TNMG160408-MP5 WPP30G Drehwendeschneidplatte – Tiger‑tec Gold, for Steel (Walter Tools)

A TNMG160408-MP5 WPP30G indexable turning insert designed for demanding steel machining, combining a hard‑coated carbide grade with an MP5 chipbreaker for predictable chips and consistent surface finish.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for high wear resistance
• Grade WPP30G optimised for steel machining
• MP5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Triangle 60° insert with 0.8 mm corner radius

Maximise uptime with a grade engineered for steel

The Tiger‑tec Gold WPP30G grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness tailored for the heat and chip formation typical of steel turning. As a coated carbide solution, it reduces flank wear and extends cutting-edge life under continuous machining. The result is fewer tool changes and a more predictable production rhythm, helping plants to maintain cycle times and reduce unplanned downtime.

Predictable chip control and process reliability

The MP5 chipbreaker geometry provides reliable chips across common steel alloys, improving evacuation and minimising rework. The negative 0° rake and triangular cutting geometry contribute to robust edge strength, making the insert suitable for interrupted cuts and mixed production batches. For operators, this means a lower risk of tool edge failure and more consistent surface quality without needing complex toolpath adjustments.

Easy integration and operator benefits

With a 60° triangular form and a 0.8 mm corner radius the insert fits many standard turning pockets, simplifying tooling decisions at the machine. The moderate corner radius supports both finishing and light roughing, reducing the need for multiple dedicated grades. Handling and mounting are straightforward, and the coated surface helps maintain dimensional accuracy over longer tool life, translating to fewer set‑ups and less scrap.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WPP30G grade is designed for steel machining (ISO group P); the insert performs well on unalloyed and alloyed steels typical in general turning applications.

How does the MP5 chipbreaker improve production?
The MP5 chipbreaker on the TNMG160408-MP5 reduces long and entangling chips, improving evacuation and consistency; this leads to fewer stoppages and better surface finish during steel turning operations.

Can this insert be used for finishing and roughing?
With its 0.8 mm corner radius and robust coated edge, the insert supports light roughing and finishing passes, offering flexibility where a single grade is preferred for varying cuts.

Is this an original Walter Tools product and where to obtain technical support?
The TNMG160408-MP5 WPP30G is an original Walter Tools Tiger‑tec Gold insert; Metav Werkzeuge can provide technical advice, availability and application support.
