TNMG160404-MP3 WPP30G turning insert – Tiger·tec Gold coated, for steel (Walter Tools)

The TNMG160404-MP3 WPP30G is a triangle 60° turning insert engineered for reliable and productive steel machining across a wide range of cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• Optimised MP3 chipbreaker
• Triangle 60° form, 0.4 mm nose radius
• Negative 0° rake for stable cutting

Consistent chip control for higher productivity

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the MP3 chipbreaker ensures consistently controlled chip formation during turning operations. The coated carbide construction delivers improved wear resistance under the typical temperatures encountered when machining steel, while the chipbreaker geometry reduces the risk of long, entangling chips and helps to maintain a steady metal removal rate. As a result, process interruptions are minimised and cycle times become more predictable, supporting a more efficient production flow.

Robust edge geometry for repeatable performance

The insert’s triangle 60° configuration with a 0.4 mm nose radius and negative 0° rake provides a strong cutting edge that resists chipping and performs well in interrupted cuts. The combination of edge shape and tolerance class supports consistent contact with the workpiece and helps to extend edge life, which reduces the frequency of index changes. This robustness translates into fewer tool interventions on the shop floor and enhanced overall equipment effectiveness.

Tailored for ISO P materials and standard turning tasks

Designed for the ISO P material group, this grade is optimised for typical steel applications — from general-purpose turning to more demanding alloyed steel operations. The material coding indicates suitability for unalloyed and alloyed steels and the coated carbide grade balances hardness and toughness to cope with the heat and forces of steel machining. For customers with mixed batches or variable feed rates, the insert offers reliable performance without the need for constant parameter adjustments.

Practical integration and production benefits

The geometry and designation conform to standard TNMG interfaces, allowing quick replacement in compatible toolholders and reducing setup time. The WPP30G grade aims to provide an economical balance between tool life and surface quality, meaning fewer tool changes and stable part tolerances over longer runs. For manufacturing environments seeking reproducibility and lower per-piece tooling cost, this insert supports reproducible results while simplifying inventory thanks to its universal steel focus.
