DNMG150408-FP5 WPP20G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold for steel | Walter Tools

DNMG150408-FP5 WPP20G is a coated carbide turning insert designed for productive steel machining, offering stable chip formation and extended tool life

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• Optimised FP5 chipbreaker
• Rhombic 55° geometry (DNMG)
• Corner radius 0.8 mm, negative rake 0°

Consistent performance for steel turning

The WPP20G grade, utilising Walter’s Tiger·tec Gold technology, is a coated carbide solution engineered for machining steels under the thermal and metallurgical conditions typical of such materials. As a grade classed for general to wear-resistant performance, it balances tool life and versatility so that shops can maintain higher productivity over extended cycles. The coating technology supports stable cutting edges and improved resistance to flank wear, which translates into fewer insert changes and more predictable production planning.

Geometry and chip control for dependable results

The rhombic DNMG form with 55° included angle provides comfortable approach geometry for a wide range of turning tasks, while the FP5 chipbreaker is matched to the insert’s micro-geometry for controlled chip formation in steel. A corner radius of 0.8 mm gives a good compromise between edge strength and surface finish, and the negative rake 0° relief supports interrupted cuts and applications where a robust cutting edge is required. Together, these features reduce the risk of edge chipping and help to maintain consistent surface quality across batches.

Practical workshop benefits and integration

As an indexable insert, this DNMG-style solution fits standard holders and simplifies tool management in production environments. The designation includes commonly referenced codes—size 15 and thickness code 04—so replacement and stock control are straightforward. The insert is supplied in tolerance class M, supporting repeatable seating and accurate tool offsets. With material application identified as P (steel), the component is ready for inclusion in turning toolpaths where steel is the primary workpiece material, enabling efficient machining and stable process windows.
