TNMG160404-FP5 WKP01G turning insert — triangular 60°, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel and cast iron (Walter Tools)

The TNMG160404-FP5 WKP01G is a triangular turning insert designed for external turning applications on steel and cast iron, offering robust chip control and extended tool life thanks to a specialised coating and dedicated chipbreaker geometry.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Designed for steel and cast iron machining
• Triangular 60° insert with 0° negative rake

Consistent productivity through optimised coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WKP01G carbide grade delivers a reliable balance between wear resistance and toughness. This results in longer tool life and fewer indexings, which increases uptime on production lathes. The coated hardmetal technology is engineered to withstand the thermal and abrasive conditions typical for machining P (steel) and K (cast iron) groups under ISO 513, so operators can expect stable performance across medium to high cutting speeds. In practical terms, this means fewer tool changes and a lower cost per component for repetitive turning operations.

Precise chip control and secure cutting geometry for safer machining

The insert features the FP5 chipbreaker, a 0° negative rake, and a 0.4 mm corner radius, which together provide controlled chip formation and reliable surface finish. The FP5 geometry is tailored to break and evacuate chips efficiently when working with both unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as various cast-iron grades, reducing the risk of built-up edge and unexpected interruptions. The triangular 60° form permits multiple indexings per insert, improving economy while the tolerance class M ensures reproducible fitment in standard toolholders, supporting consistent results across tool assemblies.

Simple integration, reliable economics and predictable results

The designation indicates a compact insert profile—16 mm inscribed circle and a nominal thickness equivalent to the 04 series—making it compatible with common turning toolholders for external operations. The TNMG geometry supports straightforward mounting and positive seating, while the WKP01G sort offers broad material coverage, simplifying tooling decisions for mixed production runs. The result is an insert that combines process security with cost-conscious operation: fewer interruptions, stable surface quality and clear indexing advantages translate into measurable production benefits over time.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160404-FP5 WKP01G is optimised for steel (P) and cast iron (K) applications, providing reliable wear resistance and chip control for these ISO material groups.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating improve performance?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WKP01G grade reduces abrasive wear and increases thermal resistance, which extends the insert life and helps maintain consistent surface finish during longer production runs.

What does the FP5 chipbreaker do?
The FP5 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, controlled chips in both steel and cast iron, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of chip entanglement in turning operations.

Is this insert compatible with common TNMG toolholders?
Yes, the TNMG160404-FP5 geometry and tolerance class M ensure compatibility with standard TNMG toolholders for external turning; correct seating provides secure clamping and repeatable results.

What surface quality can be expected with a 0.4 mm corner radius?
A 0.4 mm corner radius balances tool strength and finish quality, offering a good compromise for general turning where moderate edge strength and decent surface roughness are required.
