WCMT080408-RP4 WPP20G indexable insert — Tiger‑tec Gold grade for steel | Walter Tools

The WCMT080408-RP4 WPP20G is an ISO WCMT trigon insert designed for stable turning and boring of steel components in medium‑tolerance production environments.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cuts
• RP4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 7° clearance

Increased productivity through optimised wear resistance

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WPP20G cutting grade provides a marked improvement in tool life and process consistency when machining steel (ISO P). The coated carbide composition reduces abrasive and adhesive wear, which means fewer tool changes and steadier cycle times across production batches. This performance translates into measurable economic benefits: more parts produced between indexings and reduced unplanned stoppages. The grade is balanced to offer both hardness for wear resistance and toughness for stable performance, supporting continuous operation under typical turning feeds and depths.

Reliable chip control and repeatable surface quality

The trigon 80° geometry combined with the RP4 chipbreaker ensures controlled chip formation and evacuation in general steel turning. The modest 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° relief angle contribute to secure edge engagement and reduced vibration, promoting uniform surface finish and consistent tolerances. These geometric choices also improve seat stability in ISO WCMT toolholders, enabling predictable cutting forces and enhancing part reproducibility. For shops prioritising process reliability, the insert’s geometry reduces the risk of built‑up edge and facilitates automated chip handling.

Straightforward integration into existing turning operations

Designed as an ISO WCMT indexable insert, this product fits standard toolholders and can be introduced without modifications to existing tool systems. The execution code T and the Tiger‑tec Gold family designation make the grade easy to match with machining strategies aimed at steel materials. As the insert is aimed at the P material group, it is suitable for a wide range of unalloyed and alloyed steels, supporting production and general finishing tasks. For technical decisions such as cutting data or seat compatibility, Metav Werkzeuge’s consultants provide application‑oriented advice and can supply test recommendations to align the insert with specific machine and workpiece conditions.
