SNMG120416-RP7 WPP20G — Turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, RP7 (Walter Tools)

SNMG120416-RP7 WPP20G is a square 90° turning insert designed for steel machining, offering a coated carbide grade and an RP7 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• RP7 chipbreaker for predictable chip control
• 1.6 mm corner radius for robust cutting edge
• Negative 0° relief for heavy-duty turning

Maximise productivity in steel turning

The Tiger·tec Gold WPP20G grade combines a coated carbide substrate with a surface engineering that reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into fewer insert changes and lower cost per part. The RP7 chipbreaker is tuned for the ISO P group, providing stable chip control when machining unalloyed and alloyed steel, so cycle times remain consistent even under varying cut conditions. The result is measurable productivity gains through extended in-process reliability.

Consistent component quality and edge security

A 1.6 mm corner radius together with a negative 0° relief delivers a robust cutting edge that resists chipping during interrupted cuts and roughing operations. This geometry supports constant contact conditions and helps maintain surface finish across successive components. The coated grade mitigates thermal and abrasive wear, offering reproducible dimension and surface-quality outcomes over longer tool life, which reduces downtime and inspection effort.

Practical application advice for reliable machining

The insert is optimised for typical heat generation and chip formation when turning steel (ISO P). Its square 90° form and listed dimensions allow flexible clamping in common toolholders for facing, longitudinal turning and medium-depth cutting. For best results, pair the insert with stable toolholders and appropriate cutting parameters tailored to the workpiece alloy; the combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and RP7 chipbreaker supports both roughing and general-purpose operations with low risk of built-up edge.
