SCMT120408-RP4 WPP30G — Square turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel

SCMT120408-RP4 WPP30G is a square 90° indexable turning insert optimised for steel machining, featuring a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade and an RP4 chipbreaker for stable performance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated, high wear resistance
• RP4 chipbreaker for predictable chip control
• Square 90° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Designed for steel machining (ISO P)

Precision and productivity from coated carbide technology

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with the WPP30G carbide grade provides a balanced performance profile that prioritises wear resistance and consistent edge life when machining steels. Thanks to the coated substrate and modern coating layers, the insert offers improved thermal stability during continuous turning cycles, which reduces flank wear and helps maintain dimensional accuracy over longer tool life. The result is fewer tool changes and more predictable process windows on production lines that demand repeatable component tolerances.

Reliable chip control and geometrical benefits for stable cutting

With the RP4 chipbreaker geometry and a square 90° plate form, the insert delivers controlled chip formation across typical steel grades. The 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° clearance angle contribute to a favourable balance between edge strength and surface finish, reducing vibration tendencies at moderate cutting parameters. For workshops moving from uncoated grades to a coated solution, this indexable insert simplifies parameter transfer while enhancing surface quality and reducing rework rates.

Application focus and support for machining steel

Engineered primarily for ISO P materials, this insert suits unalloyed and alloyed steel applications where a combination of toughness and wear resistance is required. The design is appropriate for turning operations that prioritise stable chip control and consistent tool life rather than extreme high-speed finishing. For specific machining strategies, toolpath planning or assistance with cutting data, technical consultation is available to ensure the insert matches the workpiece material and machine capabilities.

FAQ

What workpiece materials is this insert suitable for?
The SCMT120408-RP4 WPP30G insert is designed for ISO P materials and is suitable for machining unalloyed and alloyed steel.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating affect performance?
Tiger·tec Gold on the WPP30G grade enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, which extends tool life and helps maintain consistent cutting performance in steel turning.

Which chipbreaker should be chosen for general turning tasks?
The RP4 chipbreaker on this insert provides predictable chip control for a wide range of steel turning operations, balancing chip evacuation and surface finish.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
The square 90° geometry with a 0.8 mm corner radius offers good edge strength for semi-finishing; for fine finishing, consider smaller radii or dedicated finishing grades.

Where can technical cutting data and availability be obtained?
Technical cutting data and stock information are available through Metav Werkzeuge; contact information is provided in the product description for direct assistance.
