CNMM160612-HU5 WPP20G – Turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold coating, HU5 chipbreaker, for steel | Walter Tools

The CNMM160612-HU5 WPP20G is a negative‑rake rhombic 80° turning insert designed for efficient steel turning with stable chip control and predictable tool life

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide
• Optimised HU5 chipbreaker
• Rhombic 80° form, 1.2 mm radius
• Negative 0° rake for robust cuts

Increased productivity for demanding steel turning

The Tiger‑tec Gold grade delivers a coated carbide system that is optimised for the thermal and mechanical stresses of steel machining, which means longer tool life and fewer interruptions. The grade WPP20G is tuned for a balance between wear resistance and toughness, suitable for a wide range of steels according to ISO 513. By choosing this geometry and coating combination, shops achieve more consistent cycle times and reduced tool consumption, contributing directly to improved process efficiency and predictable output.

Reliable chip control and surface finish with engineered geometry

The integrated HU5 chipbreaker and the rhombic 80° form ensure stable chip formation under typical turning conditions, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and tool vibration. A 1.2 mm corner radius supports edge strength for medium to heavy cuts while maintaining an acceptable surface quality, so operators obtain both robust cutting performance and good part finish. The negative 0° rake characteristic provides additional security for interrupted cuts and unstable workpiece set‑ups, making this insert appropriate where durability is prioritised.

Simple integration, broad material applicability and cost efficiency

This insert is supplied in the common CNMM format, which facilitates quick toolholder compatibility and reduces inventory complexity. The WPP20G grade is particularly suited to machining steel (designation P), offering broad applicability across unalloyed and alloyed steels encountered in general engineering. Using a coated, high‑performance insert reduces re‑grinding cycles and tool change frequency, which lowers indirect production costs and improves uptime — a pragmatic advantage for both job shops and production lines.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? The CNMM160612‑HU5 WPP20G insert from Walter Tools is designed primarily for steel (ISO group P) and is optimised for the typical heat and chip behaviour encountered when machining such materials.

How does the HU5 chipbreaker help in practice? The HU5 chipbreaker, as used on this Walter Tools turning insert, produces predictable chip shapes that reduce the likelihood of entanglement and improve surface integrity while enabling stable cutting at a variety of cutting parameters.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts or roughing operations? Yes, the negative 0° rake and the 1.2 mm corner radius make the insert robust for interrupted cuts and medium to heavy roughing, giving reliable edge strength for demanding operations.

Which toolholders are compatible with the CNMM designation? CNMM‑format inserts are widely supported by standard turning toolholder systems; the CNMM160612‑HU5 WPP20G will fit holders designed for CNMM 16 inserts and can be integrated without special adapters in most conventional toolposts
