DNMG110408-MW5 WPP20G — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, Walter Tools

The DNMG110408-MW5 WPP20G is an indexable turning insert engineered for efficient Stahl machining, offering a rhombic 55° geometry and a coated-carbide grade optimised for stable cutting and reliable edge life

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• MW5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 55° profile for versatile turning

Consistent cutting performance for Stahl turning

The combination of the WPP20G coated-carbide grade and the MW5 chipbreaker delivers consistent cutting results when machining Stahl. The Tiger·tec Gold coating is designed to reduce flank and crater wear under typical turning temperatures, which extends the interval between index changes and supports higher productivity. The negative 0° relief angle increases edge strength where interrupted cuts or heavy cross-sections are encountered, while the rhombic 55° shape provides a good balance between approach angle and accessibility. For shops seeking predictable cycle times and fewer tool interventions, this insert supports efficient process control and repeatable part quality.

Lower downtime through improved edge stability

By prioritising wear resistance and stable chip control, the insert reduces the frequency of tool changes and unplanned stoppages. The coated-carbide matrix of Tiger·tec Gold maintains edge geometry over longer tool life, decreasing variances in surface finish and dimensional drift on serial parts. For production environments, the result is more time cut on the component and less time spent on tool handling. This improves overall equipment effectiveness and contributes to a lower cost per part without compromising on finish quality.

Geometry and micro-geometry that support finish and versatility

The insert’s 0.8 mm corner radius and rhombic profile allow both light finishing cuts and moderate roughing passes while preserving surface integrity. The nominal plate size and the insert thickness code provide a stable seating in standard toolholders, ensuring repeatable positioning and minimal vibration. The MW5 chipbreaker is tuned to create short, controllable chips when machining Stahl, which simplifies chip evacuation and reduces the risk of built-up edge. These geometric choices mean the insert performs well across a range of turning operations with minimal set-up adjustments.

Practical application and process support

In applications where consistent batch quality and predictable tool life are priorities, the insert offers a clear technical advantage. Its combination of coating, chip control and geometry supports both single-shift workshops and higher-output production lines. For specific cutting data or recommendations on holder selection, Metav Werkzeuge’s application team can provide data sheets and machining parameters to match the component material and machine capability. The result is a pragmatic, application-focused solution that improves machining reliability and throughput.
