VCMT110304-FP4 WPP10G — Indexable turning insert for steel | Walter Tools

VCMT110304-FP4 WPP10G is an indexable turning insert designed for general steel turning applications, delivering consistent edge stability and efficient chip control in serial production.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP10G
• FP4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 35° geometry with 0.4 mm corner radius

Raise productivity through a tougher coated grade and consistent edge life

The Tiger·tec Gold technology combined with the WPP10G grade provides a coated carbide solution engineered for the thermal and mechanical demands of steel machining. The specialised coating increases wear resistance and stabilises the cutting edge, which translates to longer intervals between index changes and fewer unscheduled tool swaps. For production environments, this means improved uptime and lower unit cost per component. The hard-wearing surface also resists built-up edge formation, thereby supporting more constant dimensional results over longer running times.

Achieve predictable chip formation and surface finish with an optimised geometry

The FP4 chipbreaker and rhombic 35° outline deliver controlled chip flow and reduced cutting forces when machining steels. The insert’s 0.4 mm corner radius helps maintain a robust cutting edge for light to medium finishing passes, improving surface quality while reducing the risk of chipping. The 7° relief angle provides effective clearance behind the cutting edge, preventing rubbing and heat build-up during interrupted cuts. These combined geometry features enable a balance between process stability and the ability to run at productive cutting parameters in batch and continuous turning operations.

Versatile use in steel turning with clear process benefits

Designed for the ISO material group P, the insert is suitable for a wide range of unalloyed and alloyed steels commonly encountered in workshops and production facilities. The VCMT110304-FP4 WPP10G insert’s format and thickness support secure clamping in standard indexable toolholders, offering predictable repeatability and straightforward index changes. Because the grade and geometry are tuned for steel, operations benefit from fewer tool trials during setup and a faster ramp-up to optimal cutting conditions, helping to shorten cycle times and reduce scrap rates.
