CNMM160612-HU5 WPP10G - Indexable Turning Insert, Tiger·tec Gold, Walter Tools

The CNMM160612-HU5 WPP10G is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert engineered for steel machining, offering a coated-carbide grade optimised for wear resistance and process stability.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• Optimised HU5 chipbreaker
• Rhombus 80° geometry
• 1.2 mm corner radius for edge stability

Increased productivity through proven coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and a coated carbide substrate delivers a significant improvement in wear resistance and consistent tool life. The WPP10G grade is developed specifically for machining steel (P) and balances abrasive wear resistance with toughness to withstand long production cycles. Coating technology reduces friction at the cutting edge, which in practice allows for higher cutting speeds and fewer insert changes, translating to tangible cycle-time savings on repetitive turning operations. For process engineers, this means a predictable tool-change interval and improved machine utilisation.

Reliable chip control and edge security for stable results

The integrated HU5 chipbreaker and Rhombus 80° form support effective chip formation and evacuation under typical steel-cutting conditions. The insert’s 1.2 mm corner radius enhances edge strength and reduces the risk of chipping during depth changes or interrupted cuts. A 0° relief angle (negative) offers a robust cutting edge suited to heavier cuts and applications where a stable edge is preferred over aggressive shear. For operators with limited experience in insert geometry, the chipbreaker design simplifies parameter selection: it moderates chip shape and helps maintain a consistent surface finish across successive components.

Practical advantages for workshop integration and setup

This indexable insert conforms to the standard designation CNMM160612-HU5 WPP10G, making it compatible with common CNMM toolholders and straightforward to specify in production planning. The size indicator (16) and thickness code (06) align with typical tooling inventories, reducing the need for bespoke holders. The tolerance class M ensures consistent seat fit and repeatability when mounting and indexing inserts. Where material specification lists denote group P, the insert should be selected for unalloyed and alloyed steels; the grade distribution supports a range from wear-prone to tougher steel families. For process optimisation, the insert’s combination of grade and geometry focuses on predictable cutting behaviour and reduced scrap rates.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining steel?
Yes. The CNMM160612-HU5 WPP10G is specified for the ISO group P and is optimised for unalloyed and alloyed steels using the Tiger·tec Gold coated-carbide grade.

What advantages does the HU5 chipbreaker offer?
The HU5 chipbreaker promotes reliable chip formation and evacuation in steel turning, supporting consistent surface quality and reducing the risk of long, entangling chips.

What are the key dimensions and tolerance of the insert?
The insert has a size designation of 16, thickness code 06, a 1.2 mm corner radius, and tolerance class M; these values provide repeatable seating and edge security when re-indexing.

Can this insert handle interrupted cuts or heavier depths of cut?
Yes. The 0° relief angle (negative) and the robust geometry provide a resilient cutting edge suitable for interrupted cuts and more demanding turning conditions.
