TCMT16T304-FP4 WKP01G turning/boring indexable insert — Tiger·tec Gold for steel & cast iron | Walter Tools

A TCMT16T304-FP4 WKP01G indexable insert engineered for precise external turning and boring operations in steel and cast iron.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for enhanced wear resistance
• Optimised FP4 chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Designed for steel and cast iron applications
• Triangle 60° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting geometry

High-process reliability and longer tool life for demanding steels

The Tiger·tec Gold technology combined with the WKP01G grade delivers a coated carbide substrate optimised for the thermal and mechanical stresses of steel machining. This results in improved wear resistance and stable flank life, which in turn reduces unplanned tool changes and supports higher tool life in serial production. The result is measurable improvement in cycle-time consistency and overall productivity when machining unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as many cast-iron grades according to ISO classifications.

Stable cutting geometry for repeatable surface quality

The triangular 60° form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle provides a robust cutting edge that balances strength and surface finish. The FP4 chipbreaker is designed to produce controllable, short chips on interrupted and continuous cuts, improving chip flow and workpiece surface. A suitably chosen corner radius enhances component integrity while reducing vibration risk; the geometry therefore supports repeatable tolerances and a consistent finish on turned parts, even under varying cut conditions.

Seamless integration into production and easy handling

As an indexable insert, the TCMT16T304-FP4 WKP01G is compatible with standard toolholder systems and the triangular 60° form allows three usable cutting edges per insert, lowering per-edge cost. The plate thickness T3 and tolerance class M ensure stable clamping and repeatable seating in the toolholder. For workshops seeking balance between performance and economy, this insert offers straightforward replacement, predictable wear behaviour and reliable chip control—factors that reduce downtime and simplify inventory management.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?
The TCMT16T304-FP4 WKP01G is designed for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K) in accordance with ISO material groupings, providing reliable wear behaviour on these substrates.

How does the FP4 chipbreaker influence machining?
The FP4 chipbreaker produces short, controlled chips and improves chip evacuation, which benefits surface finish and reduces the risk of chip entanglement during turning with the TCMT16T304-FP4 WKP01G insert.

Is the 0.4 mm corner radius suitable for finishing passes?
A 0.4 mm radius offers a compromise between cutting-edge strength and achievable surface finish; it is suitable for general finishing and semi-finishing while improving edge robustness.

How many cutting edges are available per insert and what is the benefit?
The triangular 60° form provides three usable cutting edges per insert, which reduces tooling cost per edge and simplifies inventory management in series production.

What tolerance and clamping stability can be expected?
The insert is produced to M tolerance class and a T3 thickness, ensuring consistent seating in standard toolholders and reliable clamping stability for repeatable turning results.
