Drehwendeschneidplatte SNMG120404-MP3 WPP20G – indexable turning insert for Stahl | Walter Tools

SNMG120404-MP3 WPP20G is a square 90° indexable insert engineered for general-purpose turning of Stahl, providing a balance of wear resistance and toughness via the Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for longer life
• MP3 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Square 90° form for versatile turning
• Suitable for a wide range of Stahl applications

Reliable coating technology for consistent productivity

The Tiger·tec Gold coating on this insert is a coated carbide solution developed to improve wear resistance and process stability under the heat and stresses of turning. As a result, the tool sustains cutting edge integrity for longer intervals, reducing interruption for index changes and lowering overall tool consumption. The WPP20G grade is positioned as a universal option with an emphasis on balanced performance across mixed production runs, making it a pragmatic choice where repeatable cycle times and good surface finishes are required.

Geometry and chip control that support efficient machining

The square 90° shape and the MP3 chipbreaker deliver predictable chip formation and reliable cut evacuation in a variety of feed and depth combinations. The insert’s negative 0° rake and 0.4 mm corner radius provide a strong cutting edge for robust engagement, while the dimensional coding (size 12, thickness code 04) ensures compatibility with common toolholder systems. These geometric choices translate into fewer process disturbances and consistent component quality, particularly in medium-duty turning of unalloyed and alloyed Stahl.

Application benefits and process guidance for the shop floor

Designed for general turning of Stahl, this insert simplifies tool management by covering a broad material range without constant requalification. The moderate hardness and coating combination reduce the risk of sudden edge failure and support steady-state cutting parameters, which in turn helps maintain stable cycle times and surface integrity. For shops aiming to increase throughput while keeping setup complexity low, this grade and geometry provide a practical compromise between tool life and surface quality.
