TNMG160404-MP3 WPP20G Drehwendeschneidplatte – Tiger·tec Gold, 0° negative rake, Walter Tools

The TNMG160404-MP3 WPP20G is a triangular indexable insert designed for versatile steel turning applications, offering robust chip control and the performance of Tiger·tec Gold coating.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Optimised MP3 chipbreaker for steel
• Triangle 60° form, 16 mm size
• 0° negative rake for stable cutting

Consistent productivity through a high-performance grade

The combination of a coated carbide substrate and the Tiger·tec Gold technology delivers a reliable balance between wear resistance and toughness. This makes the insert particularly suited to continuous and serial machining of Steel (P) where thermal and mechanical stresses are common. The WPP20G grade is engineered to maintain a stable cutting edge, reducing the frequency of index changes and contributing directly to uptime and predictable tool costs.

Predictable chip control and stable cutting geometry

Equipped with the MP3 chipbreaker, the insert ensures controlled chip formation under typical steel cutting conditions, which simplifies swarf handling and minimises interruptions. The triangle 60° geometry combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between strength and finishing capability. The 0° negative rake increases edge robustness, supporting interrupted cuts and heavy cross-sections while maintaining dimensional stability.

Application guidance and machining advantages

For general turning operations in unalloyed and alloyed steels, the insert achieves consistent surface quality and process security. The tolerance class M and the standardised 16 mm size simplify toolholder selection and indexing procedures. As a universal solution within the Tiger·tec Gold family, this insert supports a wide range of speeds and feeds, favouring shop-floor flexibility and fewer inventory variants when machining diverse steel grades.

Integration and handling in the tool system

The insert thickness code and triangular form make it compatible with common clamping systems for TNMG-style inserts. The robust edge properties of WPP20G support repeatable performance and enable cost-effective operations across medium and high-volume production. Where process reliability and reproducible results are priorities, the insert’s design reduces the need for excessive trial-and-error in parameter set-up.
