DNMG150616-RP5 WPP10G turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold – for steel (Walter Tools)

The DNMG150616-RP5 WPP10G is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert with RP5 chipbreaker, optimised for reliable steel machining and consistent surface finish.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for longer tool life
• RP5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 1.6 mm corner radius for stable cutting
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning

Outstanding productivity through consistent chip control

The combination of the RP5 chipbreaker and the WPP10G grade delivers controlled chip formation during a wide range of turning operations on steel. The chipbreaker design reduces the risk of built-up edge and secures continuous material evacuation, which maintains cycle times and minimises unplanned interruptions. As a result, process stability is improved and tool changes become more predictable, supporting a smoother production flow.

Coating technology that extends tool life

Built on coated carbide, the insert is part of the Tiger·tec Gold series, a coating system engineered to withstand common wear mechanisms during steel machining. The multilayer coating promotes thermal stability at the cutting edge and reduces flank wear, which translates into longer cutting intervals and fewer replacements. For operations where consistent edge integrity matters, the coating contributes directly to lower tooling costs over time.

Geometry and edge preparation for reliable performance

The rhombic 55° platform and 1.6 mm corner radius provide a balanced edge that resists chipping while enabling robust engagement during turning passes. The 0° negative rake lends strength to the cutting edge under interrupted cuts and tough cross-sections. Together these geometric features enable dependable performance in medium to heavy stock removal and help maintain dimensional accuracy across extended tool life.

Application focus and machining recommendations

Designed primarily for P-group materials, the insert is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steel, accommodating both steady finishing and general-purpose roughing tasks. The WPP10G grade is formulated for broad steel coverage with an emphasis on wear resistance; select cutting parameters that favour steady chip flow and moderate feeds to exploit the chipbreaker design. Where higher surface quality is required, modest reductions in feed combined with the insert’s geometry will enhance finish without sacrificing productivity.
