CNMG120404-FP5 WPP10G indexable turning insert – Tiger·tec Gold, FP5 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

CNMG120404-FP5 WPP10G is a negative-rake, rhombic 80° turning insert optimised for ISO P steel machining and continuous production tasks

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for wear resistance
• Suitable for steel (ISO P) machining
• FP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 80° geometry with 0.4 mm corner radius

Maximum productivity with a wear-resistant grade

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade delivers extended tool life in steel turning applications. The coated carbide construction provides enhanced resistance to abrasion and built-up edge formation, which translates into longer uninterrupted cutting times and fewer tool changes. The coating technology is designed to sustain elevated cutting temperatures typical for ISO P materials, helping to preserve edge integrity and maintain consistent cycle times in serial production.

Reliable chip control and consistent surface finish

The FP5 chipbreaker and the rhombic 80° geometry provide predictable chip formation and evacuation when machining a wide range of steels. The negative clearance angle of 0° and the 0.4 mm corner radius produce stable cutting conditions that reduce vibration and improve surface integrity. Stable chips and reduced edge wear support higher feed rates where appropriate, resulting in improved process stability and a more repeatable component finish across batch runs.

Easy integration into existing tool systems

The CNMG form is widely accepted in standard turning toolholders, allowing straightforward retrofitting without special adaptors. The insert’s nominal size 12 and plate thickness 04 conform to common toolholder dimensions, while the tolerance class M supports reproducible seating and repeatable index positions. These characteristics reduce set-up time and help to keep machine downtime to a minimum, supporting lean production practices and consistent parts quality.

Targeted for production-focused steel machining

Designed for professional workshops and high-volume turning operations, this grade is most effective on unalloyed and alloyed steels as defined by ISO P. The balance of wear resistance and toughness in the cutting material makes it suitable for a range of applications from medium to demanding cutting conditions. The geometry and chip control strategy contribute to productive material removal, making the insert a pragmatic choice where uptime and predictable tool life are priorities.
