SNMG120416-MP5 WPP10G — turning insert (Tiger·tec Gold, for steel) by Walter Tools

A SNMG120416-MP5 WPP10G turning insert engineered for steel machining, delivering stable chip control and enhanced tool life for demanding production environments

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• MP5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Square 90° geometry, 1.6 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for secure cutting

Increased tool life through advanced grade technology

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade gives this insert a clear advantage in operations involving steel. The multilayer coating reduces thermal and abrasive wear, which translates into longer service intervals and fewer indexings. For production runs where consistent cutting-edge condition matters, this grade supports predictable tool-life behaviour and reduced downtime. The result is improved throughput and lower overall tooling costs without compromising component quality.

Consistent chip forming and surface quality

The MP5 chipbreaker is designed to manage chips effectively in typical steel-cutting scenarios, promoting short, controlled chips and reducing the risk of re-cutting or machine interference. The square 90° form combined with a 1.6 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge that supports stable cutting forces and a reliable surface finish. The negative 0° rake angle enhances edge strength for interrupted cuts and heavy engagement, making the insert suitable for machining operations where process security and repeatability are priorities.

Easy integration for standard toolholders and predictable results

Dimensionally consistent with the SNMG format, the insert’s specification (size 12, thickness 04) and tolerance class M mean it fits common toolholders and clamping systems used in turning centres. The standardised geometry simplifies tool selection and inventory planning while the clear designation aids quick identification on the shop floor. Combined with the grade’s suitability for unalloyed and alloyed steels, the insert supports efficient setup changes and a reliable transition from trial runs to full production.
