TNMG160404-FW5 WPP20G – Indexable turning insert for Stahl machining by Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Gold, 0° negative rake

The TNMG160404-FW5 WPP20G is a triangular indexable turning insert engineered for general Stahl machining, offering a coated carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Gold series for stable cutting performance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for reliable edge stability
• FW5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Triangle 60° form for three cutting edges
• Suitable for Stahl machining (ISO P)

High-performance coating and predictable edge life

The Tiger·tec Gold coating together with the WPP20G substrate provides a combination of wear resistance and thermal stability that suits continuous and interrupted turning of Stahl. The coated carbide grade is designed to tolerate the typical heat and chip formation of steel cutting, which translates into consistent tool life and less frequent index changes. For production environments seeking steady cycle times, this combination reduces unexpected tool failures and supports process reliability.

Controlled chip formation and improved surface finish

The FW5 chipbreaker ensures predictable chip control across a range of feeds and depths of cut, reducing the risk of snarling or long, unbroken chips in turning. Better-managed chips lead to safer machining and more consistent contact between tool and workpiece, which improves the achievable surface quality. Where finish and dimensional stability matter, the insert’s geometry and chipbreaker work together to maintain cutting-edge micro-geometry throughout the life of the insert.

Productivity through shape, edge radius and repeatability

The triangular 60° geometry provides three usable cutting edges per insert, lowering part-per-edge costs and simplifying inventory handling. The specified corner radius of 0.4 mm increases edge strength for moderate depths of cut while supporting repeatable part production. The insert’s 0° negative rake gives a robust edge for heavier cuts and helps maintain process security in tougher turning applications, contributing to measurable uptime improvements on the shop floor.

Application range and process guidance

Classified for ISO group P, the insert is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed Stahl where a balance of wear resistance and toughness is required. The Tiger·tec Gold series aims at a wide material coverage with stable chip formation and good cutting-edge durability. For best results, match cutting data to machine rigidity and workpiece clamping; consult tooling charts for feed and speed ranges aligned to the chosen carbide grade and chipbreaker to exploit the insert’s full potential.
