TCMT16T304-FP4 WPP10G triangular 60° turning insert for steel – Walter Tools

The TCMT16T304-FP4 WPP10G is a triangular 60° indexable insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating, engineered for productive and repeatable steel turning operations.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WPP10G
• Triangle 60° with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Chipbreaker FP4 for controlled chip formation
• Relief angle 7° for stable cutting edge

Increase process output with wear-resistant Tiger·tec Gold

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G carbide grade is designed for high productivity in steel machining (ISO P). The coated carbide composition provides improved resistance to abrasive wear and thermal loading, which translates into longer cutting intervals and fewer tool changes. As a result, cycle times are reduced and machining processes become more predictable. This grade is particularly suitable where a balance between durability and versatility is required, delivering consistent performance across a wide range of steel alloys.

Reliable chip control and improved surface quality

The embedded chipbreaker FP4 works with the insert’s triangle 60° geometry and 0.4 mm corner radius to promote favourable chip formation and evacuation. Controlled chips reduce risk of re-cutting and protect the machined surface, so that a superior finish is achieved without sacrificing material removal rates. The 7° relief angle supports stable engagement at typical turning depths, while the insert form contributes to secure edge strength during interrupted cuts or higher feed applications.

Seamless fit into standard turning toolholders and workflows

Dimensioned as a standard geometry insert (16 mm size, thickness T3) with tolerance class M, this indexable insert is compatible with widely used clamping systems and toolholder families. The designation and chipbreaker selection simplify grade matching for different steel groups, enabling consistent tool-life planning and inventory control. When specified as TCMT16T304-FP4 WPP10G, the component is ready for direct use in production setups where reproducible results and process stability are a priority.
