VCMT160404-RP4 WPP30G — Turning indexable insert, Tiger·tec Gold coating, RP4 chipbreaker | Walter Tools

The VCMT160404-RP4 WPP30G is a rhombic 35° turning insert designed for ISO P applications, offering a coated-carbide grade for robust steel machining with a 0.4 mm corner radius.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for longer life
• Optimised for steel machining (ISO P)
• RP4 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Rhombic 35° form, 0.4 mm corner radius

Improved uptime through advanced coating and grade

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP30G grade provides a marked improvement in wear resistance and thermal stability during turning of steel. The coated-carbide substrate resists abrasion and edge degradation, which reduces the frequency of tool changes and thus contributes to higher machine uptime. In serial production environments this translates into fewer interruptions and more predictable process windows, supporting cost-efficient machining and consistent part quality.

Consistent surface quality thanks to precise geometry

The insert’s rhombic 35° geometry, 7° clearance angle and 0.4 mm corner radius are tailored to deliver stable cutting engagement and predictable chip flow. The moderate corner radius supports good surface finish while maintaining cutting-edge strength; the RP4 chipbreaker helps to form short, controllable chips in typical steel operations. Tolerance class M ensures interchangeability across toolholders and repeatable results in batch production.

Practical advantages for tool management and process security

Designed in the widely used VCMT format, the insert simplifies inventory and toolholder compatibility, easing logistics and tool change procedures. The RP4 chipbreaker and the coating’s thermal resilience reduce unexpected tool wear and improve process security. For production planners and toolroom managers, this means fewer emergency replacements and improved machining consistency, making the insert a pragmatic choice for demanding turning tasks in steel.
