CNMG120416-RP5 WPP30G turning insert — Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide for steel, Walter Tools

CNMG120416-RP5 WPP30G is a coated turning insert designed for precision steel machining with reliable chip control and extended tool life

• CNMG 80° rhombic insert, 1.6 mm corner radius
• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP30G
• Optimised RP5 chipbreaker for steel turning
• Negative 0° rake for stable roughing cuts

High wear resistance for industrial steel turning

The Tiger‑tec Gold technology combined with the WPP30G grade provides a coated carbide surface engineered for consistent performance when machining steels. This coating reduces abrasive wear and improves thermal resistance, which leads to longer cutting edge life and fewer insert changes. For production environments where uptime matters, the result is a measurable increase in machining efficiency and reduced tooling costs per component.

Geometry that delivers process security and chip control

The CNMG rhombic 80° geometry with a 1.6 mm corner radius and negative 0° rake angle offers robust cutting behaviour, particularly for interrupted or heavy cuts. The RP5 chipbreaker is optimised for steady chip formation when cutting steel (ISO P), enabling predictable material evacuation and minimised risk of built‑up edge. This combination supports stable roughing and medium finishing operations with improved dimensional repeatability.

Designed for versatility on a wide range of steels

Classified for ISO P applications, this insert is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steels commonly encountered in general engineering. The WPP30G sort balances wear resistance and toughness so that the insert copes with varying cutting conditions while maintaining edge integrity. In practice, this means fewer tool changes during batch runs and more consistent surface quality across workpieces.

Practical identification and installation for workshop use

The insert is designated CNMG120416-RP5 WPP30G, tolerance class M, and belongs to the Tiger‑tec Gold series — details that simplify inventory control and toolholder selection. The plate form (rhombus 80°) and thickness code facilitate straightforward mounting in standard turning toolholders. For tailored cutting data or to confirm compatibility with specific toolholders and turning centres, Metav Werkzeuge provides application advice and technical data sheets.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The CNMG120416-RP5 WPP30G insert is optimised for steels (ISO P); the WPP30G grade and Tiger‑tec Gold coating are designed to manage the heat and chip formation typical of steel machining.

How does the RP5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The RP5 chipbreaker on the CNMG120416-RP5 WPP30G promotes controlled chip formation during turning of steel, improving evacuation and reducing the chance of entanglement or built‑up edge.

Can this insert be used for roughing and finishing?
Yes; the combination of a 1.6 mm corner radius and negative 0° rake provides robustness for roughing while still allowing medium finishing passes when appropriate parameters are selected for the CNMG120416-RP5 WPP30G.

What benefits does the Tiger‑tec Gold coating provide?
Tiger‑tec Gold on the WPP30G grade enhances wear resistance and thermal stability during steel machining, resulting in longer tool life and more consistent part quality.

How are the inserts identified for stock and replacement?
Inserts are identified by the full designation CNMG120416-RP5 WPP30G; this simplifies ordering, inventory and matching to compatible turning toolholders.
