CNMG160608-MP5 WPP10G — Rhombic 80° turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, Walter Tools

The CNMG160608-MP5 WPP10G is a rhombic 80° coated turning insert designed for steel applications, optimised for reliable chip control and extended tool life.

• Rhombic 80° geometry for versatile turning
• Tiger·tec Gold coating WPP10G for wear resistance
• MP5 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• 0.8 mm corner radius with 0° negative clearance

Consistent productivity for steel machining

The Tiger·tec Gold WPP10G grade is a coated carbide developed for machining steels (ISO group P). Its combination of a wear-resistant coating and a robust substrate reduces tool changes and increases process uptime. The coated grade is particularly effective where typical heat generation and continuous chip formation occur during steel turning. For operations seeking predictable tool life, the grade’s balance of abrasion resistance and toughness provides a favourable cost-per-component metric while maintaining dimensional stability.

Better surface quality through controlled chip formation

The MP5 chipbreaker paired with the rhombic 80° geometry is designed to produce short, manageable chips and a steady cutting force. The 0° negative clearance gives a stable cutting edge orientation that helps to reduce vibration at moderate to heavy depths of cut, resulting in improved surface finish. For operators unfamiliar with chipbreaker function: the MP5 profile shapes chip flow at the insert face so that material is evacuated reliably, reducing the risk of built-up edge and minimising interruptions in automated turning cycles.

Easy integration and predictable set-up

The insert’s dimensional series and tolerance class (M) facilitate straightforward mounting in common CNMG toolholders and indexable tool systems, simplifying stock management. Key measurable characteristics such as the 0.8 mm corner radius and the 16 inscribed circle size allow quick selection of feeds and depths of cut for both roughing and finishing steps. The geometry and grade combination supports flexible application, from general-purpose steel turning to more demanding production environments where repeatability and process security are required.
