CNMG160608-MP5 WPP20G Turning Insert — MP5 chipbreaker, Tiger‑tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The CNMG160608-MP5 WPP20G is a rhombic 80° turning insert designed for steel machining, offering a coated carbide grade optimised for reliable chip control and long tool life.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide for wear resistance
• MP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 80° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius and 0° negative clearance

Increased productivity through a wear‑resistant grade

The WPP20G grade, based on Tiger‑tec Gold technology, combines a coated carbide substrate with a wear-resistant surface that is especially suited to machining steel (ISO P). This results in a predictable tool life under typical cutting conditions and reduces the need for frequent index changes. The economic advantage is realised through longer intervals between tool changes and more consistent part quality, so cycle times and scrap rates are improved without complex process changes.

Predictable chip control and secure cutting performance

Equipped with the MP5 chipbreaker, the insert delivers controlled chip formation that supports stable cutting forces and safer swarf evacuation. The combination of chip geometry and the 0.8 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and surface finish; the relatively small corner radius reduces cutting forces while still providing sufficient edge robustness for general turning tasks. This makes the insert suitable for a broad range of finishing and light to medium roughing operations in steel.

Geometry and angles that simplify process planning

The rhombic 80° form and 0° negative clearance make the insert compatible with common turning toolholders and applications that require an economical insert shape with good reach and accessibility. The negative clearance reduces the risk of edge chipping in interrupted cuts and heavy engagement, while the 80° point angle allows effective lateral clearance. Together these characteristics reduce the number of special tools required and streamline tooling inventories for workshop planners.

Clear specification for integration into production

Key specifications such as insert size 16 mm, thickness 6 mm and tolerance class M make process data entry and tool management straightforward. The designation CNMG160608‑MP5 WPP20G identifies the geometry, thickness and chipbreaker at a glance, simplifying procurement and tool assortment. When replacing inserts, matching the MP5 chipbreaker and Tiger‑tec Gold grade ensures continuity of cutting performance and surface quality across batches.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The CNMG160608‑MP5 WPP20G insert is specified for machining steel (ISO P); the WPP20G grade is optimised for the temperatures and chip formation typical of steel turning.

What does the MP5 chipbreaker provide in practice?
The MP5 chipbreaker ensures controlled chip formation and improved swarf handling, which supports stable cutting forces and safer machining when using the CNMG160608‑MP5 WPP20G.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect cutting?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength compared with finer radii, helping to resist edge chipping while still allowing good surface finish in finishing and light roughing passes with the CNMG160608‑MP5 WPP20G.

Is the rhombic 80° shape compatible with standard toolholders?
Yes, the rhombic 80° geometry is widely supported by standard turning holders and provides good accessibility for external and some internal turning tasks when using this insert.
