TNMG160404-MU5 TNMG160404-MU5 WPP10G for Stahl — Turning insert by Walter Tools

TNMG160404-MU5 WPP10G is a triangular turning insert designed for productive steel machining, combining a Tiger‑tec Gold grade with an MU5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for long tool life
• MU5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Triangle 60° form with 3 cutting edges
• Negative 0° rake for robust cutting

Maximise productivity with a wear‑resistant grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade delivers outstanding wear resistance and consistent performance when machining Stahl. The coated carbide construction is optimised for the heat and chip formation typical of steel turning, which reduces flank wear and helps to maintain dimensional stability over longer production runs. This results in fewer indexings and lower tooling costs per part.

Predictable chip control and surface quality

The MU5 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, manageable chips in a wide range of cutting conditions, improving process security and reducing the risk of entanglement. The insert’s corner radius 0.4 mm and Triangle 60° geometry contribute to a stable cutting edge and reliable surface finish. These features support repeatable component quality and minimise secondary operations.

Robust edge geometry for demanding operations

With a 0° (negative) rake, this insert offers a robust cutting edge suitable for interrupted cuts and heavy engagement. The execution class G and tolerance class M indicate consistent manufacturing precision, aiding reproducible clamping and predictable cutting forces. The triangular shape provides three usable edges per insert, improving cost efficiency in series production.

Practical compatibility and application scope

Identified for material group P, the grade is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed Stahl types commonly encountered in engineering and general machining. The insert’s size code (16) and thickness code (04) match standard toolholder interfaces for TNMG formats, enabling straightforward integration into existing turning setups. As part of the Tiger‑tec Gold family, the insert balances durability and versatility for mixed production runs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The TNMG160404-MU5 WPP10G turning insert is formulated for material group P and is optimised for machining Stahl, including common unalloyed and alloyed steels.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
Due to the triangular 60° form, the insert provides three usable cutting edges before replacement or re-indexing is required.

What benefits does the Tiger‑tec Gold grade offer in daily production?
The Tiger‑tec Gold grade enhances wear resistance and edge stability in steel turning, leading to longer tool life and more consistent part quality under varying cutting conditions.

Is the MU5 chipbreaker suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the MU5 chipbreaker produces controlled, short chips and the insert’s 0° (negative) rake offers a robust edge suitable for interrupted or heavy cuts.
