TCMT110308-MP4 WPP20G — TCMT110308-MP4 WPP20G indexable turning insert for steel (Walter Tools)

The TCMT110308-MP4 WPP20G is a triangle 60° indexable turning insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating, designed for productive steel machining in general turning applications

• Tiger·tec Gold coated for high wear resistance
• WPP20G grade optimised for steel machining
• Triangle 60° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• 7° relief angle for stable chip control

Greater productivity through optimised wear resistance

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G cutting grade is engineered for high process reliability when machining steel. The coating technology reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes. For production environments where consistent component quality matters, this configuration lowers downtime and supports predictable cycle times without complex parameter adjustments.

Stable chip control and repeatable edge performance

Equipped with the MP4 chipbreaker and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert promotes controlled chip formation under common turning conditions. The moderate corner radius balances edge strength with surface finish, making the geometry suitable for medium-depth finishing and semi-finishing passes. Clear chip detachment improves swarf handling at the machine, reducing the risk of re-cutting and enhancing overall process stability.

Geometry tailored for reliable clamping and cutting forces

The triangle 60° shape offers three cutting corners per insert, supporting cost-effective indexability and quick corner changes. The specified 7° relief angle helps maintain a consistent cutting engagement and reduces rubbing at the flank, which supports lower cutting forces and reduced vibration in many setups. This geometric package is particularly effective on conventional lathes and CNC turning centres where predictable cutting behaviour is essential.

Practical specification guidance for selection and use

When specifying this insert, consider the WPP20G suitability for unalloyed and alloyed steels – it is balanced for the thermal and mechanical conditions typical of steel turning. The plate thickness code and size align with common toolholder standards for this insert family, enabling straightforward integration into existing holders. For unfamiliar setups, a short machining trial at moderate speeds and feeds will quickly validate the optimal cutting data for the component and machine combination.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TCMT110308-MP4 WPP20G insert is designed primarily for steel applications (material group P), matching the WPP20G grade’s balance between wear resistance and toughness.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit machining?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on this insert reduces wear rates and improves thermal resistance, which helps maintain dimensional stability and extends edge life during continuous turning operations.

Is the chipbreaker type important for process stability?
Yes, the MP4 chipbreaker is configured to promote consistent chip formation for the insert geometry, which supports reliable swarf control and reduces the likelihood of chip-related interruptions.

How many cutting edges are available per insert and what is the geometry?
The triangular 60° form provides three usable cutting corners per insert, combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius to balance edge strength and surface finish.

Can this insert be used on automated turning centres?
The insert’s geometry and coating are suitable for CNC turning centres; however, final cutting data should be validated in a short trial to match machine stiffness, clamping and workpiece material.
