High productivity for Stahl turning with a coated grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade provides a balanced performance that targets high process reliability and extended service life. Designed specifically for operations in Stahl, the coated hardmetal grade mitigates the typical heat and chip formation encountered during turning. The square 90° geometry and 1.2 mm corner radius contribute to robust cutting behaviour, enabling stable depths of cut and predictable tool wear. This results in fewer tool changes and a more continuous production flow, which supports lean machining strategies on the shop floor.

Consistent chip control and surface quality from an RP7 chipbreaker

The integrated RP7 chipbreaker is engineered to break and evacuate chips reliably under typical Stahl cutting conditions. Consistent chip formation reduces downtime caused by chip jamming and protects the workpiece surface, producing repeatable finishes across batches. Because the chipbreaker is matched to the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the insert geometry, the cutting edge maintains integrity for longer, helping to achieve a steady surface roughness and reduced need for secondary finishing. The result is improved component throughput with lower rework rates.

Durable edge and process security through grade and geometry

A negative relief of 0° (negative) and the insert’s sturdy square shape support secure clamping and resistance to mechanical shock in interrupted cuts. The WPP10G grade, a coated carbide formulation, is aimed at a broad coverage of Stahl types and offers a compromise between wear resistance and toughness. This makes the indexable insert suitable for a range of turning operations from medium finishing to roughing, depending on the chosen cutting data. The predictable behaviour of the insert aids in reducing process variability and contributes to consistent production results.

Practical application guidance and handling

For optimal results, pair the insert with a suitably rigid toolholder designed for 90° square inserts and select cutting parameters aligned with the chosen Stahl grade and machine capability. The insert’s RP7 chipbreaker performs best when feeds and depths of cut promote short to medium chip lengths; this prevents long stringy chips and supports safe chip evacuation. As the grade is tuned for the thermal and mechanical conditions of Stahl machining, operators can expect fewer thermal cracks on the cutting edge and a longer usable edge life compared with uncoated grades.
