DNMG150612-MW5 WPP20G turning insert – Tiger·tec Gold, MW5 chipformer (Walter Tools)

The DNMG150612-MW5 WPP20G is a rhombic 55° turning insert optimised for robust finishing and medium roughing of steel in production environments.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• MW5 chipformer for stable chip control
• Rhombic 55° insert with 1.2 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for secure cutting

Consistent performance for steel turning operations

The combination of the WPP20G grade and the Tiger·tec Gold coating results in a wear-resistant cutting edge designed specifically for the thermal and mechanical demands of turning steel. The coated carbide composition offers a balanced hardness and toughness profile, which reduces flank wear and maintains dimensional stability over extended cycles. For production shops and subcontractors focused on repeatable component quality, this turning grade supports predictable tool-life planning and fewer insert changes, lowering downtime and increasing throughput.

Stable chip control and secure cutting for reliable finishes

Equipped with the MW5 chipformer and a 0° negative rake, the geometry of this insert promotes controlled chip breakage and safe cutting forces when machining typical ISO P materials. The Rhombus 55° shape, combined with a 1.2 mm corner radius, allows a compromise between surface quality and modest metal removal rates: suitable for finishing passes and medium roughing where a reliable surface and process stability are required. The stable chipflow reduces the risk of edge damage and contributes to consistent surface integrity on turned parts.

Easy integration into productive toolpaths and fixtures

The insert’s dimensional profile and tolerance class M ensure compatibility with standard toolholders and clamping systems used in turning centres. As a coated carbide solution designed for steel, the grade supports a wide range of cutting parameters, enabling process engineers to tune speed and feed for optimal cycle time and part finish. The predictable behaviour of the cutting edge simplifies parameter selection and reduces trial-and-error at setup, supporting a more efficient production ramp-up and more consistent batch quality across shifts.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The DNMG150612-MW5 WPP20G insert is designed primarily for steel (ISO P), as indicated by the WPP20G grade and its thermal-mechanical optimisation.

How does the MW5 chipformer affect machining?
The MW5 chipformer promotes stable chip control and predictable breakage, improving process security and contributing to consistent surface finishes when turning steel.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
Yes, the Rhombus 55° shape combined with the 1.2 mm corner radius makes the insert suitable for finishing and medium roughing operations where good surface integrity is required.

What does the 0° negative rake mean in practice?
A 0° negative rake provides a robust cutting geometry with lower tendency for chipping at the cutting edge, which enhances reliability when handling typical steel alloys and less forgiving cutting conditions.

Is the WPP20G grade coated or uncoated?
WPP20G is a coated carbide grade utilising the Tiger·tec Gold technology, aimed at delivering a balance of wear resistance and toughness for steel machining.
