DNMG150612-FP5 WKP01G turning insert — Rhombic 55° geometry, Tiger‑tec Gold by Walter Tools

The DNMG150612-FP5 WKP01G is a negative‑rake, rhombic 55° turning insert designed for reliable finishing and medium‑turning operations on steel and cast iron.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide for long tool life
• FP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 55° shape for versatile turning operations
• 1.2 mm corner radius for stable edge strength

Consistent wear resistance for uninterrupted production

The combination of Tiger‑tec Gold coating and a coated carbide substrate provides enhanced resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer tool changes. The coating technology stabilises the cutting edge under the heat and stresses typical when machining steel and cast iron, reducing flank wear and maintaining dimensional accuracy over longer production runs. For shops seeking predictable tool performance, this insert supports steady cycle times and lower per‑part tooling costs.

Geometry engineered for strength and surface quality

The rhombic 55° profile and a 0° negative rake create a robust cutting edge capable of handling interrupted cuts and varying depths of cut without chipping. The 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge support, improving resistance to mechanical shock and delivering a smoother workpiece finish. The FP5 chipbreaker aids in producing short, manageable chips on both ductile and brittle materials, simplifying chip evacuation and protecting the clamping system. These geometric features combine to give repeatable surface quality and reduced rework.

Efficient chip control that reduces downtime

Effective chip management is essential in productive turning operations. The integrated FP5 chipbreaker is tuned to break and direct chips reliably when machining the ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), lowering the risk of entanglement and toolholder interference. Better chip control contributes to safer setups and less manual cleaning, which helps to keep machines running and operators productive. The insert’s tolerance class M supports consistent seating in standard toolholders, aiding repeatability across tool changeovers.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The DNMG150612‑FP5 WKP01G is formulated for ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), with the Tiger‑tec Gold coating optimised for those material behaviours.

How does the FP5 chipbreaker benefit production?
The FP5 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips on both steel and cast iron, improving chip evacuation and reducing the likelihood of chip‑related interruptions.

What advantages does the 0° negative rake provide?
A 0° negative rake increases edge strength and resistance to impact, making the insert more robust for interrupted cuts and heavy feed conditions.

Is the insert compatible with standard toolholders?
Yes; the insert’s geometrical designation and tolerance class M correspond to common toolholder specifications for DNMG inserts.
