SNMG090308-FP5 WPP20G — Square 90° indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The SNMG090308-FP5 WPP20G is a square 90° indexable insert engineered for robust steel turning and general-purpose production machining.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended life
• Grade WPP20G optimised for steel
• FP5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0° negative rake for high cutting stability

Maximise productivity in steel turning

The SNMG090308-FP5 WPP20G insert combines a Tiger·tec Gold coating with the WPP20G coated-carbide grade to deliver a reliable balance between wear resistance and toughness when machining steel (ISO P). The FP5 chipbreaker is designed to produce controllable, short chips across a broad range of cutting conditions, reducing interruptions and supporting longer uninterrupted cycles. With a 0° negative rake angle, the geometry increases edge strength for demanding cuts and interrupted operations, while the 0.8 mm corner radius contributes to robustness at the cutting edge. These characteristics translate into measurable productivity gains and reduced tool-change frequency.

Consistent surface quality and predictable tool life

A stable cutting edge ensures repeatable results. The insert’s coating and carbide composition reduce flank wear and the risk of built-up edge, supporting constant surface finish from part to part. The insert’s tolerance class M and square 90° format provide dimensional reliability for profiling and external turning operations, making it suitable where process security and reproducibility are priorities. The technical combination reduces scrap rates and supports predictable maintenance planning, delivering economic benefits across production batches.

Practical application guidance for efficient integration

The square geometry and robust thickness code give the insert mechanical rigidity that supports moderate to heavy cutting depths and interrupted cuts. The FP5 chipformer works particularly well in longitudinal and facing passes on unalloyed and alloyed steels, promoting safe chip evacuation. As the grade is specified for steel (ISO P), choose feeds and speeds that align with workpiece alloy and machine capability to exploit the insert’s wear resistance and toughness. For precise parameter selection or special applications, Metav Werkzeuge provides application-oriented advice to integrate the insert into existing toolholders and processes.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The SNMG090308-FP5 WPP20G insert is specified for steel machining (ISO P); the WPP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating are optimised for the thermal and chip-formation characteristics typical of steels.

What does the WPP20G grade indicate?
WPP20G is Walter Tools’ coated-carbide grade within the Tiger·tec Gold family, offering a balance of wear resistance and toughness for general steel turning applications.

How does the FP5 chipbreaker influence machining?
The FP5 chipbreaker produces controlled, short chips across a range of feeds and depths, improving chip evacuation and reducing the risk of entanglement during turning operations with the SNMG090308-FP5 WPP20G.

For which operations is the square 90° insert recommended?
The square 90° geometry is suitable for external turning, profiling and robust general-purpose cuts where edge strength and indexable corners are beneficial.

What is the advantage of the 0° negative rake angle?
A 0° negative rake angle increases cutting-edge strength and stability, which is advantageous for interrupted cuts and heavy-depth roughing passes using the SNMG090308-FP5 WPP20G.
