CNMG160612-RP7 WPP20G turning insert — Rhombic 80°, Tiger·tec Gold coating — Walter Tools

The CNMG160612-RP7 WPP20G turning insert is a rhombic 80° indexable insert designed for precision turning of steel in industrial production environments

• Rhombic 80° insert geometry
• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade
• RP7 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust cutting edges

Reliable chip control for uninterrupted productivity

The combination of the RP7 chipbreaker and the insert geometry delivers consistent chip formation, reducing risk of build-up and machine downtime. This chipbreaker is designed to manage the typical heat and chips when machining steel (ISO P group), which helps to maintain cutting stability in medium to heavy cutting conditions. The outcome is fewer interruptions for chip clearing and a steadier machining process, contributing directly to improved throughput and lower cycle-time variability.

Extended tool life thanks to Tiger·tec Gold coating

The WPP20G grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family is a coated carbide solution developed for balanced wear resistance and toughness when machining steels. The coating improves thermal stability and protects the cutting edge against abrasive wear, meaning longer intervals between index changes and fewer tool inventories. For production environments this translates into better cost efficiency per part and a more predictable tool consumption profile under mixed steel workloads.

Geometry and tolerance tailored for industrial turning

The insert’s rhombic 80° shape combined with a 1.2 mm corner radius and 0° negative rake provides a robust edge for interrupted cuts and turning operations that require repeatable edge strength. Tolerance class M supports consistent seating and predictable toolholder behaviour. These geometry choices make the insert suitable for a wide range of turning tasks on steel, from finishing to heavier roughing passes, while preserving surface quality and dimensional stability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The CNMG160612-RP7 WPP20G insert is optimised for machining steel (ISO P); the WPP20G grade balances wear resistance and toughness for common steel alloys.

What chip control can be expected with this insert?
The RP7 chipbreaker promotes stable chip formation and evacuation when turning steel, improving process reliability and reducing the need for manual chip clearing.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP20G grade increases thermal stability and edge protection, which extends tool life and delivers consistent results in production turning with Walter Tools inserts.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts or heavy roughing?
Yes — the rhombic 80° geometry, 1.2 mm corner radius and 0° negative rake give the insert a robust edge for interrupted cuts and heavier turning operations.
