CNMM160616-HU3 WPP20G turning insert — Rhombic 80°, for steel — Walter Tools

CNMM160616-HU3 WPP20G is a coated carbide turning insert designed for robust steel machining and universal application in ISO P materials

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• Optimised HU3 chipbreaker
• Rhombic 80° form for versatility
• 1.6 mm corner radius for robust edge

Consistent performance for steel machining

The combination of the WPP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold technology provides a stable cutting edge and predictable wear behaviour when machining steels (ISO P). The coated carbide substrate is engineered to tolerate the heat and chip formation typical of steel turning, which reduces the need for frequent index changes and supports a steady production rhythm. This results in lower tool cost per part and improved process repeatability for batch or continuous turning operations.

Reliable chip control and longer edge life

Equipped with the HU3 chipbreaker and a Rhombic 80° geometry, the insert produces short, controllable chips in a wide range of steel alloys. The 1.6 mm corner radius increases edge robustness and resistance to microchipping, while the 0° (negative) relief angle provides dimensional stability during interrupted cuts. For operators less familiar with chipbreaker design: the HU3 profile shapes the chip to avoid long stringers and to facilitate evacuation, reducing rework and machine downtime.

Easy integration into production tooling systems

The insert comes in the standard CNMM format and the M tolerance/execution class, simplifying tool inventory and ensuring interchangeability in conventional turning tool holders. The nominal size designation supports straightforward tool list entries and consistent set-up values on the machine. With its balanced blend of toughness and wear resistance, this insert suits general-purpose turning in steel and can reduce the number of different grades required on the shop floor, supporting leaner tooling strategies and faster job changeovers.

FAQ

What steels is this insert suited for?
The CNMM160616-HU3 WPP20G insert from Walter Tools is formulated for ISO P materials, covering unalloyed and alloyed steels and offering reliable performance across a broad steel spectrum.

How does the HU3 chipbreaker improve machining?
The HU3 chipbreaker on this indexable insert forces short, segmented chips, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of entanglement; this enhances process stability when turning steel with the Tiger·tec Gold-coated grade.

Can this insert handle interrupted cuts or heavy cuts?
With a 1.6 mm corner radius and a negative 0° relief angle, the insert provides robust edge strength and dimensional stability, making it suitable for many interrupted and moderately heavy turning operations.

Which tool holders are compatible with this geometry?
The CNMM form fits standard CNMM tool holders specified for rhombic 80° inserts; using the matching holder ensures correct seating and consistent cutting geometry for repeatable results.

What advantage does the Tiger·tec Gold coating offer?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP20G grade increases wear resistance and thermal stability, extending edge life and maintaining surface finish in steel turning applications.
