CNMG160608‑RP5 WPP30G – indexable turning insert for steel, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The CNMG160608‑RP5 WPP30G is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert designed for efficient machining of steel with a balanced wear‑resistance and toughness profile.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• RP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 80° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge stability

Maximise productivity with reliable chip control

The Tiger·tec Gold WPP30G grade pairs a wear‑resistant coating with a tough substrate to balance life and edge security when machining steels (ISO group P). The RP5 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips across common turning operations, reducing downtime for chip handling and supporting uninterrupted production cycles. For workshop planners this means consistent cycle times and reduced tool changes, which directly improves process efficiency and throughput. The coated carbide construction provides abrasion resistance while the grade composition maintains edge integrity under variable cutting conditions.

Consistent process results and straightforward integration

With a rhombic 80° form and a 0° negative clearance geometry, the insert provides stable engagement and repeatable cutting behaviour in a range of turning setups. The corner radius of 0.8 mm offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish capability, enabling effective roughing and stable finishing passes where required. The tolerance class M supports compatibility with standard toolholders and clamping systems; the insert's designation and geometry align with common CNMG toolholder designs, easing inventory management and tool change routines. This predictability supports high process reliability and reduces qualification effort when integrating the insert into existing tool families.

Practical selection guidance and material scope

The grade is formulated especially for steel applications and covers a broad spectrum of unalloyed and alloyed steels. The combination of chipbreaker, coating technology and insert geometry makes it suitable for general turning tasks where a balance of productivity and tool life is required. When selecting machining parameters, consider the RP5 chip control for medium to heavy depth of cut and moderate feed ranges; when surface quality is critical, use reduced feeds and light final passes to exploit the coated edge condition.
