VBMT160404-MP6 WPP10G indexable turning insert — Rhombus 35°, for Stahl (Walter Tools)

The VBMT160404-MP6 WPP10G is an indexable turning insert engineered for precision turning of Stahl, combining the Tiger·tec Gold coating with an optimised MP6 chipbreaker for stable, productive machining.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Optimised MP6 chipformer for consistent chips
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise finishes

Longer productive life through advanced coating

The Tiger·tec Gold coating provides a durable, wear‑resistant surface that reduces flank wear and thermal stress during continuous turning of Stahl. This coated cemented carbide grade, identified as WPP10G, is balanced for a mix of wear resistance and toughness, which helps maintain cutting-edge stability and extend usable life in demanding production environments. The result is fewer tool changes, predictable reconditioning intervals and improved overall process economy.

Reliable chip control and stable cutting process

The MP6 chipformer is designed to generate consistent, short chips under typical turning conditions for Stahl, reducing entanglement and improving swarf evacuation. Stable chip formation directly supports higher feed rates and uninterrupted cycles, which enhances throughput. In practice, this means a more predictable machining window and reduced risk of surface damage, supporting steady production and easier automation integration.

Geometry tuned for accuracy and surface quality

The rhombic 35° insert shape paired with a 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a balance between robustness and fine finishing capability. The insert’s geometry supports accurate contouring and controlled engagement with the workpiece, producing improved surface integrity on turned parts. Combined with the insert’s tolerance class M, operators can expect repeatable performance across tool changes and consistent part quality in batch production.
