1.6 mm nose radius; 0° negative rake

Increased productivity through a wear-resistant grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade delivers a well-balanced mix of wear resistance and toughness tailored for steel applications. This coated carbide composition is engineered to handle the heat and specific chip formation encountered when machining steels, which leads to longer tool life and fewer tool changes. By reducing unplanned stops and downtime, the insert contributes directly to a more efficient production flow and predictable batch outcomes.

Reliable chip control that simplifies downstream processes

The RP5 chipbreaker has been developed to produce short, controllable chips in a wide range of steel turning tasks. Stable chip formation reduces the risk of entanglement, improves surface consistency and lowers the need for secondary cleaning or rework. For operations focused on cycle time and reproducible quality, the controlled chips help maintain throughput while protecting both the workpiece and the machine tool.

Geometry engineered for strength and versatility

The Rhombic 80° shape combined with a 0° (negative) rake angle increases edge strength for heavier cuts and interrupted operations. The 1.6 mm corner radius offers a balance between robustness and the ability to produce acceptable surface finishes on external profiles and shoulders. Where process reliability and tool security are priorities—for example, mixed batch production or roughing passages—this geometry supports stable cutting forces and consistent results.

Practical handling and process guidance

Designed as a standard ISO-style insert, this plate is simple to index and replace, reducing setup time and improving machine uptime. The grade’s focus on steel machining means it performs well across unalloyed and alloyed steels, giving workshop planners a dependable option for general turning tasks. For additional guidance on parameters or integration into an existing toolset, technical consultation is available; contact details are provided for further specification or process-adaptive advice.
