DNMM150608-HU5 WPP20G Turning insert — for steel, Tiger‑tec Gold, Walter Tools

A DNMM150608-HU5 WPP20G turning insert for steel turning, offering a Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade and a robust negative 0° rake for reliable chip control and long tool life

Tiger‑tec Gold coating For steel (ISO P) applications Rhombic 55° geometry 0.8 mm corner radius 0° negative rake for robustness

Higher productivity through a coated grade optimised for steel

The WPP20G grade, part of the Tiger‑tec Gold family, is a coated carbide formulation designed for the thermal and chip‑formation behaviour typical of steel machining. As a result, the insert delivers consistent edge life and predictable wear progression, which reduces unplanned tool changes and supports continuous production. The combination of coating technology and geometry enables productive cutting rates while maintaining dimensional stability on medium to high alloyed steels.

Robust geometry and reproducible accuracy in turning

The rhombic 55° insert form with a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and finishing capability: the corner radius improves edge stability for interrupted cuts and heavy engagement, while still allowing for acceptable surface quality in finishing passes. The 0° negative rake increases mechanical toughness of the cutting edge, making the insert particularly suitable where rigidity and repeatable results are required rather than minimising cutting forces.

Practical chip control and easy identification on the shop floor

Equipped with the HU5 chipbreaker, this insert promotes short, controllable chip shapes when turning steels, reducing scrap risks and easing chip handling in automated cells. The standardised designation and series marking simplify tool management and reordering; the insert is supplied in the widely used DNMM configuration, enabling fast replacement and predictable performance across batch production. For process validation, the insert supports straightforward tool‑setting and repeatable offsets on conventional and CNC lathes.
