DNMG150408-MU5 WPP05G turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold, Rhombic 55° (Walter Tools)

DNMG150408-MU5 WPP05G is a rhombic turning insert designed for productive steel machining with a Tiger·tec Gold coated grade and an MU5 chipbreaker.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WPP05G
• Optimised MU5 chipbreaker
• Rhombic 55° geometry
• 0.8 mm nose radius, 0° negative

Consistent cutting performance for steel production

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with the WPP05G grade delivers enhanced wear resistance and stable cutting-edge behaviour when machining steel (ISO group P). The MU5 chipbreaker is tuned for reliable chip control under typical steel cutting conditions, minimising interruptions and reducing the likelihood of built-up edge. This results in predictable tool life and fewer tool changes, which supports continuous production and predictable planning.

Longer tool life and improved process efficiency

A coated carbide grade like WPP05G is optimised to balance toughness and hardness, providing improved tool life in mixed steel applications. The Tiger·tec Gold technology reduces abrasive wear and helps preserve the cutting edge at elevated temperatures; as a consequence, cycle times remain steady and surface quality is maintained over longer tool life. These technical advantages translate into lower tooling consumption and better overall cost-efficiency for repetitive turning operations.

Geometry that supports stable machining and surface quality

The Rhombic 55° form and 0.8 mm corner radius with a 0° (negative) free angle create a cutting geometry suitable for a range of turning tasks where small corner radii and robust edge support are required. This geometry improves insert seating stability and allows confident cutting parameter selection for facing and light to medium turning. The coded thickness and form match standard toolholders, simplifying logistics and replacement routines for workshop teams.

Application focus and practical handling advice

Built for steel-oriented applications (designation P), this insert suits both unalloyed and alloyed steels where consistent chip formation and surface finish are priorities. The MU5 chipbreaker facilitates mid-range depths of cut with controlled chip fragmentation, reducing manual chip handling and downtime. For exact cutting data and optimisation in a specific production context, consult the technical advisors at Metav Werkzeuge to align feed and speed with the chosen insert and machine setup.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suited for?
This insert is designed for steel (P) applications; the WPP05G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating are optimised for unalloyed and alloyed steels.

What benefit does the MU5 chipbreaker provide?
The MU5 chipbreaker offers controlled chip formation and reliable evacuation during typical steel turning, reducing interruptions and supporting smoother operation with the DNMG150408-MU5 WPP05G insert.

How does the Rhombic 55° geometry influence cutting?
Rhombic 55° geometry gives a compact cutting edge and stable seating in the toolholder, which helps when facing and carrying out general turning where edge robustness and repeatability are required.

What does the 0.8 mm corner radius mean for surface finish?
A 0.8 mm nose radius balances surface finish improvement with edge strength; it supports good surface quality while maintaining a resistant cutting edge suitable for moderate cutting forces.

Is this a coated carbide grade and what series does it belong to?
Yes — the insert is a coated carbide grade WPP05G and belongs to the Tiger·tec Gold series from Walter Tools.
