VCMT160408-FP4 WPP10G – Turning insert (Tiger‑tec Gold) by Walter Tools, for steel

VCMT160408-FP4 WPP10G is a rhombic 35° indexable turning insert engineered for general steel machining, offering consistent chip control and robust edge life in production environments.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated for long tool life
• FP4 chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge

High‑performance coating and material pairing for efficient steel machining

The combination of Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness optimised for the thermal and mechanical demands of steel machining. Designed for ISO group P (steel), this indexable insert reduces flank wear and maintains cutting edge integrity during medium to high material removal rates. The coated carbide substrate improves adhesion resistance and offers predictable tool life, helping to increase machine uptime and reduce unplanned tool changes.

Precise chip control and geometry for surface quality and stability

With the FP4 chipbreaker and a rhombic 35° shape, the insert provides stable chip formation across a range of feeds and depths of cut, which supports consistent surface finishes and easier chip evacuation. The 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° free angle contribute to a robust cutting edge that resists chipping under interrupted cuts, making the insert suitable for versatile turning operations where process reliability is essential. These geometry features translate directly into fewer stoppages and higher throughput in batch and continuous production.

Production integration, handling and specification clarity

The insert is supplied in the industry standard designation VCMT160408-FP4 WPP10G, enabling straightforward selection for toolholders that accept 35° rhombic inserts. Key specifications such as plate size 16, thickness 04, and tolerance class M support predictable machine setup and repeatable positioning. For operations aiming to standardise tooling across centres, this turning insert helps simplify tool lists while maintaining performance across a broad range of unalloyed and alloyed steels.
