CNMG160612-RP5 WPP30G Drehwendeschneidplatte by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide, RP5 chipbreaker

CNMG160612-RP5 WPP30G is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert designed for machining steel under ISO P conditions, combining a wear-resistant coating with a chipbreaker tailored to steel applications

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for high wear resistance
• WPP30G grade optimised for steel machining
• RP5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Rhombic 80° form, 1.2 mm corner radius

High-performance coating and grade for demanding steel cuts

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP30G coated carbide substrate delivers elevated resistance to flank and crater wear during typical steel machining cycles. Designed for ISO P materials, this insert provides a stable cutting edge which leads to longer tool life and more consistent component quality. The RP5 chipbreaker is engineered to promote favourable chip formation when turning unalloyed and alloyed steels, reducing the need for frequent operator intervention and supporting a smoother production flow.

Geometry that supports secure cutting and predictable results

The rhombic 80° profile gives versatile approach angles and a strong cutting edge for a wide range of turning operations, from semi-finishing to robust machining. A negative rake of 0° improves stability during interrupted cuts and heavy depths of cut, while the 1.2 mm corner radius balances edge strength with achievable surface finish. Tolerance class M ensures repeatable geometry for tool-change consistency and reliable dimensional control in serial production.

Integrates into standard tooling and improves process security

The insert’s designation and form are compatible with common CNMG toolholders, enabling straightforward integration into existing turning setups. As a coated indexable insert with consistent batch properties, it supports predictable wear patterns and simplifies machining parameter development. The result is fewer unexpected stoppages, lower scrap rates and an overall increase in net productivity per machining hour.

Practical benefits and recommended applications

Optimised for machining steel, this insert performs well in general turning tasks where wear resistance and chip control determine cycle time and part quality. Use the insert for medium- to high-feed operations where the RP5 chipbreaker helps maintain manageable chips and the Tiger·tec Gold coating reduces thermal wear. The design is particularly advantageous for production environments seeking a balance between tool life and surface quality, offering a cost-effective solution through reduced insert changes and consistent finish.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CNMG160612-RP5 WPP30G is formulated for ISO P materials and is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steel machining.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating offer?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP30G grade enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, resulting in longer edge life and more consistent performance in steel turning.

How does the RP5 chipbreaker influence machining?
The RP5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation when cutting steel, which simplifies chip handling and reduces the risk of built-up edge.

What does the 0° negative rake imply for operation?
A 0° negative rake provides increased edge strength and stability during heavier cuts or interrupted machining, helping to avoid premature edge damage.

Is this insert compatible with standard CNMG toolholders?
Yes, the rhombic CNMG form and sizing are compatible with common CNMG toolholders for indexable turning applications.
