TCMT090204-FW4 WPP20G indexable turning insert – coated carbide for Stahl | Walter Tools

TCMT090204-FW4 WPP20G is an indexable turning insert designed for steel machining applications, offering a Tiger·tec Gold coating, a FW4 chipbreaker and a compact triangular geometry for efficient metal removal

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for process security
• FW4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting
• Triangular 60° form with 0.4 mm nose radius

High process security through coated carbide and chip control

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and a coated carbide substrate delivers consistent cutting performance and improved tool life when machining Stahl. The coating reduces flank wear and enhances thermal resistance under typical turning conditions for this material group. The integrated FW4 chipbreaker stabilises chip formation, reducing the risk of entanglement and supporting a controlled evacuation of swarf. Together these features translate into fewer interruptions, less machine downtime and a predictable tool-change rhythm, which supports higher overall productivity in batch and single-piece production alike.

Precise edge geometry for repeatable form and finish

The triangular 60° insert shape provides three indexable cutting corners, while the 0.4 mm nose radius and 7° clearance angle deliver a compromise between edge strength and surface quality. The compact design enables close tolerances and stable cutting across finishing and semi-finishing passes. Because the insert is available in a standard ISO designation, it integrates easily into existing toolholders and tool management systems. Operators gain repeatable results with a small, strong cutting edge that resists chipping during interrupted cuts and provides a reliable surface finish on machined components.

Application guidance and economic advantage in production

Classified for ISO group P, this grade is optimised specifically for machining Stahl, combining wear resistance and toughness for a broad range of unalloyed and alloyed steels. The insert’s robust edge and coating strategy make it suitable for general turning tasks, from medium-duty roughing to precision finishing, depending on cutting data. The indexable nature keeps tooling costs low: multiple edges per insert and predictable wear characteristics reduce inventory turnover and support cost-effective production planning. For specific cutting speeds and feeds, consult Metav Werkzeuge for tailored recommendations that match the machine power and workpiece alloy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The insert is specified for machining Stahl and the grade WPP20G is tuned for the thermal and chip-formation behaviour typical of that material group.

How does the FW4 chipbreaker affect performance?
The FW4 chipbreaker on the TCMT090204-FW4 WPP20G insert improves chip control and evacuation, which contributes to stable cutting and reduced risk of chip-related surface damage.

How many usable edges does the triangular insert provide?
A triangular 60° insert offers three indexable cutting edges; the precise corner geometry supports repeatable results across multiple indexing cycles.

Is this insert suitable for finishing passes?
With a 0.4 mm nose radius and a coated carbide substrate, the insert can be used for both semi-finishing and finishing tasks depending on cutting data and machine stability; consult Metav Werkzeuge for optimisation tips.
