TNMG160408-FP5 WPP20G – Triangle 60° turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold by Walter Tools

TNMG160408-FP5 WPP20G is a coated carbide turning insert designed for productive steel machining with a FP5 chipbreaker

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP20G
• Optimised for steel (ISO P) machining
• FP5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Triangle 60° form, 0.8 mm corner radius

High-performance coating for longer tool life

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G substrate delivers significantly improved wear resistance in demanding steel applications. The multilayer coating reduces flank wear and abrasion, which translates into fewer insert changes and higher uptime on the machine. This performance-oriented finish is particularly beneficial where consistent edge retention is required for serial turning operations on unalloyed and alloyed steel (ISO P).

Stable chip control that supports reliable machining

The tailored FP5 chipbreaker geometry provides controlled chip formation across a broad range of cutting parameters. Stable chips reduce the risk of edge damage and machine downtime while improving surface consistency on the workpiece. For job shops and production environments seeking reproducible results, this geometry helps to maintain process stability and lowers the likelihood of unexpected interruptions.

Geometry engineered for precision and repeatability

The triangle 60° insert form with a 0.8 mm corner radius balances strength and profile accuracy: the robust corner supports interrupted cuts and roughing, while the acute geometry enables accurate profiling in finishing passes. The negative 0° clearance/rake enhances edge security under variable cutting forces, offering repeatable performance when switching between different steel grades and cutting conditions.

Practical handling and selection guidance

The designation and format of the insert make it straightforward to integrate into standard toolholders for indexable turning. Selection of the WPP20G grade is recommended where a combination of reasonable toughness and wear resistance is needed across general steel machining tasks. For optimal results, match cutting parameters to workpiece material and process goals—lower feeds for fine finishes, higher feeds for roughing—so the coating and chipbreaker can deliver their intended benefits without premature edge stress.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The insert is specified for machining steel (ISO P); the WPP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating are tuned for the thermal and chip-formation behaviour typical of steel turning.

How does the FP5 chipbreaker affect performance?
The FP5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, supporting stable cutting forces and consistent surface quality when turning steels.

Is the negative 0° clearance suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the negative 0° geometry increases edge strength, making the insert resilient during interrupted cuts and heavy engagement operations.

Which toolholders accept this triangle insert form?
Triangle 60° inserts of this designation fit standard toolholders designed for TNMG-style indexable inserts; ensure holder compatibility with the insert seating and clamping method.

What benefits does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating enhances wear resistance and edge life, helping to reduce insert consumption and maintain process consistency across extended production runs.
