DNMG150604-FW5 WKP01G – Turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel & cast iron by Walter Tools

DNMG150604-FW5 WKP01G is a high-performance indexable turning insert for medium to finishing operations in steel and cast iron.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Precise rhombic 55° geometry
• FW5 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K)

Higher productivity through durable coating and optimised grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WKP01G carbide grade delivers measurable productivity gains in serial turning. The coated hardmetal offers improved wear resistance and heat management, which translates into longer tool life and more consistent component dimensions under production loads. For operations involving unalloyed and alloyed steel as well as cast iron, the insert maintains a stable cutting edge and predictable tool-change intervals, supporting throughput planning and reducing unexpected downtime.

Stable chip control and reliable geometry for consistent finishes

The FW5 chipbreaker is engineered for secure chip segmentation and evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and surface damage. The insert’s rhombic 55° shape and 0° negative rake provide a robust cutting geometry that resists vibration in interrupted cuts and maintains edge strength during heavy cross-section cuts. The corner radius 0.4 mm helps achieve good surface quality on finishing passes while preserving tool life; the geometry works effectively across typical turning feeds and depths, simplifying process parameter selection.

Process security, material coverage and application guidance

As part of the Tiger·tec Gold series, this insert supports a broad material spectrum classified as P/K under ISO 513, meaning it is suited for conventional steel machining and abrasive cast iron applications. The Walter Tools grade emphasises repeatable performance and stable chip formation, making it a pragmatic choice for workshops seeking reproducible results. If application details require fine-tuning—for example, recommended speeds, feeds or holder selection—Metav Werkzeuge provides technical advice and material-specific recommendations to integrate the insert into existing turning processes effectively.
