TCMT16T308-MP6 WPP10G – Triangle 60° turning insert with Tiger·tec Gold for steel (Walter Tools)

A TCMT16T308-MP6 WPP10G turning insert engineered for productive steel machining with a robust chipbreaker and wear‑resistant coating.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• MP6 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Triangle 60° form with 0.8 mm nose radius
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting

High process reliability through targeted chip control

The combination of the MP6 chipbreaker and the Tiger·tec Gold coating delivers consistent chip control and extended tool life in steel turning. The chipbreaker is designed to produce short, controllable chips under the typical thermal and mechanical loads encountered when machining unalloyed and alloyed steel, which reduces interruptions and cleaning time at the machine. The Tiger·tec Gold technology is a coated carbide solution optimised for a balance of wear resistance and toughness, so tool changes are less frequent and machining flows remain smooth. This results in measurable gains in throughput and a reduction in unscheduled downtime.

Geometry tailored for repeatable accuracy and surface quality

The triangle 60° shape with a 0.8 mm nose radius and 7° clearance angle provides a stable cutting edge that supports both roughing and finishing passes within typical shop workflows. The modest nose radius helps achieve a good compromise between strength and surface finish: it resists chipping while producing a controllable profile on the workpiece. The tolerance class M and plate thickness T3 contribute to secure clamping and consistent seating in tool holders, so dimensional repeatability is improved across indexings. For operators less familiar with insert geometry: the clearance angle prevents rubbing of the flank face, while the nose radius affects the machined edge form and load distribution at the tip.

Application guidance and choice considerations for steel machining

Designed for the ISO P group, this indexable insert suits machining of a wide range of steels where a blend of wear resistance and toughness is required. The WPP10G grade specifically targets typical steel turning conditions, offering good wear performance on continuous cuts and acceptable toughness in interrupted cuts. When selecting cutting parameters, prioritise stable clamping and appropriate coolant or lubrication strategy to leverage the coating benefits. For process optimisation or when machining less common alloys, Metav Werkzeuge provides application support and can recommend holder and parameter combinations to maximise productivity with this insert.
