SNMM190612-HU5 WPP20G turning insert — square 90° geometry, Tiger·tec Gold grade | Walter Tools

SNMM190612-HU5 WPP20G is a square-indexable turning insert engineered for precision turning of steel components; designed for stable cutting performance in ISO P applications.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP20G
• Designed for steel (ISO P) machining
• Square 90° geometry for positive cutting
• HU5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control

Consistent cutting performance for steel components

The WPP20G grade within the Tiger·tec Gold family combines a coated carbide construction with a formulation optimised for machining steel (ISO P). This results in stable flank wear behaviour and consistent component tolerances over longer tool life, which supports predictable cycle times and reduced tool change frequency. The square 90° geometry paired with a corner radius of 1.2 mm delivers a balance between edge strength and surface finish, making the insert well suited for medium to heavy finishing passes and interrupted cuts where reliability matters.

Controlled chips and improved edge stability

The HU5 chipbreaker is engineered for precise chip formation when turning unalloyed and alloyed steels. By promoting short, controllable chip segments, the chipbreaker reduces the risk of entanglement and helps maintain steady cutting forces. The insert’s 0° relief angle (negative) provides a robust cutting edge for demanding conditions, while the Tiger·tec Gold coating minimises adhesion and thermal wear. For operators with limited experience of coating technologies: the coating is a thin, engineered layer that reduces friction and delays wear mechanisms, directly extending the useful life of the carbide substrate.

Practical integration into workshop workflows

Installation and handling are straightforward: the square 90° form fits common toolholders designed for SNMM-type inserts, and the standardised designation simplifies tool management. The compact 19 mm size and plate thickness 06 suit many common lathe setups, while the tolerance class M ensures consistent interchangeability across inserts from the same batch. When selecting cutting data, prioritise stable clamping and appropriate coolant strategy for steel to exploit the insert’s wear resistance; for further optimisation and cutting-parameter recommendations, consult Metav Werkzeuge’s application support.

What benefit does the Tiger·tec Gold technology provide?
Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP20G grade enhances wear resistance and heat management, extending edge life and maintaining consistent cutting performance during steel turning with the SNMM190612-HU5 insert.

How does the HU5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The HU5 chipbreaker promotes short, manageable chips and stabilises chip flow, which improves surface finish and reduces the risk of chip-related interruptions when turning steel with the SNMM190612-HU5 WPP20G insert.

Is the square 90° geometry suitable for heavy cuts?
Yes, the square 90° form with a 1.2 mm corner radius gives edge strength and versatility for medium to heavier finishing passes, offering a compromise between robustness and surface quality.

What does the tolerance class M mean for toolset-up?
Tolerance class M indicates a medium tolerance band for the insert dimensions, ensuring reliable interchangeability and consistent seating in compatible SNMM toolholders.
