CNMG120404-MP5 WPP20G — CNMG indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, Walter Tools

CNMG120404-MP5 WPP20G is an indexable turning insert designed for reliable steel machining in turning applications

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Robust MP5 chipbreaker for predictable chip control
• Suitable for steel (ISO 513) machining
• Rhombic 80° geometry for stable cutting

Durable coating and grade for longer service life

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G coated carbide grade provides improved wear resistance and thermal stability during turning operations on steel. This engineered surface reduces flank and crater wear, so edge integrity is maintained over longer cycles; as a result, operators benefit from fewer tool changes and less downtime. Explaining the term: a coated carbide combines a hard tungsten‑carbide substrate with one or more engineered surface layers to withstand heat and abrasion, which supports consistent component quality in serial production.

Predictable chip control and stronger cutting edge

Equipped with the MP5 chipbreaker and a 0.4 mm corner radius, the insert balances chip formation and edge strength for a broad range of cutting conditions. The chipbreaker geometry assists in producing short, controllable chips in many steel turning tasks, lowering the risk of entanglement and stabilising the cutting process. The modest corner radius increases resistance to edge chipping while keeping cutting forces manageable, which supports steady surface finish and tool life.

Geometry tuned for secure engagement and compatibility

The Rhombus 80° form and a 0° (negative) rake angle create a robust cutting geometry that suits heavier engagement and common CNMG toolholder systems. The insert dimensions — 12 mm across the cutting edge with a 4 mm nominal thickness — mean straightforward replacement in standard turning toolblocks, ensuring mechanical stability during interrupted or continuous cuts. Together, these geometric traits promote process reliability and repeatable part quality in workshop environments.

Designed for productivity and consistent results

With a focus on efficient material removal and repeatable outcomes, the Tiger·tec Gold series and the WPP20G specification deliver a versatile solution for various steels under ISO 513 classifications. The insert’s combination of coating, grade and chipbreaker supports higher uptime and predictable wear behaviour, helping production planners reduce variability and maintain cycle times. From batch work to demanding single‑piece flows, the design intent is to secure machining performance and lower total tooling effort.
