DNMG150408-FP5 WKP01G — indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, FP5 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

DNMG150408-FP5 WKP01G is an indexable turning insert optimised for productive machining of steel and cast iron in general turning applications

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• FP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
• Suitable for steel and cast iron machining

Increase throughput with predictable wear behaviour

The combination of the WKP01G grade and Tiger·tec Gold technology provides a measurable improvement in tool life and repeatability. The coated carbide construction offers thermal and mechanical resistance that stabilises the cutting edge under continuous turning loads. As a result, process windows widen and downtime for indexable insert changes is reduced, delivering higher machine utilisation and lower cost per component.

Consistent chip control for safer, faster turning

The FP5 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips when turning both steel and cast iron, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving swarf handling. This controlled chip formation enables higher feed rates without compromising surface finish or worker safety. The clear cause-and-effect between chip geometry and feed strategy allows planners to raise productivity while maintaining stable machining.

Geometry for flexible applications and reliable engagement

The Rhombic 55° shape with a 0° (negative) rake angle ensures secure seat contact in standard toolholders and offers a balance between cutting edge strength and accessibility in general turning. The 0.8 mm corner radius supports improved edge robustness during interrupted cuts and helps maintain dimensional stability across longer tool life cycles, which is particularly valuable in batch production environments.

Straightforward selection and integration into existing workflows

Marked by tolerance class M and the familiar DNMG form factor, the insert fits typical tooling systems used in modern turning centres. The designation facilitates quick identification for procurement and inventory management, while the WKP01G grade broadens material coverage to include a range of unalloyed and alloyed steels plus various irons. Specification clarity simplifies process planning and reduces the likelihood of mismatched insert choices.
