CNMG120412-MU5 WPP05G – Indexable turning insert for Stahl, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The CNMG120412-MU5 WPP05G is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert designed for general Stahl turning, featuring the Tiger·tec Gold coating and a dedicated MU5 chipbreaker.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for increased tool life
• MU5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Rhombic 80° form with 1.2 mm corner radius
• Designed for Stahl machining (ISO P)

Increase throughput with wear-resistant grade and stable cutting action

The Tiger·tec Gold grade WPP05G delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness that supports higher cutting parameters with predictable performance. As a coated carbide grade optimised for Stahl (ISO P), the insert provides extended tool life under varying cutting conditions, reducing the frequency of tool changes and unplanned downtime. The WPP05G composition is developed to cope with the thermal and mechanical demands typical of steel turning, meaning improved productivity without sacrificing surface quality.

Maintain process reliability through controlled chip formation

The MU5 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips in a wide range of turning operations, which contributes to safer, cleaner machining cycles and less interruption to production. Combined with the Rhombic 80° geometry and 1.2 mm corner radius, the insert offers consistent engagement and reproducible cutting forces that help to secure dimensional stability on turned components. The negative 0° rake promotes a robust cutting edge for heavier cuts while the chip control geometry reduces the risk of entanglement in automated or bar-feeding applications.

Easy tooling integration and predictable results in daily use

The ISO-style designation and compact form factor of this insert simplify its integration into established tooling systems; the CNMG format is widely compatible with standard tool holders for external turning. The combination of the grade, chipbreaker and insert form results in a solution that is suitable for a wide spectrum of Stahl applications—from medium to general-purpose turning—allowing process planners to standardise on a single insert for multiple operations. Clear handling and repeatable performance improve shop-floor efficiency and support consistent part quality.
