TNMG160408-MU5 WPP05G turning indexable insert — Tiger·tec Gold, for steel (Walter Tools)

The TNMG160408-MU5 WPP05G is a triangular 60° coated carbide insert from the Tiger·tec Gold series, optimised for turning unalloyed and alloyed steel in ISO P applications with a robust MU5 chipbreaker.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Grade WPP05G optimised for steel machining
• Triangle 60° geometry with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for stable, interrupted cuts

Greater productivity through optimised grade and coating

The coated carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family delivers a measurable improvement in process stability and tool life. The combination of the WPP05G grade and advanced coating technology reduces flank wear and delays crater formation under typical steel turning conditions, which directly increases uptime and lowers cost per component. The insert’s MU5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation for a wide range of cutting parameters, enabling higher metal removal rates without sacrificing surface quality.

Predictable performance and repeatable results

Built for consistent behaviour in serial production, the insert’s triangle 60° shape and 0.8 mm corner radius provide a reliable cutting edge with good strength for general turning operations. The negative 0° rake increases edge robustness, especially in interrupted cuts or when light roughing is required. Thanks to the coating and substrate combination, users can expect stable wear patterns and repeatable part dimensions, supporting process standardisation and easier tool-life forecasting on the shop floor.

Practical application and selection guidance

This indexable insert is primarily suitable for machining tasks in the ISO P material group, covering unalloyed and alloyed steel commonly used in general engineering. The geometry and chipbreaker make it a versatile choice for roughing to semi-finishing operations. For customers seeking exact cutting data or optimisation for specific steels and machine setups, Metav Werkzeuge provides application support and can supply recommended speeds, feeds and holder recommendations to match individual production requirements.
