• Grade WPP20G optimised for steel
• FP5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0.4 mm corner radius, 80° rhombic shape

Reliable performance for steel turning with predictable tool life

The CNMG090304-FP5 WPP20G turning insert is engineered to deliver consistent cutting performance in the ISO P material group (steel). The combination of a Tiger·tec Gold coating and a coated carbide substrate provides improved resistance to wear and thermal loading, which translates into longer tool life and fewer index changes during production. For operations where cycle time and repeatability matter, the coated grade reduces unplanned interruptions and helps maintain throughput.

Coating and grade technology that increases productivity

The Tiger·tec Gold technology used for the WPP20G grade offers a balanced mix of hardness and toughness suitable for typical steel machining. This coating reduces abrasive wear and improves edge stability, so the insert tolerates the heat and forces typical when turning unalloyed or alloyed steels. As a result, machining windows can be widened and average cutting speeds increased within recommended limits, supporting a measurable gain in productivity without sacrificing surface quality.

Stable chip control and improved surface finishes

The FP5 chipbreaker geometry and the 0° negative clearance deliver controlled chip formation and evacuation under a variety of cutting conditions. The 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and the capacity to produce a fine surface finish on turned components. Together, the rhombic 80° shape and the chipbreaker reduce the likelihood of built-up edge and erratic chip behaviour, which lowers the need for rework and improves first-pass part quality.

Practical fitment and application notes for production use

Designed for straightforward integration into modular toolholders that accept CNMG inserts, this indexable insert supports efficient tool management in batch and single-part production. The WPP20G grade is classified for steel applications, offering universal suitability across a broad range of steel types. With a tolerance class of M and a plate thickness corresponding to the designation, the insert is suitable for medium and general-purpose turning tasks where a balance of economy and performance is required.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The CNMG090304-FP5 WPP20G insert is optimised for the ISO P material group and is particularly suitable for turning unalloyed and alloyed steels.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating affect performance?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP20G grade improves wear resistance and edge stability, which extends tool life and enables more consistent machining in steel applications.

What benefit does the FP5 chipbreaker provide?
The FP5 chipbreaker delivers stable chip formation and reliable evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving surface finish consistency on turned parts.

Is the 0° negative clearance suitable for interrupted cuts?
The 0° negative clearance increases edge strength and stability, making the insert more robust in heavier or interrupted cutting conditions while maintaining good cutting geometry for steel.

Can this insert be used in standard CNMG toolholders?
Yes, the CNMG090304-FP5 WPP20G conforms to the CNMG ISO designation and fits holders designed for CNMG-format inserts.
