VCMT160408-FP4 WPP10S turning insert — Tiger‑tec Silver for steel (Walter Tools)

The VCMT160408-FP4 WPP10S is a rhombic 35° indexable turning insert designed for efficient steel machining with a coated carbide grade optimised for durability and productivity

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WPP10S
• FP4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 35° shape with 7° clearance
• 16 mm size, 0.8 mm corner radius

Longer tool life through an optimised coating and grade

The combination of Tiger‑tec Silver technology and the WPP10S cutting grade delivers a coated carbide formulation engineered for the demands of steel machining (ISO P). This composition provides improved wear resistance and a stable cutting edge under typical thermal loads encountered when turning unalloyed and alloyed steels. For production environments, that translates into fewer interruptions for insert changes and more predictable performance across batches, which supports a steady output and lower tool-related downtime.

Predictable chip control and surface quality from geometry

The FP4 chipbreaker and the rhombic 35° geometry create a controlled chip flow and consistent chip segmentation, reducing the risk of entangling chips and enabling safer, cleaner operations. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing at the flank while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances strength and finish quality. Together, these features help produce a reliable surface finish and steady cutting forces, making the insert suitable for medium to finishing turning tasks where dimensional stability and part appearance matter.

Process security and versatility for steel applications

Marked for steel machining under the ISO P classification, the insert is suitable for a broad range of steels encountered in general turning tasks. The designation and tolerance class M indicate consistent manufacturing quality, while the size and thickness data support straightforward toolholder compatibility in standard turning tool systems. Operable across routine production and jobbing shops, this indexable insert contributes to process security by combining recognised Walter Tools technology with a design aimed at repeatable results and straightforward insert indexing.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCMT160408-FP4 WPP10S insert from Walter Tools is specified for steel (ISO P), covering unalloyed and alloyed steels typically encountered in turning operations.

What benefit does the FP4 chipbreaker provide?
The FP4 chipbreaker on this turning insert improves chip control and helps produce consistent chip segments, which supports safer machining and better surface finish for turned parts.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver grade affect tool life?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WPP10S grade increase wear resistance and thermal stability during steel machining, resulting in longer tool life and more predictable replacement intervals.

Is the geometry suitable for finishing work?
Yes — the rhombic 35° form combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° clearance is designed to offer a balance between strength and finish quality, making it appropriate for medium to finishing turning operations.

Can this insert be used in standard toolholders?
The insert follows common ISO designations and dimensions (VCMT160408-FP4), allowing compatibility with standard turning toolholders that accept rhombic 35° indexable inserts.
