface finish and tool life

The square 90° shape, paired with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° clearance, delivers a balance between robustness and surface quality. The geometry resists chipping under interrupted cuts while still allowing close control of the cutting edge for good finish on workpieces. The insert’s dimensions (12 mm inscribed circle, 4 mm thickness) create a stable clamping condition in standard toolholders and help dissipate cutting forces evenly across the grade. As a consequence, tool life becomes more predictable and part tolerances are easier to maintain, making this solution suitable for both batch production and mixed-series work where repeatable quality is required.

Practical benefits for workshop efficiency and application flexibility

Selected for its versatility in the ISO P group, this insert supports a wide range of steel grades from tough to moderately abrasive. The WPP20G sortation offers a compromise between wear resistance and toughness, enabling productive metal removal rates without sacrificing edge security. The SCMT format provides four usable cutting edges per insert, lowering the cost per edge and simplifying inventory management. Combined with the insert’s coating and chip control, the overall result is an insert that contributes to shorter setup times, fewer interruptions and a smoother production flow in environments that prioritise throughput and consistent component quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SCMT120408-FP6 WPP20G by Walter Tools is specified for the ISO P group and is therefore suitable for machining a wide range of steels.

How does the FP6 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FP6 chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation in steel turning applications, helping to maintain stable cutting conditions and reducing the risk of entangling or long stringy chips.

How many usable edges does a single insert provide?
The SCMT geometry offers four cutting edges per insert; each edge can be indexed to extend overall tool life and reduce cost per edge.

Is the WPP20G grade more wear-resistant or tougher?
WPP20G, part of the Tiger·tec Gold family, balances wear resistance and toughness to deliver reliable performance across common steel turning tasks, favouring extended life with good edge security.

Where can cutting data or tooling support be obtained?
Cutting parameters and application advice for the SCMT120408-FP6 WPP20G can be requested from Metav Werkzeuge; their team can recommend speeds, feeds and coolant strategies for the intended steel grade.
