TPMT16T304-MP4 WPP20G indexable turning insert – Tiger·tec Gold grade for Stahl (Walter Tools)

TPMT16T304-MP4 WPP20G is a triangular indexable turning insert optimised for machining Stahl, offering a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness in the Tiger·tec Gold family.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide for Stahl machining
• MP4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 11° clearance angle, 0.4 mm corner radius
• Triangular 60° insert, 16 mm inscribed circle

High productivity through controlled chip formation and coating technology

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G grade delivers a wear-resistant surface that stabilises cutting-edge performance under typical steel cutting conditions. The integrated MP4 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip geometry and evacuation, which reduces interruptions caused by snarled chips and lowers tool-change frequency. For production environments where repeatability and process reliability are priorities, this insert supports a stable machining sequence and contributes to improved overall equipment effectiveness.

Precise geometry for repeatable surface quality and dimensional control

A triangular 60° geometry with an inscribed circle of 16 mm, a 0.4 mm corner radius and an 11° clearance angle ensures defined cutting engagement and a consistent profile when mounted in appropriate toolholders. The nominal thickness marked as T3 and the tolerance class M indicate stable mechanical seating and reproducible orientation, which aids in achieving consistent surface finishes and predictable tool offsets. The modest corner radius is particularly suited to finishing or semi-finishing passes where dimensional control and edge integrity are required.

Practical deployment and workshop advantages for turning operations

Designed for the ISO P application group, the grade is tailored to typical heat and chip formation patterns encountered in Stahl machining. The insert’s triangular form allows three indexing positions, increasing the number of usable cutting edges per insert and reducing tooling costs per component. Handling and changeover are straightforward due to standardised designation and form, and detailed technical data is available for process planning.
