CNMM160612-HU3 WPP05G turning insert by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold coated, for steel

CNMM160612-HU3 WPP05G is a coated carbide turning insert designed for versatile steel machining applications, combining a resilient cutting edge with controlled chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WPP05G
• Optimised for machining steel (ISO P)
• Rhombus 80° insert form for flexible turning
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust edge

Exceptional performance for steel turning with a coated grade

The WPP05G grade from the Tiger·tec Gold series is a coated carbide solution optimised for steels according to ISO 513. Its coating technology is aimed at improved wear resistance and consistent edge stability under the heat and chip conditions typical for steel machining. In practice, this means fewer interruptions for insert changes and a predictable tool life, supporting higher utilisation rates on production lathes and reduced total machining cost per part.

Geometry and chip control that stabilise the cut

The Rhombus 80° form combined with a 0° (negative) relief and the HU3 chipbreaker provides a balance between strength and versatility. The negative relief gives the insert a solid seat in the toolholder and increases edge support, while the HU3 chipbreaker assists in fragmenting and directing chips away from the cutting zone. This results in reliable chip evacuation and reduced risk of re-cutting, which is especially valuable in unattended or high-volume turning operations.

Robust edge design for reproducible surface quality

A 1.2 mm corner radius delivers a sturdy cutting edge able to withstand interrupted cuts or variations in feed. For semi-finishing and general-purpose turning of steels, this radius helps maintain dimensional stability and good surface integrity over extended runs. The combination of edge geometry and coated substrate supports consistent part-to-part results and reduces the need for frequent requalification of the process.

Practical advantages on the shop floor

The insert’s insert size 16 and thickness code 06 make it compatible with a wide range of standard CNMM toolholders, enabling rapid replacement and straightforward inventory management. As a factory-new turning indexable insert, the design focuses on repeatable mounting and predictable performance, which helps to shorten setup times and maintain throughput in mixed-batch production.

Where this insert adds value in production

For component families made from unalloyed or alloyed steel, the CNMM160612-HU3 WPP05G is a pragmatic choice where a combination of tool life, chip control and edge robustness is required. The insert supports tasks from general turning to semi-finishing; its features favour operators and process engineers who prioritise steady productivity, lower tool-change frequency and dependable surface quality. Genuine Walter Tools manufacturing ensures consistent grade allocation and traceability.
