VCMT160408-MP4 WPP10G indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — for steel turning with Tiger·tec Gold coating

VCMT160408-MP4 WPP10G is a rhombic 35° indexable insert designed for general steel machining, offering a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness for stable, productive turning operations

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended life
• Optimised MP4 chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius with 7° relief angle

Consistent productivity through a balanced coating and grade

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with the WPP10G grade provides a controlled wear profile that benefits series production and mixed-batch work. The coated cemented carbide construction gives a higher resistance to thermal and abrasive wear, which translates into more predictable tool life and fewer tool changes. For workshops machining unalloyed and alloyed steel, this combination reduces downtime and supports tighter process windows, allowing machines to run longer at stable cutting parameters.

Reliable chip control that simplifies process setup

Equipped with the MP4 chipbreaker, the insert produces short, manageable chips in typical steel applications, improving both safety and component quality. The chipformer is engineered to guide swarf away from the cutting zone, which lowers the risk of surface damage and protects the tool edge. This technical advantage means setup times are reduced and monitoring becomes simpler, contributing directly to higher throughput and fewer interrupted cycles on lathe or turning centres.

Geometry and edge preparation for versatile turning tasks

The rhombic 35° insert profile, together with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle, offers a good compromise between strength and accessibility. This geometry enables both roughing and light finishing cuts without frequent insert changes, supporting flexible production strategies. The medium corner radius helps dampen vibration on interrupted cuts while maintaining acceptable surface finishes, making the insert suitable for a broad range of turning operations on steel components.
