TCMT16T312-RP4 WPP20G – indexable turning/drilling insert, for Stahl — Walter Tools

The TCMT16T312-RP4 WPP20G is a 60° triangular, coated carbide indexable insert from the Tiger·tec Gold series, designed for robust turning and drilling tasks in general Stahl applications.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for high productivity
• WPP20G coated carbide, universal for Stahl
• 60° triangular insert with 1.2 mm corner radius
• RP4 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 7° relief angle, T3 plate thickness

Consistent productivity through advanced grade and chip control

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness that is specifically tailored to Stahl machining. The coating reduces flank wear and improves heat resistance, while the RP4 chipbreaker ensures controlled chip formation across a wide range of cutting parameters. This results in fewer tool changes and a steadier production rhythm, helping to reduce cycle-time variability and increase overall process efficiency.

Rigid geometry for reliable repeatability and surface quality

The triangular 60° format with a 1.2 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle delivers stable cutting edges and predictable engagement under intermittent loads. The insert’s T3 thickness enhances clamping rigidity, minimising chatter and improving dimensional repeatability. For applications where consistent surface finish and tight tolerances are required, this geometry supports stable cutting conditions and reduces secondary operations.

Simple integration into existing tool systems and predictable tool life

Designed as a direct replacement for standard TCMT-style holders, the insert is easy to index and fits common tooling systems, simplifying inventory and changeover. The coated carbide construction offers a reliable tool life profile for medium-duty turning and boring tasks in Stahl, leading to measurable cost advantages in batch production. The TCMT16T312-RP4 WPP20G pairs well with standard coolant strategies and is suitable for a range of feeds and speeds in everyday workshop environments.
