CNMM160616-HU5 CNMM160616-HU5 WPP10G turning indexable insert for steel — WPP10G (Walter Tools)

The CNMM160616-HU5 WPP10G is a rhombic 80° turning indexable insert engineered for productive steel machining in the Tiger·tec Gold coated‑carbide grade.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP10G
• Rhombic 80° insert with 1.6 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for stable cutting
• Suited for steel machining per ISO P

Increase throughput with a wear‑resistant coated grade

The Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G carbide composition deliver a balance of wear resistance and toughness that reduces unscheduled tool changes. As a coated carbide insert designed for ISO P applications, it handles the typical heat and chip formation encountered in steel turning. The result is longer tool life, fewer interruptions and improved process economy when compared with uncoated grades. Coating technology here means a layered surface treatment that protects the cutting edge against abrasion and built‑up edge, which translates directly into more stable cycle times and predictable production planning.

Secure surface quality and dimensional stability during turning

Thanks to the rhombic 80° geometry combined with a 1.6 mm corner radius and a 0° (negative) rake, this insert provides a robust cutting edge for demanding cuts. The HU5 chipbreaker is designed to control chip formation in steel, reducing the risk of long, entangling chips and helping to maintain consistent surface finish. A larger corner radius like 1.6 mm increases edge strength, allowing heavier depths of cut while supporting repeatable part accuracy — an advantage for batch production where dimensional consistency matters.

Quick installation and low handling overhead for toolrooms

The CNMM form supports rapid indexing and straightforward seating in standard turning toolholders compatible with CNMM geometry. The insert’s nominal 16 size and 06 thickness provide a compact yet stable package that simplifies inventory management. Indexable inserts reduce waste by allowing multiple edges to be used before disposal, which contributes to lower per‑part tooling costs and less machine downtime for the workshop. Clear material suitability for steel (ISO P) helps maintenance planners select appropriate grades without trial‑and‑error.

Application guidance and process support

For machining across a wide range of steels the WPP10G grade is tuned to offer a compromise between wear resistance and toughness; it is classified for steel applications and performs well under the thermal and mechanical loads typical for these materials. If optimising cutting data or selecting the most efficient holder geometry is required, Metav Werkzeuge can provide application recommendations and data sheets to support process qualification. Practical advice on feed, speed and depth of cut ensures the component quality and tool life advantages of this insert are realised in daily production.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel applications?
The CNMM160616-HU5 WPP10G insert and its WPP10G grade are specified for steel (ISO P); stainless steel suitability is not indicated for this grade.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on WPP10G increases abrasion resistance and thermal stability of the cutting edge, which improves tool life and process reliability in steel turning.

How does the HU5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The HU5 chipbreaker is configured to manage chip formation in steel turning, promoting controllable chip shapes that reduce interruptions and help maintain surface finish.

Can the CNMM160616-HU5 be used in standard CNMM holders?
Yes, the CNMM geometry is compatible with standard turning toolholders designed for CNMM inserts, allowing straightforward indexing and replacement.

What does the 1.6 mm corner radius mean for cutting performance?
A 1.6 mm corner radius strengthens the insert edge, enabling heavier cuts and improved resistance to edge chipping, which is beneficial for increased material removal rates and roughing operations.
