TNMG160404-FW5 WPP10G triangular indexable turning insert — Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel

TNMG160404-FW5 WPP10G is a triangular indexable turning insert designed for efficient steel machining, offering robust chip control and consistent edge life for production turning.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long life
• FW5 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Triangular 60° geometry for flexible indexing
• 0° negative rake for stable heavy cuts

Maximise machining productivity on steel

The coated cemented carbide grade WPP10G in the Tiger·tec Gold series delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness tailored to steel applications (material group P). The combination of a hard, wear-resistant coating and a robust substrate reduces flank wear and maintains cutting-edge stability, which leads to fewer insert changes and increased machine uptime. The insert's geometry supports steady material removal rates while keeping operating costs predictable.

Consistent surface quality and reliable chip control

The FW5 chipbreaker and the triangular 60° geometry ensure controlled chip formation and evacuation during medium to heavy turning. The 0° (negative) relief angle increases edge security under interrupted cuts and heavier feeds, lowering the risk of edge chipping. A 0.4 mm corner radius contributes to a reliable cutting edge for improved surface finish without sacrificing strength. These attributes make the insert suitable for series production where repeatable part quality matters.

Practical compatibility and process guidance

The insert is supplied in the TNMG format, a common indexable insert family that allows rapid indexing and straightforward seat engagement in compatible toolholders. The size designation (16) and thickness code (04) indicate the insert dimensions for holder selection; the tolerance class M supports standard interchangeability. For shops integrating this grade, pairing the insert with stable clamping and appropriate cutting parameters for steel will yield the best balance between tool life and cycle time. If assistance is required in choosing cutting data or matching a holder, Metav Werkzeuge's technical advisors are available to help.
