CNMU120608-D57G WPP35G indexable milling insert – Tiger·tec Gold coating, for steel | Walter Tools

The CNMU120608-D57G WPP35G is a rhombic 80° milling indexable insert designed for productive steel machining with a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• Optimised D57T chipbreaker
• Rhombic 80° geometry
• Corner radius 0.8 mm, negative rake 0°

Consistent cutting performance for steel components

The Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP35G grade are configured specifically for machining steel, providing a balance of wear resistance and toughness. This combination allows stable cutting under the thermal and mechanical conditions typical for unalloyed and alloyed steels. The insert’s coated carbide substrate reduces flank wear and extends tool life, so fewer index changes are required and process interruptions are minimised. The design supports reproducible results across batch runs, improving overall production reliability.

Stable chip formation and reduced machining risk

A decisive advantage of this insert is the D57T chipbreaker, which is optimised to produce short, manageable chips when cutting steel. The rhombic 80° shape with a corner radius 0.8 mm and negative rake 0° promotes controlled cutting forces and consistent surface finish, especially in interrupted or varied-depth passes. Because chip form is stabilised, downstream issues such as tool jamming or workpiece damage are less likely, improving both operator safety and process security during milling operations.

Practical application guidance for productive setups

The insert is intended for conventional face and peripheral milling operations in steel applications. The indexable insert geometry and the Tiger·tec Gold technology are suitable for medium to high material removal rates while maintaining good edge life. For best results, pair the insert with rigid tooling and select cutting parameters that favour steady chip evacuation; coolant use and appropriate feed rates will further enhance wear resistance and surface integrity. The component’s tolerance class M ensures interchangeability and predictable seating in compatible toolholders.
