SNMG120416-RP5 WPP10G Drehwendeschneidplatte – for Stahl machining, Tiger‑tec Gold (Walter Tools)

SNMG120416-RP5 WPP10G is a square indexable turning insert designed for general Stahl turning operations, combining a coated Hartmetall grade with a chipbreaker optimised for stable material removal.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended life
• RP5 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Square SNMG geometry for strong corners
• 1.6 mm corner radius for heavy cuts

Longer tool life through advanced coating technology

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade provides a measurable improvement in wear resistance and thermal stability compared with uncoated grades. This coated Hartmetall composition reduces flank wear under the high temperatures typical of Stahl machining, which means fewer insert changes and longer uninterrupted machining cycles. The result is a dependable cutting edge that preserves dimensional stability and minimises unexpected interruptions in production.

Reliable chip formation and improved surface quality

Engineered with the RP5 chipbreaker and a square SNMG geometry, the insert ensures consistent chip segmentation and evacuation during a wide range of turning operations. The 1.6 mm corner radius increases insert strength for heavier cuts while the 0° (negative) relief supports robust facing and turning where cutting forces are high. Together these features promote a stable process, improving surface finish and reducing the need for rework.

Optimised for Stahl according to ISO guidance

Designed for the ISO P group, this insert is tailored to the thermal and mechanical challenges of machining Stahl. The WPP10G sort is balanced to perform across common Stahl grades, offering a compromise between wear resistance and toughness suitable for serial production and batch work. Reference to ISO 513 confirms the intended material group and helps in selecting cutting data and speeds that match the insert’s capabilities.

Practical compatibility and production benefits

The SNMG120416-RP5 format delivers a widely used inscribed circle and seating form that fits standard toolholders, enabling straightforward integration into existing tool systems. Its placement in the Tiger‑tec Gold series supports stable edge behaviour and consistent part-to-part results, which aids process planning and spare-part logistics. Reduced tool change frequency and predictable wear behaviour contribute to improved machine uptime and lower total machining cost per component.
