CNMG120408-MU5 WPP10G – Indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold, for Stahl (Walter Tools)

A CNMG120408-MU5 WPP10G indexable turning insert engineered for general‑purpose Stahl turning, offering reliable chip control and extended edge life in production environments.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated grade WPP10G
• MU5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Rhombic 80° geometry for stable turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 0° negative rake

Stable chip control for continuous machining

The MU5 chipbreaker combined with the Tiger‑tec Gold coating is designed to manage chips predictably during medium to heavy cuts. Controlled chip formation reduces the risk of jamming in automated setups and minimises time spent on chip clearing. The chipbreaker geometry was developed for common Stahl turning tasks and supports consistent evacuation of material, which in turn helps to maintain cycle times and reduces downtime in batch production.

Longer cutting edge life and predictable tool costs

The WPP10G grade is a coated carbide designed to extend wear resistance when machining Stahl (ISO P). The Tiger‑tec Gold technology improves thermal and chemical resistance at the cutting edge, delivering a more uniform wear pattern and longer usable life. A longer lifetime per indexable edge leads to fewer tool changes, lower tooling consumption and improved cost per component—an important factor for high‑volume manufacturing where process stability and economy are decisive.

Geometry that balances strength and versatility

The rhombic 80° insert form and a 0° (negative) rake provide a robust cutting geometry that tolerates interrupted cuts and heavy cross‑feeds. The 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, making the insert suitable for roughing and semi‑finishing operations. The inscribed circle size (12) and thickness code (04) deliver the mechanical support required for stable clamping and repeatable performance across toolholders compatible with CNMG inserts.

Process integration and handling benefits

Marked with the designation CNMG120408‑MU5 WPP10G and manufactured to tolerance class M, the insert fits standard holders and is straightforward to index, reducing setup time. The coated grade and chipbreaker combination is intended for a broad Stahl spectrum, which simplifies tool selection across mixed production runs. Walter Tools’ quality control ensures dimensional consistency and reliable interchangeability, supporting lean inventory strategies and predictable process outcomes.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CNMG120408‑MU5 WPP10G insert from Walter Tools is specified for use on Stahl (ISO P group), optimised for unalloyed and alloyed steels where controlled chip formation and thermal resistance are required.

How does the MU5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MU5 chipbreaker on this insert promotes short, manageable chips and improves evacuation in turning, which enhances process reliability when machining Stahl and reduces the likelihood of chip entanglement.

What does the CNMG120408 code mean?
The CNMG120408 code indicates a rhombic 80° insert with inscribed circle size 12 and thickness code 04; the MU5 suffix denotes the chipbreaker type used on the WPP10G grade.

Is this insert suitable for roughing and finishing?
With a 0.8 mm corner radius and robust rhombic geometry, the insert is suitable for roughing and semi‑finishing operations on Stahl, offering a balance between edge strength and achievable surface quality.
