TNMG160408-FP5 WKP01G Turning Insert — Triangle 60°, Tiger‑tec Gold by Walter Tools

TNMG160408-FP5 WKP01G is a triangular turning insert designed for robust finishing and semi‑roughing of steels and cast irons in industrial turning operations.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WKP01G grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• Negative 0° rake for enhanced cutting edge strength
• Triangle 60° shape with 0.8 mm corner radius

High productivity through advanced coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WKP01G carbide grade provides a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness tailored for machining both steel and cast iron. This configuration reduces flank wear and extends durability, which in turn increases productivity by reducing tool changes and unplanned stops. The insert’s design supports stable cutting at varying feeds, making it suitable for mixed‑batch production where consistent quality and process reliability matter. The FP5 chipbreaker contributes to controlled chip formation, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and improving surface consistency.

Stable geometry for secure cutting and repeatability

A negative 0° relief angle together with the triangle 60° form gives this insert a robust cutting edge and multiple indexed sides for economical use. The 0.8 mm corner radius is a pragmatic compromise: it permits fine surface finishes while maintaining edge strength under interrupted cuts. These geometric choices minimise vibration and help keep tolerances within tighter bands, which is especially beneficial in serial turning where reproducibility is a priority. The solid edge stability supports predictable tool behaviour, shortening set‑up time and simplifying process planning.

Chip control and application guidance for consistent outcomes

The FP5 chipbreaker is engineered for medium to heavy chip segmentation when machining typical ISO P and K materials, promoting secure evacuation of chips in both continuous and interrupted cuts. According to ISO 513 groupings, the insert is suited to unalloyed and alloyed steels and a range of cast irons, offering versatile use across common workshop tasks. For best results, pair the insert with compatible toolholders sized for TNMG geometry and select cutting data that balances feed and speed to maintain the coating’s performance. The result is predictable wear behaviour and stable surface quality across batches.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160408-FP5 WKP01G is designed for machining steel and cast iron (ISO P and K groups), utilising the WKP01G grade and Tiger‑tec Gold technology for balanced wear resistance and toughness.

How does the FP5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FP5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip segmentation and evacuation in both continuous and interrupted cuts, improving surface finish and reducing chip‑related interruptions during turning.

What are the advantages of the negative 0° rake on this insert?
A 0° (negative) rake increases edge strength and resistance to chipping, making the insert particularly robust for interrupted cuts and for operations where tool life consistency is critical.

Which geometry aspects help with process reliability?
The triangle 60° shape offers multiple usable cutting edges while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances finish quality with edge strength, supporting reproducible results in serial production.
