TCMT16T308-MP4 WPP20G turning insert, triangular 60°, for steel (Walter Tools)

TCMT16T308-MP4 WPP20G is a coated turning insert designed for general steel turning applications, combining the Tiger‑tec Gold grade with an MP4 chipbreaker for reliable performance

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Suitable for steel machining (ISO P)
• Triangular 60° insert, 0.8 mm corner radius
• MP4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control

Increased productivity through advanced coating and grade

The combination of Tiger‑tec Gold technology and the WPP20G grade gives this insert a coated carbide surface engineered for extended wear resistance during continuous steel machining. This results in fewer tool changes and more consistent cycle times, which supports cost-effective production runs in small-batch and serial turning operations. The coating reduces edge deterioration under typical cutting temperatures encountered with ISO P materials, ensuring a predictable service life and stable component quality.

Stable cutting and chip control for secure machining

With the MP4 chipbreaker, a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle, the geometry promotes dependable chip formation and fracture behaviour in a wide range of turning parameters. The triangular 60° format offers three cutting edges per insert, improving economy per indexable unit and enabling quick re-indexing when required. The tolerance class M ensures dimensional consistency across batches, which is critical for tool presetting and repeatable assembly in automated toolchanging systems.

Versatile application and seamless integration into toolholders

Designed as a TCMT-indexed insert, the format matches common turning holders for external and light interrupted cuts, simplifying stock management and reducing set-up times. Use of the TCMT16T308-MP4 insert supports productive turning on unalloyed and alloyed steels, with robust edge strength that helps avoid premature chipping during medium-duty finishing and semi-finishing operations. The insert’s dimensions and form factor allow straightforward selection of cutting data; for tailored feeds and speeds contact Metav Werkzeuge for recommended parameters and holder matching.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TCMT16T308-MP4 WPP20G insert is specified for steel (ISO P) applications and is optimised for the thermal and chip-forming behaviour typical of unalloyed and alloyed steels.

What benefit does the Tiger‑tec Gold grade provide?
The WPP20G Tiger‑tec Gold grade enhances wear resistance and edge stability under the cutting conditions common in steel turning, resulting in longer tool life and more consistent surface finish.

How does the MP4 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MP4 chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation and breakage at typical turning feeds and depths, reducing the risk of entangling chips and improving process reliability.

Is the triangular 60° geometry economical?
Yes; the triangular 60° shape provides three usable edges per insert and the 0.8 mm corner radius delivers a robust cutting edge suitable for finishing and semi-finishing, improving cost-efficiency per edge.
