DNMG150616-MP5 WPP20G indexable turning insert for steel — Walter Tools

The DNMG150616-MP5 WPP20G is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert designed for productive machining of steel components, offering robust edge stability and consistent chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for high performance
• WPP20G grade optimised for steel machining
• MP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 55° form with 1.6 mm corner radius

Consistent productivity through advanced coating technology

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold surface treatment and the WPP20G grade provides measurable gains in process reliability. The coated cemented carbide substrate is geared towards typical heat and chip challenges in steel turning, enabling longer tool life and fewer indexings per workpiece. This translates into higher uptime and reduced tooling costs per part while maintaining dimensional stability under continuous cutting conditions.

Geometry engineered for repeatable surface quality

A rhombic 55° insert geometry with a 1.6 mm corner radius and 0° (negative) free angle delivers a balanced mix of strength and versatility. The larger corner radius increases edge robustness for medium-depth cuts, reducing edge chipping and improving surface finish consistency. The chosen form supports dependable results across a range of turning tasks where edge security and predictable tool behaviour are priorities.

Controlled chip formation and material focus

The MP5 chipbreaker is tailored for predictable chip segmentation when machining steel, supporting safe chip evacuation and reduced risk of built-up edge. As a grade designed for the P material group, the insert accommodates both unalloyed and alloyed steels, offering a universal compromise between wear resistance and toughness. For operations where consistent chip shape and process stability matter, this insert enhances machining safety and contributes to shorter cycle variability.
