CNMG120404-FP5 WPP20G indexable turning insert – Tiger·tec Gold, FP5 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

The CNMG120404-FP5 WPP20G is an indexable turning insert designed for steel turning applications, combining a coated carbide grade with an FP5 chipbreaker to ensure reliable chip control in general machining.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating WPP20G
• Rhombic 80° insert form
• FP5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Corner radius 0.4 mm for precision

Higher productivity through optimised grade and chip control

The coated-carbide WPP20G grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness tailored for ISO group P (steel). The FP5 chipbreaker is engineered for consistent chip formation across a wide range of cutting parameters, which reduces interruptions from chip-related issues and helps maintain cycle-time targets. This combination supports sustained cutting speeds with lower flank wear, improving overall process economy and reducing the need for frequent tool changes.

Robust geometry for flexible turning applications

The rhombic 80° insert form and negative 0° clearance provide a sturdy cutting edge suited to both medium and heavier machining tasks. The CNMG designation reflects a universal geometry that fits standard toolholders, while the code elements (size 12, thickness 04) indicate the insert’s nominal dimensions used for tool selection. A 0.4 mm corner radius gives a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, enabling stable cuts and repeatable part tolerances in series production.

Application benefits and operational reliability

Optimised for machining steels, the insert supports wide material coverage within group P, including unalloyed and alloyed steels where thermal and chip-formation behaviour is typical of steel cutting. The coated grade and insert design contribute to consistent tool life and predictable performance, which simplifies process planning and inventory management. As a Walter Tools product, the insert benefits from established quality control and manufacturing consistency, helping to secure reproducible results in production environments.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The CNMG120404-FP5 WPP20G insert is formulated for ISO group P, which covers a broad range of steels including unalloyed and alloyed steels.

What role does the FP5 chipbreaker play?
The FP5 chipbreaker on the CNMG120404-FP5 helps produce controllable chips and reduces interruptions from chip entanglement, improving process stability.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold grade benefit production?
Tiger·tec Gold (WPP20G) provides a balanced coating technology that increases wear resistance while retaining sufficient toughness for repeatable performance in steel turning.

Which holder geometry is compatible with this insert form?
The rhombic 80° CNMG form fits standard CNMG-compatible toolholders and is suitable for a variety of turning setups requiring an 80° cutting geometry.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect in machining?
A 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength for durable cutting while still allowing acceptable surface finish and dimensional control for many turning operations.
