DNMG150612-MP3 WPP20G – Indexable turning insert (Tiger‑tec Gold) for steel, Walter Tools

The DNMG150612-MP3 WPP20G is an indexable turning insert intended for general steel machining (ISO P), combining a Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade with an MP3 chipbreaker to deliver reliable chip control and consistent surface quality.

Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
MP3 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
Rhombic 55° form with 1.2 mm nose radius
Negative 0° rake for robust turning performance

Greater lifetime and predictable economy with Tiger‑tec Gold

The coated carbide grade delivers markedly improved wear resistance, which translates into longer edge life and fewer indexings in batch production. The WPP20G grade, developed within the Tiger‑tec Gold series, balances hardness and toughness to maintain a stable cutting edge under the typical heat and chip formation of steel machining. For production environments the result is a lower cost per part and reduced downtime, achieved through fewer insert changes and more consistent dimensional results from the cutting edge.

Controlled chip formation for secure, repeatable turning

The integrated MP3 chipbreaker is tuned to produce short, manageable chips when machining steel, reducing the risk of entanglement and making coolant evacuation more effective. Combined with the rhombic 55° geometry and a 1.2 mm nose radius, the insert offers a reliable compromise between surface finish and cutting strength: the geometry supports smooth finishes on finishing passes while the radius helps withstand intermittent cuts, improving process security in mixed production runs.

Practical application and process guidance for ISO P materials

Designed explicitly for the ISO P group, this insert suits unalloyed and alloyed steel applications where a universal cutting grade is required. The 0° negative rake increases edge robustness for steady chip removal under heavy depths of cut, making the insert suitable for turning tasks that demand repeatable performance. The medium tolerance class supports standard toolholder systems and simplifies inventory by using a widely compatible insert type suitable for diverse turning operations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The DNMG150612-MP3 WPP20G insert is designed for ISO P materials, specifically unalloyed and alloyed steel, where the WPP20G grade is optimised for the heat and chip behaviour of steel.

How does the Tiger‑tec Gold grade benefit production?
Tiger‑tec Gold in the WPP20G grade provides improved wear resistance and a balanced edge toughness, so the insert maintains cutting performance longer and reduces the frequency of tool changes.

What advantage does the MP3 chipbreaker offer?
The MP3 chipbreaker produces short, controllable chips and helps maintain a stable cutting process, which supports safer machining and easier handling during automated or manual operations.

Is the insert suitable for finishing passes?
With a 1.2 mm nose radius and rhombic 55° geometry, the insert can achieve good surface finishes on finishing passes while still offering strength for semi‑finishing operations.

Which toolholders are compatible with this insert designation?
The DNMG150612-MP3 format corresponds to common DNMG toolholders for 15 mm insert systems; holders designed for rhombic 55° DNMG inserts will accept this grade and chipbreaker.
