DNMG150616-MU5 WPP10G Drehwendeschneidplatte — Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold, for steel (ISO P)

The DNMG150616-MU5 WPP10G is a negative-rake rhombic insert designed for stable, productive turning of steel under typical cutting conditions

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for high wear resistance
• WPP10G grade optimised for steel machining
• Rhombic 55° geometry with 1.6 mm corner radius
• MU5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control

Reliable performance through advanced coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G carbide grade delivers predictable, long-lasting performance when machining steel. The coating reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into longer intervals between indexings and fewer tool changes, improving uptime. This technical pairing is particularly effective under the heat and chip-formation conditions typical for ISO P materials, offering a clear efficiency advantage for productive turning operations.

Geometry and edge design that improve stability and finish

The insert’s rhombic 55° geometry with a 1.6 mm corner radius and a 0° negative rake provides a balance between strength and accessibility in shoulder, profiling and general turning applications. A robust corner radius supports stable cutting forces and helps maintain dimensional accuracy, while the negative rake enhances edge resilience in interrupted cuts. The result is improved surface quality and reduced risk of chipping in routine production and occasional heavier cuts.

Precise chip control and intended applications

Equipped with the MU5 chipbreaker, the insert controls chip formation reliably across common steel grades, promoting safe evacuation and consistent tool contact. Classified for ISO P materials, the tool is suited to unalloyed and alloyed steels where typical heat generation and chip shapes occur. The chipbreaker geometry reduces secondary cutting and helps maintain constant cutting conditions, which benefits cycle-time stability and reduces manual chip-handling interventions.

FAQ

What steels is this insert intended for?
The DNMG150616-MU5 WPP10G is engineered for ISO P materials, meaning it is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steels where standard cutting heat and chip formation occur.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit production runs?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on this Walter Tools insert improves wear resistance and thermal stability, resulting in longer tool life and fewer indexings during extended production.

Which chip conditions does the MU5 chipbreaker handle best?
The MU5 chipbreaker is designed for consistent chip control in turning steel, producing short to moderate chip forms that evacuate reliably in standard turning setups.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts and heavier engagement?
The negative 0° rake and 1.6 mm corner radius increase edge strength, making the insert more robust for occasional interrupted cuts and moderate heavy-duty turning.
