TNMG160408-MP3 WPP10G — Triangle 60° turning indexable insert, Tiger·tec Gold by Walter Tools

The TNMG160408-MP3 WPP10G is a triangle 60° turning insert engineered for robust steel machining, combining a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade with an MP3 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation and consistent cutting performance

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WPP10G
• Triangle 60° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• MP3 chipbreaker optimised for steel machining

Increase productivity with a wear-resistant grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G carbide grade gives a distinct advantage where thermal loads and abrasive wear are common. The surface coating reduces flank wear and supports higher metal removal rates while maintaining dimensional stability. The MP3 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, controlled chips when machining steel, which reduces interruptions and allows longer uninterrupted cycles. For manufacturing contexts that prioritise predictable tool life and low scrap rates, this insert provides a quantifiable improvement to process efficiency.

Achieve repeatable edge stability and surface quality

A triangle 60° geometry with a corner radius of 0.8 mm and a negative 0° rake contributes to a robust cutting edge that resists chipping under interrupted cuts and heavy engagement. The tolerance class M supports consistent seating in toolholders, reducing variation between inserts and enabling reliable repeatability across batches. These characteristics translate directly into improved surface finish and less frequent tool changes, which benefits both throughput and downstream operations where consistent part quality is critical.

Clear application range and process guidance

Designed for ISO material group P, the insert is particularly suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steel grades where typical steel chip formation and thermal behaviour apply. The insert’s designation and chipbreaker recommend it for general turning and medium to heavy finishing passes. Selection of cutting speeds, feeds and coolant strategy should follow material-specific guidelines; for tailored machining parameters and process validation, technical consultation is advised to match the coated carbide grade and chip control to the component requirements
