0° negative rake for robust cutting performance

Longer tool life through optimised coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G carbide grade delivers high wear resistance and consistent edge stability when machining steel. Coated carbide reduces flank wear during continuous and semi-continuous cuts, which translates into fewer indexings and longer service intervals. For operations where reproducible performance matters, the coated substrate helps maintain cutting parameters over longer runs, improving process reliability and lowering overall tooling consumption.

Consistent chip control and improved surface quality

The integrated MS3 chipbreaker is tuned to create predictable chip forms when cutting typical steels, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of chip re-cutting. The 60° triangular geometry combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and the ability to achieve acceptable surface finish on turning applications. This geometry supports stable cutting forces and simplifies toolpath planning in turning centres, making it easier to meet dimensional and surface requirements with fewer rejects.

Robust geometry for versatile workshop use

A 0° negative rake gives the insert a particularly strong cutting edge for interrupted cuts, higher feeds or tougher material batches, while the tolerance class M signals consistent manufacturing quality and repeatability from index to index. The insert’s design supports efficient set-up changes and straightforward indexation, which helps reduce downtime in mixed-production environments. As a product from Walter Tools, the insert is aimed at delivering dependable, industrial-grade performance for ordinary and demanding steel turning tasks.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is designed primarily for machining steel; the WPP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating are optimised for the thermal and chip-formation characteristics of steels.

How does the MS3 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MS3 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which enhances surface quality and reduces the risk of chip-related interruptions during turning.

Is the geometry suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the 0° negative rake and triangular form deliver a robust cutting edge well suited to interrupted cuts and variable operating conditions.

Can the tolerance class M be expected across production batches?
Tolerance class M indicates consistent dimensional accuracy and repeatability between inserts, supporting predictable setup and part conformity.
