SNMG150608-MP5 WPP20G – Square 90° indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold, Walter Tools

A SNMG150608‑MP5 WPP20G is a square 90° indexable turning insert designed for machining steel, featuring a Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade and an MP5 chipbreaker for controlled chips.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP20G
• MP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Square 90° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge life

Increased productivity through wear‑resistant coating

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating combined with the WPP20G carbide grade delivers improved wear resistance and longer service intervals when machining steels. This coating technology enhances thermal stability at the cutting edge, which reduces flank and crater wear under typical turning conditions for group P (steel) materials. As a result, the insert supports steady machining cycles and contributes to predictable tool life, making it suitable for medium to high‑volume production where process reliability matters.

Controlled chips and consistent surface quality

Designed with the MP5 chipbreaker and a 0° (negative) relief angle, the insert ensures reliable chip formation and evacuation on a wide range of steels. The square 90° geometry combined with the 0.8 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge that resists chipping while maintaining acceptable surface finishes in both roughing and semi‑finishing operations. Stable chip control reduces interruptions and improves operator safety, which in turn helps maintain component quality on demanding turning tasks.

Clear application guidance and process security

Marked tolerance class M and the compact SNMG150608‑MP5 form factor make this insert well suited for general turning operations in unalloyed and alloyed steels as defined for ISO group P. With a nominal plate size of 15 and thickness designation 06, the insert fits standard toolholders for versatile workshop use. For tailored feeds, speeds and holder recommendations, technical consultation is available to ensure the insert achieves optimal performance in specific setups and workpiece materials.
