TCMT16T302-FP4 TCMT16T302-FP4 WPP20G – triangular indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold for steel (Walter Tools)

A TCMT16T302-FP4 WPP20G triangular indexable turning insert engineered for steel machining, offering a wear-resistant coated carbide grade and a chipforming geometry for stable production.

• Triangle 60° insert for robust turning
• Tiger·tec Gold coated, wear-resistant grade WPP20G
• FP4 chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• 0.2 mm corner radius with 7° clearance

Longer tool life through a proven coating technology

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G grade provides consistent edge stability and extended tool life when machining steels (material group P). The multilayer coating reduces flank and crater wear under the thermal loads typical of steel turning, which means fewer interruptions for insert changes and a more predictable production rhythm. This economy of tool use translates directly into lower unit costs and more consistent component quality.

Better component quality thanks to controlled chip formation

The FP4 chipbreaker and the 0.2 mm corner radius deliver stable chip control and improved surface finish on turned parts. The geometry is optimised to break and evacuate chips reliably under a range of cutting conditions, reducing the risk of surface marks and tool interference. With a clearance angle of 7°, the insert maintains a secure cutting edge engagement while limiting rubbing — a balance that supports repeatable surface integrity and shorter downstream finishing cycles.

Flexible triangular geometry for productive indexing and set-up

The triangular 60° form with a 16 mm inscribed circle and a T3 body thickness provides three usable cutting edges per index, enabling economical tool use in batch production or single-part runs. The insert is suitable for both conventional turning and boring operations where a compact, robust geometry is required. As a coated carbide insert, it handles the heat and forces of steel machining effectively and simplifies tooling inventory by covering a broad range of common turning tasks.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TCMT16T302-FP4 WPP20G is designed for machining steel (material group P) and is optimised for typical heat and chip behaviour encountered in steel turning.

What benefit does the Tiger·tec Gold coating deliver?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP20G grade improves wear resistance and process stability, giving longer tool life and more consistent cutting performance when turning steel.

How does the FP4 chipbreaker help in production?
The FP4 chipforming geometry ensures reliable chip control and evacuation, which reduces the chance of surface damage and supports steady-cycle machining with fewer interruptions.

How many usable edges does the triangular insert provide?
The triangular 60° geometry provides three indexable cutting edges, offering economical edge utilisation and quick re-indexing during production.

Is this insert suitable for finishing or roughing operations?
With a 0.2 mm corner radius and the WPP20G grade, the insert is suitable for a range of operations from medium finishing to general-purpose turning in steel, depending on cutting parameters and machine stability.
