CNMG160616-RP5 WPP30G turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold for steel, Walter Tools

The CNMG160616-RP5 WPP30G is a rhombic 80° turning insert designed for productive steel machining, combining a robust negative geometry with a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade for improved wear resistance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• RP5 chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• Rhombic 80° shape for versatile turning
• 1.6 mm corner radius for robust edge strength

Increase machining uptime with Tiger·tec Gold technology

The coated carbide grade WPP30G, part of the Tiger·tec Gold series, is developed for reliable performance in steel machining (ISO group P). The multilayer coating improves heat resistance and wear behaviour under the thermal loads typical of turning operations, which translates into longer edge life and fewer insert changes. By favouring stable chip formation and abrasion resistance, the coating supports sustained cutting parameters and reduces process variability, making the insert a rational choice for shops aiming to raise throughput while maintaining consistent surface quality.

Robust geometry for secure cutting and predictable results

The insert’s rhombic 80° shape and 0° (negative) free angle create a geometry that resists deformation under moderate cutting forces, while the 1.6 mm corner radius balances edge strength and form accuracy. The integrated RP5 chipbreaker is tuned for the steel machining range, promoting short, controllable chips and stable cutting conditions. The tolerance class M and the design code for thickness 06 reflect manufacturing precision and repeatability, supporting predictable tool life and dimensional consistency in serial production.

Practical benefits for workshop workflows and process setup

Designed for versatile turning tasks, this insert excels in general steel applications and is optimised for reliable chip control and good surface finish at common cutting speeds. The grade’s toughness rating supports operations where a balance between wear resistance and resilience is required, helping to avoid premature chipping. For process planning, select appropriate cutting data calibrated to the material and machining strategy; technical advisors at Metav Werkzeuge can assist with parameter tables and holder selection to ensure the insert is used within its intended operating window.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel (austenitic grades)?
This insert is specified for steel (ISO P); machining stainless steel is not defined in the provided data for the CNMG160616-RP5 WPP30G and may require a different grade or adjusted cutting data.

What are the advantages of the Tiger·tec Gold coating?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the CNMG160616-RP5 WPP30G improves heat resistance and wear performance, extending usable edge life and stabilising the cutting process when machining steels.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its effect?
The RP5 chipbreaker on this turning insert promotes controlled, short chips appropriate for steel machining, supporting safer chip evacuation and consistent surface finish.

Can this insert be used in conventional toolholders for CNMG geometry?
Yes; the CNMG form follows standard insert geometry and can be mounted in compatible holders designed for CNMG inserts, taking into account the negative geometry and required clamping.

How does the 1.6 mm corner radius influence part finish?
A 1.6 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface generation—providing robustness against chipping while maintaining good form accuracy on turned profiles.
