SNMM250716-HU7 WPP20G square indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel — Walter Tools

The SNMM250716-HU7 WPP20G is a square 90° indexable turning insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating, designed for reliable steel machining and equipped with a HU7 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Grade WPP20G optimised for steel
• Square 90° form for robust corner strength
• Chipbreaker HU7 for controlled chips

Maximise machining reliability and tool life

The coated carbide in the WPP20G grade combines a hard wear-resistant surface with a resilient substrate, delivering a balance between edge stability and longevity. The Tiger·tec Gold technology reduces flank and crater wear under typical steel cutting conditions, which results in fewer insert changes and more predictable tool life. This contributes to a steadier production output and reduced process interruptions, especially in medium to heavy turning operations.

Secure chip control and steady process behaviour

Integrated HU7 chip control promotes reliable chip segmentation and evacuation, helping to avoid snarled chips and secondary operations. The insert’s square 90° geometry and 0° (negative) rake angle enhance edge strength, making it suited to interrupted cuts and applications where corner robustness is essential. As a result, cycle times become more consistent and rework is reduced through improved surface integrity.

Optimised for steel turning with clear application focus

Specified for ISO group P (steel), the grade and geometry are tuned to handle the typical heat generation and chip characteristics of unalloyed and alloyed steels. The combination of WPP20G and the insert’s form supports reliable performance across a broad range of turning tasks, from roughing to medium finishing, without overcomplicating process setup. This makes the insert a practical choice where flexibility and repeatable results are required.

Easy specification, fewer uncertainties in production

With defined parameters—25 mm size, 1.6 mm corner radius and thickness code 07—the insert integrates simply into existing toolholders and tool lists. The tolerance class M and execution M ensure consistent interchangeability and placement accuracy, which assists toolroom planning and reduces setup time. For production planners seeking predictable performance and documented data for process sheets, the insert is straightforward to specify.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The SNMM250716-HU7 WPP20G is optimised for ISO group P materials, meaning it is primarily designed for turning steel including unalloyed and alloyed varieties.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold technology benefit production?
Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP20G grade improves wear resistance and thermal stability, which leads to longer insert life, fewer tool changes and more consistent batch quality.

When is the HU7 chipbreaker recommended?
The HU7 chipbreaker is appropriate for operations that require controlled chip segmentation and reliable evacuation, especially in medium to heavy turning where chip control impacts cycle times.

Is the square 90° form suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes. The square 90° geometry combined with a 0° negative rake and a 1.6 mm corner radius provides robust edge strength, making the insert well suited to interrupted and heavy engagement cuts.
