VBMT110304-FP6 WPP20G – Rhombus 35° turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold (Walter Tools)

A VBMT110304-FP6 WPP20G turning insert engineered for versatile steel machining, combining a Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade with an FP6 chipbreaker for reliable chip control and consistent surface quality

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide
• FP6 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Rhombus 35° insert form
• 5° clearance angle
• WPP20G: balanced wear and toughness

High-performance machining with proven carbide technology

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating on this insert brings enhanced wear resistance without sacrificing toughness, making it suitable for a broad range of steels (ISO group P). The WPP20G grade is a coated carbide formulation optimised for the typical heat and chip-forming conditions encountered in steel turning, delivering a trustworthy compromise between tool life and cutting reliability. The FP6 chipbreaker contributes to controlled chip formation, which helps to reduce interruptions and maintain steady cycle times in production environments.

Geometry engineered for repeatable quality

The rhombic 35° shape and 5° clearance provide a dependable cutting geometry for both light finishing and more demanding operations. The 0.4 mm corner radius stabilises the cutting edge and supports a consistent surface finish, while the tolerance class M ensures reproducible fit and positioning in standard toolholders. These geometric features translate into predictable part quality and simplified process setup, especially in batch production where repeatability matters.

Process security and economic advantage

By combining grade, coating and chipbreaker, the insert reduces the frequency of index changes and contributes to lower total operating costs. The coated carbide composition and Tiger‑tec Gold technology reduce flank and crater wear under the thermal loads typical of steel machining, supporting longer tool life and fewer interruptions. For operations prioritising throughput and constancy, this results in measurable gains in cutting stability and overall machining economy.

Practical integration into workshop workflows

The insert is supplied in the common VBMT footprint and the standard thickness series, enabling straightforward integration into existing tool assemblies without requiring special clamping systems. The FP6 chipbreaker helps to maintain consistent chip shape across varying depths of cut, easing swarf handling and reducing the risk of chip-related stoppages. For mixed production lines working mainly with steel, the graded versatility of this insert supports both roughing passes and fine finishing when process parameters are adjusted accordingly.
