CNMG120412-RP5 WPP10G Turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold grade for steel, Walter Tools

A CNMG120412-RP5 WPP10G indexable turning insert engineered for reliable steel machining with RP5 chip control and robust 80° rhombic geometry

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide WPP10G
• RP5 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Rhombic 80° CNMG geometry for stable turning
• 1.2 mm corner radius for enhanced edge strength

Increased productivity through optimised coating and chip control

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the RP5 chipbreaker focuses on reducing tooling downtime and stabilising the cutting process when machining steels. The coating technology improves wear resistance under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of steel turning, while the chip geometry promotes predictable fragmentation and evacuation. This results in higher average metal removal rates and fewer interrupted cycles, supporting tighter production schedules and lower scrap rates.

Geometry tailored for heavy cutting and stable tool life

The CNMG rhombic 80° form combined with a 0° (negative) relief and a 1.2 mm nose radius provides mechanical strength at the cutting edge and rigidity in interrupted cuts. The geometry reduces edge chipping and offers improved support for deeper cuts, translating into consistent surface quality and repeatable dimensional control. Robust insert geometry is particularly advantageous in batch machining or when facing variable workpiece conditions.

Versatile WPP10G grade optimised for steels (ISO P)

The WPP10G grade is a coated carbide developed for the ISO P material group, emphasising a balance between wear resistance and toughness. Classified for steel machining, the grade covers applications from wear‑resistant to more universal and tougher steel types, ensuring flexible use across a production line. The designation underlines suitability for typical heat generation and chip formation encountered when turning unalloyed and alloyed steels.

Practical integration and workshop benefits

With standard CNMG dimensions and a compact profile, the insert fits common toolholders and tool systems designed for rhombic 80° inserts; tolerance class M supports interchangeability and repeatable positioning. The compact thickness code and nominal size facilitate inventory management and replacement cycles in production environments. The insert’s features reduce rework and support operational planning by delivering stable cutting conditions and predictable insert life for series production.
