WCMT040202-FP4 WPP20G – Turning/boring indexable insert, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel (Walter Tools)

A WCMT040202-FP4 WPP20G indexable insert engineered for robust turning and boring of ISO P materials, combining a coated carbide grade and a purpose-designed chipbreaker to enhance process stability.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended edge life
• FP4 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Trigon 80° plate form for secure clamping
• 0.2 mm corner radius for precise contouring

Reliable machining performance for steel production

The coated-carbide grade WPP20G is optimised for the thermal and mechanical conditions encountered when machining steel. Designed within the Tiger·tec Gold family, this insert provides a balance between wear resistance and toughness, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions on the shop floor. The result is a measurable improvement in process reliability, especially for batch and continuous turning tasks where repeatable results are essential.

Predictable chip control and efficient material removal

The FP4 chipbreaker and the Tiger·tec Gold coating work together to stabilise chip formation and reduce built-up edge. This combination enables consistent chip evacuation and lowers the risk of workpiece damage or machine downtime. For production environments, the controlled chip behaviour means higher average feed rates can be sustained safely, improving cycle times without compromising surface quality. The coated surface also helps resist edge wear, contributing to long tool life and reduced tooling costs per part.

Precision geometry that supports accuracy and clamping

The insert’s Trigon 80° plate form and a 7° clearance angle provide secure seating in standard toolholders while enabling reliable cutting engagement. A 0.2 mm corner radius ensures defined contouring for dimensional stability and fine surface finishing where required. Designations such as plate size 04 and thickness 02 follow industry norms, simplifying tool selection and inventory management. Tolerance class M underlines consistent manufacturing accuracy, which supports repeatable component tolerances in series production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WCMT040202-FP4 WPP20G turning insert from Walter Tools is specified for steel (ISO group P) and is designed to handle the typical heat and chip conditions of unalloyed and alloyed steels.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP20G grade improves wear resistance and edge stability, which prolongs tool life and helps maintain consistent cutting performance during longer production runs.

For which operations is this insert intended?
This insert is intended for turning and boring tasks; the combination of Trigon 80° geometry and FP4 chipbreaker makes it suitable for general turning operations and light boring where controlled chip removal is required.

Which geometric features enhance machining accuracy?
Features such as the 0.2 mm corner radius, 7° clearance angle and the Trigon 80° form contribute to stable clamping, defined cutting engagement and improved surface finish during precision turning.

How should this insert be selected for a production process?
Selection should match the ISO material group (P for steel), the required surface quality and the toolholder system; the WCMT040202-FP4 WPP20G is a universal WPP20G grade suitable for a wide range of steel turning tasks and is recommended where a balance of wear resistance and toughness is needed.
