CNMG120412-MP3 WPP10G Drehwendeschneidplatte – Tiger‑tec Gold, for steel, Walter Tools

The CNMG120412-MP3 WPP10G is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert with Tiger‑tec Gold coating, optimised for reliable and productive machining of steel.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade
• MP3 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Rhombic 80° form with 1.2 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for secure turning performance

Reliable metal removal and higher productivity

The coated WPP10G grade, part of the Tiger‑tec Gold series, combines a wear-resistant carbide substrate with a high-performance coating to deliver stable cutting edge life and consistent performance when machining steel. The MP3 chipbreaker is engineered for dependable chip formation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and permitting uninterrupted production cycles. With the rhombic 80° geometry and 1.2 mm corner radius, this insert balances strength and edge stability, enabling moderate to heavy cuts while maintaining surface quality. Such technical choices reduce tool changes and support predictable cycle times on production lines.

Improved process security through geometry and seat design

A negative 0° rake provides a robust cutting edge that is less prone to chipping under interrupted cuts or unstable feeds, enhancing process security on lathes and turning centres. The insert’s CNMG form offers a versatile cutting orientation for external turning and light profiling tasks, while the MP3 chipbreaker assists controlled evacuation of swarf. Together, these features lower the incidence of tool-related stoppages and contribute to repeatable component tolerances. The result is measurable efficiency gains for batch production and single-part runs alike.

Practical selection and machining guidance

Choosing the correct insert grade and chipbreaker simplifies tool inventory and cutting parameter selection. The CNMG120412-MP3 WPP10G is specified for machining steels (ISO group P), where heat generation and chip formation are typical concerns; the combination of coated carbide and MP3 geometry supports a wide range of cutting speeds and feeds. For process setup, start with conservative feed rates and increase within tooling limits while monitoring surface finish and tool wear. Metav Werkzeuge can provide recommended cutting data tailored to the machine, workpiece material and machining strategy.
