CNMG160616-RP5 WPP05G — Turning indexable insert, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel

CNMG160616-RP5 WPP05G is a Tiger·tec Gold coated rhombic 80° indexable insert designed for productive turning of steel components, combining a reliable RP5 chipbreaker with a 1.6 mm corner radius.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• RP5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 80° rhombic form, 1.6 mm corner radius
• Designed for steel machining (ISO P)

Higher productivity through advanced coating and substrate

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating with a wear-resistant carbide substrate delivers measurable improvements in process reliability and tool life. The coated hardmetal grade WPP05G is tuned for steel machining and balances hardness and toughness to resist flank wear while maintaining edge strength. For production environments where predictable performance is essential, this cutting grade reduces unplanned tool changes and supports stable machining parameters, thus contributing to a smoother production flow and lower overall machining costs.

Precise chip control and stable cutting geometry

Equipped with the RP5 chipbreaker, the insert ensures controlled chip formation across a wide range of cutting conditions typical for ISO P materials. The 80° rhombic form and a 1.6 mm corner radius provide a robust cutting edge that tolerates interrupted cuts and moderate depths of cut, while the 0° (negative) rake contributes to edge strength under heavy loads. Together, these geometric features improve surface integrity and reduce the risk of built-up edge during continuous turning tasks.

Application-specific suitability and material coverage

This indexable plate is formulated primarily for steel applications (ISO P), making it suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steels where typical heat generation and chip behaviour are encountered. The WPP05G grade is characterised by a balanced performance profile—offering wear resistance for longer runs and sufficient toughness for tougher cutting conditions—so the insert is appropriate for both serial production and demanding single-part machining where quality and repeatability matter.

Integration into tooling systems and handling advantages

The insert designation and mounting geometry follow standard industry practice, allowing straightforward integration into compatible toolholders for turning operations. The CNMG160616-RP5 geometry simplifies tool inventory management while providing a versatile solution for a range of turning tasks. Handling and indexing are rapid, enabling quick replacement and minimising machine downtime—advantages that support lean production workflows and predictable throughput.
