TCMT16T308-RP4 WPP30G triangular 60° indexable insert, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel — Walter Tools

A durable TCMT16T308-RP4 WPP30G indexable insert engineered for turning and boring of steels, combining a coated carbide grade with a chipbreaker designed for productive machining.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Optimised RP4 chipbreaker for stable chips
• 60° triangular form for versatile turning applications
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise edge strength

Higher productivity through advanced coating and geometry

The insert benefits from the Tiger·tec Gold technology and the WPP30G grade, a coated carbide designed specifically for steel (ISO P). This combination increases wear resistance and extends service life under typical turning conditions, which in turn reduces tooling changes and increases machining uptime. The geometry with a 7° relief angle and the tailored edge preparation supports consistent cutting behaviour, offering a measurable improvement in process stability and economic performance.

Reliable chip control for uninterrupted production

The RP4 chipbreaker is formulated to produce controlled, consistent chips when machining steel, reducing the risk of entanglement and machine stops. The 0.8 mm corner radius contributes to edge strength and repeatable cutting results, improving workpiece surface quality while preserving tool integrity during interrupted cuts. These design elements translate into fewer interruptions and a more predictable workflow on medium to heavy turning tasks.

Straightforward integration and secure seating in toolholders

With a 60° triangular shape and a nominal size of 16, the insert fits standard TCMT-style toolholder systems and is provided in tolerance class M for reliable seating and repeatability. The plate thickness (T3) and the TRI form ensure mechanical stability during high-feed operations. Being part of the Tiger·tec Gold series, the insert is aimed at applications where broad steel coverage and consistent tool life are priorities, making it suitable for batch production and mixed-series machining.
