CNMG120404-FW5 WPP10G indexable turning insert – Tiger·tec Gold, FW5 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

The CNMG120404-FW5 WPP10G is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert designed for high-performance steel machining with a negative 0° rake angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius for reliable finishing and medium-duty turning

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Grade WPP10G optimised for steel machining
• FW5 chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• Rhombic 80° shape with 0.4 mm corner radius

Consistent chip control for efficient steel turning

The insert’s FW5 chipbreaker is engineered to produce predictable, short chips when machining steel, reducing the risk of entanglement and downtime. The combination of a coated substrate and a defined chip geometry converts cutting forces into a controlled chip flow, which improves process stability on lathes and reduces the need for frequent operator intervention. For workshops aiming to increase uptime, the reliable chip break behaviour supports longer unmanned runs and more consistent surface quality.

Durable, high-performance carbide grade for productivity

The WPP10G grade, part of the Tiger·tec Gold family, is a coated carbide that balances wear resistance and toughness for general steel applications. This grade is specified for typical heat generation and chip formation encountered in steel turning, offering a compromise between long tool life and resistance to chipping. The result is a cost-efficient tool that maintains edge integrity across a range of cutting conditions, supporting higher productivity without sacrificing component tolerances.

Precision geometry for predictable finishing and repeatability

The rhombic 80° geometry with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 0° (negative) rake angle provides a stable cutting edge suited to both semi-finish and finish operations. This geometry minimises vibration and ensures consistent contact with the workpiece, delivering repeatable dimensions and good surface finish. When tight tolerances and reliable batch-to-batch consistency are required, the insert’s geometry contributes directly to predictable machining results and simpler process planning.

Process support and application suitability

This indexable insert is configured specifically for steel machining (material group P) and is supplied in the CNMG format for broad toolholder compatibility. The coated surface and grade selection make it appropriate for a wide spectrum of turning tasks, from general-purpose roughing through to precision finishing, depending on cutting data and machine rigidity. For customers seeking tailored cutting parameters or validation in specific set-ups, technical consultation is available to align the insert selection with the intended application and machine capabilities.
