TNMG160408-FW5 WPP20G Drehwendeschneidplatte for steel — Walter Tools

The TNMG160408-FW5 WPP20G is a triangular 60° turning insert, coated with Tiger‑tec Gold and optimised for efficient machining of steel (ISO P).

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide
• For ISO P materials (steel)
• Triangular 60° insert form
• Corner radius 0.8 mm, FW5 chip control

Productive chip control for steady cycle times

The Tiger‑tec Gold technology delivers a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability. The coated carbide grade WPP20G is tailored for steel turning, enabling predictable chip formation and reduced tendency to built-up edge. With the FW5 chipbreaker geometry, the insert supports continuous and semi-continuous chip shapes, which simplifies chip evacuation and helps maintain steady cycle times on medium- and high-volume production runs. The result is fewer interruptions and improved overall process efficiency.

Robust geometry for interrupted cuts and demanding operations

The insert’s triangular 60° form and 0° (negative) clearance provide a strong cutting edge that withstands shock and intermittent cutting. The 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and finish—supporting higher metal removal rates while preserving component surface quality. The tolerance class M ensures consistent fit and repeatability in toolholders, reducing set‑up time and the risk of chatter during critical operations.

Versatile integration and reliable provenance

Indexable inserts of this series fit common TNMG toolholders and allow quick indexing to restore cutting performance, minimising downtime. The coated WPP20G grade is a universal choice for a broad range of steel grades (ISO P), reducing the need for frequent insert changes and simplifying inventory. Backed by Walter Tools’ reputation for stable cutting edges and consistent tool life, this turning insert supports productive and repeatable machining in job shops and production environments.
