TNMG160308-MP5 WPP20G — Indexable turning insert for steel, Tiger‑tec Gold (Walter Tools)

TNMG160308-MP5 WPP20G is an indexable turning insert designed for robust and economical machining of steels, offering reliable chip control and long tool life.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WPP20G grade optimised for steel
• Triangle 60° geometry for versatile turning
• MP5 chipbreaker for dependable chip control

Maximise uptime with durable coating and stable cutting edges

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WPP20G grade produces a coated carbide insert that resists wear and preserves the cutting edge under typical steel cutting temperatures. This coating technology reduces flank and crater wear, which in turn extends the service interval and lowers tooling costs per part. For production environments where consistent performance is required, the hardened surface of the insert supports repeatable results and reduces unplanned tool changes, improving overall process efficiency.

Achieve reliable chip control and consistent surface finish

Engineered with the MP5 chipbreaker and a triangle 60° form, the insert provides controlled chip formation across a range of feeds. The 0° (negative) relief geometry and 0.8 mm corner radius deliver a balance between robustness and finishing capability, making the tool suitable for both semi‑finishing and finishing passes. Stable chip flow reduces the risk of rework and enhances surface quality, which is particularly important for assemblies and downstream processes that demand tight tolerances.

Designed specifically for steel applications with practical benefits

Rated for the ISO P group, this insert is tailored to the thermal and mechanical demands of unalloyed and alloyed steels. The tolerance class M and the standardised TNMG160308-MP5 WPP20G designation ensure compatibility with commonly used toolholders and straightforward inventory management. Because the insert is indexable, edge changes are fast and repeatable, which supports lean manufacturing practices and shortens setup times in batch production.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suited for?
The TNMG160308-MP5 WPP20G insert is optimised for ISO group P materials, meaning it is primarily intended for unalloyed and alloyed steels.

What advantages does the Tiger‑tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger‑tec Gold coating increases wear resistance and thermal stability, which prolongs tool life and supports more stable machining cycles on steel.

How does the MP5 chipbreaker perform across feeds?
The MP5 chipbreaker produces consistent chips at a wide range of feed rates, promoting safe evacuation and improving surface finish during turning operations.

Is the geometry suitable for finishing passes?
Yes. The combination of a 0.8 mm corner radius and the triangle 60° form allows for controlled finishing while maintaining edge strength for light to moderate interrupted cuts.

Are these inserts compatible with standard toolholders?
The TNMG‑type ISO designation ensures compatibility with standard TNMG toolholders; correct clamping and indexation are required for safe use.
