CNMG120416-RP7 WPP20G – Turning insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating for steel (Walter Tools)

The CNMG120416-RP7 WPP20G is an indexable turning insert engineered for productive, reliable machining of steel components, offering a rhombic 80° geometry and a coated-carbide grade optimised for chip control and wear resistance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP20G
• Rhombic 80° geometry for stable cutting
• 1.6 mm corner radius for robust edge life
• 0° negative rake for heavy cutting

Higher throughput when machining steel with coated Tiger·tec Gold

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G grade provides elevated thermal and abrasive resistance, designed specifically for the ISO P material group. This configuration improves chip formation and reduces flank wear under typical steel cutting temperatures, enabling longer tool life and reduced tooling costs per component. The coated-carbide substrate maintains dimensional stability across varied cutting regimes, supporting consistent cycle times and fewer insert changes on production lines.

Stable cutting performance from geometry and edge design

The rhombic 80° geometry with a 1.6 mm corner radius and 0° negative rake yields a balanced mix of strength and accessibility to the cut. The geometry resists chipping during interrupted cuts and heavy engagement, while the corner radius offers a compromise between durability and surface finish. The integrated RP7 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip flow in longitudinal turning, helping to maintain process stability and reliable surface quality with fewer manual interventions.

Versatility, handling and process support for workshop use

Tolerance class M and the proven Tiger·tec Gold series make this insert suitable for a broad range of steel applications, from unalloyed to alloyed steels as classified under ISO P. The insert’s specification supports both high-feed roughing and controlled finishing operations when paired with appropriate cutting parameters.
