CNMM160616-HU3 WPP10G turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, HU3 chipbreaker — Walter Tools

The CNMM160616-HU3 WPP10G is a rhombic 80° turning insert with a 1.6 mm corner radius and a 0° negative relief, optimised for steel machining under ISO P conditions

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• Rhombic 80° form, 1.6 mm corner radius
• Optimised for steel, stable chip control

Consistent performance for steel machining

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade delivers wear resistance and heat management specifically tuned for steel. The coated carbide substrate reduces flank wear and prolongs service life in continuous and intermittent cuts; this lowers tool-change frequency and supports predictable production cycles. Designed for the heat and chip formation typical of ISO P materials, the insert enhances process stability and reduces scrap rates, providing a measurable productivity advantage on turning operations.

Geometry that supports surface finish and tool life

A rhombic 80° form with a 1.6 mm corner radius and a 0° (negative) relief angle creates a robust cutting edge that resists chipping while promoting repeatable dimensional control. The HU3 chipbreaker is balanced to fragment swarf effectively in a wide range of turning feeds, improving evacuation and reducing re-cutting. Together, these geometry features contribute to a reliable surface finish and lower cutting forces, which in turn reduce machine load and energy consumption during serial production.

Designed for efficient production and low operating costs

The coated carbide grade and the stable edge of this insert support longer tool life and fewer interruptions, directly affecting the cost per component. The WPP10G grade is positioned for high wear resistance in steel; the result is extended cutting intervals and predictable regrinding or replacement schedules. For manufacturers focused on cycle-time reduction and consistent output, the insert offers a convincing cost-benefit profile by lowering downtime and maintaining dimensional accuracy across batches.

Practical application guidance and handling

This turning insert is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steels classified under ISO P and is supplied in tolerance class M for standard interchangeability. For best results, select cutting parameters that match the workpiece grade and the intended surface quality; moderate feed rates with stable depth of cut typically exploit the HU3 chipbreaker most effectively. The insert designation CNMM160616-HU3 WPP10G identifies the geometry and grade clearly for tool inventory and ordering, simplifying toolposting and job setup in CNC turning applications.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The CNMM160616-HU3 WPP10G is formulated for ISO P materials, making it suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steels.

How does the HU3 chipbreaker affect machining?
The HU3 chipbreaker is designed to produce controlled chip formation in a broad range of turning feeds, enhancing evacuation and surface consistency.

What does the 0° negative relief mean in practice?
A 0° negative relief produces a stronger cutting edge, which increases resistance to shock and improves edge stability during interrupted cuts.

Is the corner radius important for finish and strength?
Yes — the 1.6 mm corner radius balances edge strength and the ability to achieve good surface finish, reducing the risk of chipping under heavier cuts.

How should the insert be specified when ordering?
Order using the full designation CNMM160616-HU3 WPP10G to ensure correct geometry, chipbreaker and grade are supplied.
