CNMG120412-MW5 WPP10G – Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold for steel | Walter Tools

A CNMG120412-MW5 WPP10G insert designed for reliable steel turning, combining Tiger·tec Gold coating with the MW5 chipbreaker for stable, repeatable machining.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• MW5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 80° CNMG geometry for versatile turning
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust edge strength

Improve cycle time with a coated, wear-resistant grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade delivers a measurable increase in process stability when working with steel. The coated carbide substrate reduces flank wear and improves thermal resistance, which, in practice, means longer service intervals for the insert and fewer tool changes during production. This results in higher machine utilisation and a more predictable tool-life profile for batch and continuous turning operations.

Robust geometry for consistent chip control and edge security

The CNMG rhombic 80° geometry, paired with the MW5 chipbreaker, is engineered to maintain stable chip formation across a range of cutting parameters. The negative 0° relief angle and the substantial 1.2 mm corner radius increase resistance to mechanical shock and improve edge strength during interrupted cuts. As a result, the insert offers dependable performance for finishing and medium-turning tasks where repeatable surface quality and process security are priorities.

Application-focused design that simplifies tool selection

Designed for the ISO P material group, the insert is optimised for unalloyed and alloyed steel, handling typical heat generation and chip behaviour in these materials. The insert’s geometry and coating combination reduce the need for frequent parameter adjustments, supporting faster setup and consistent surface finish. For workshops seeking a balance between productivity and tool life, this indexable insert provides an economical route to stable turning results without sacrificing component quality.
