TNMG160408-MP5 WPP10G – Indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold for steel | Walter Tools

A TNMG160408-MP5 WPP10G indexable turning insert engineered for robust steel machining, combining Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide and an MP5 chipbreaker for predictable performance

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated grade WPP10G
• MP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Triangle 60° insert with 0.8 mm nose radius
• Negative 0° rake for robust finishing cuts

Maximise productivity with longer tool life

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade delivers a balance between wear resistance and toughness, extending service intervals in serial production. The coated carbide substrate improves thermal stability under the heat typical of steel turning, which reduces flank wear and helps to maintain consistent dimensional accuracy over longer runs. This means fewer tool changes and a steadier production flow for lathes and CNC turning centres.

Achieve reliable chip control and surface quality

The MP5 chipbreaker is configured to produce short, manageable chips when machining steel, reducing risk to workpiece and toolholder. Controlled chip formation results in less machine downtime for chip clearing and contributes to improved surface finish on the turned component. Combined with the 0.8 mm nose radius, the geometry supports fine surface generation while remaining robust enough for finishing and light semi‑finishing operations.

Suited for steel machining according to ISO P

This insert is specified for the ISO P material group, i.e. unalloyed and alloyed steel, and is optimised for the heat and chip behaviour characteristic of these materials. The triangle 60° form offers three usable cutting edges per index, while the negative 0° rake contributes to a stronger cutting edge for interrupted cuts and heavier feeds. The specification supports a wide range of turning tasks where predictable performance on steel is required.

Designed for precision and repeatability in production environments

Tolerance class M together with the standard TNMG geometry ensures consistent seating and repeatable indexing in compatible toolholders. The insert dimensions (size 16, thickness 4.0 mm) and the coated carbide construction are aimed at workshops seeking a productive, low‑maintenance cutting solution. The overall package is suited to manufacturers who prioritise steady throughput and reproducible component quality.
