TCMT16T308-RP4 WPP10G triangular indexable insert for Stahl machining — Walter Tools

TCMT16T308-RP4 WPP10G is a triangular indexable insert designed for drilling, boring and turning applications where stable cutting performance in Stahl is required

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for improved wear resistance
• WPP10G grade optimised for Stahl machining
• RP4 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Triangle 60° shape for three effective cutting edges

Longer tool life and consistent edge stability

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G cemented carbide composition provides elevated wear resistance and a balanced toughness-to-hardness ratio. Designed specifically for machining Stahl, the grade absorbs the heat and manages typical chip formation, which reduces flank wear and extends service intervals. The result is fewer insert changes and more predictable component quality, supporting continuous, efficient production.

Predictable chip control for reliable production

The engineered RP4 chipbreaker delivers repeatable chip shaping across common cutting conditions, reducing the risk of tangling and improving swarf evacuation in drilling and boring operations. The triangular 60° form gives three indexed cutting edges per insert, enabling quick rotation to a fresh edge and lowering tooling costs per cutting length. These features together enable steady cycle times and minimise process interruptions on the shop floor.

Compact geometry for flexible setup and process stability

With a 16 mm size, T3 thickness and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert balances edge strength with accessibility in tighter toolholders. The nominal 7° clearance angle supports secure cutting geometry and stable engagement in turning and boring applications. Manufactured to tolerance class M, the insert ensures reproducible seating and repeatable cutting behaviour, which aids toolpath planning and reduces fixture adjustments during serial production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is specified for machining Stahl; the WPP10G grade and Tiger·tec Gold technology are tuned to typical heat and chip behaviour when cutting Stahl.

How does the RP4 chipbreaker affect performance?
The RP4 chipbreaker shapes chips reliably to improve evacuation during drilling and turning, which helps maintain consistent cutting conditions and reduces downtime.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular 60° geometry provides three indexable cutting edges, allowing quick rotation to a fresh edge and efficient use of the insert.

Is this insert compatible with standard toolholders for TCMT geometry?
The TCMT form follows common indexable insert standards; compatibility depends on the specific toolholder clamping and seat design—verify holder seating for TCMT16 geometry.
