TNMG160408-MW5 WPP20G – Turning insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating (Walter Tools)

The TNMG160408-MW5 WPP20G is a 60° triangular turning insert designed for reliable ISO P (steel) machining with a negative 0° rake angle and an optimised chipbreaker for stable cutting results

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for reliable tool life
• Suitable for machining steel (ISO P)
• MW5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 60° triangle with 0.8 mm corner radius

Consistent performance for modern steel turning

The insert features a WPP20G coated-carbine grade developed under the Tiger·tec Gold technology, which balances wear resistance and toughness for a broad range of steel applications. This coating improves thermal and oxidative resistance during interrupted cuts and high material removal rates, helping to maintain a consistent edge life. As a result, production runs benefit from fewer tool changes and more predictable component tolerances, supporting efficient process planning and lower unit costs.

Geometry that ensures predictable chip form and surface quality

With a MW5 chipbreaker and a triangular 60° shape, the geometry promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation for typical turning operations. The 0° negative rake angle adds strength to the cutting edge for robustness in heavier cuts, while the 0.8 mm corner radius supports repeatable edge geometry for good surface finish on turned parts. These design choices reduce chatter risk and simplify parameter selection on a variety of tool holders, enabling stable machining even under changing cutting conditions.

Practical advantages and recommended use

Designed primarily for steel (ISO P), the insert’s specification — including insert size and thickness codes — allows straightforward integration into common turning tool systems. The MW5 breaker offers flexible performance across finishing to medium roughing tasks, reducing the need for multiple grade changes. For production environments seeking a balance of tool life and process security, this solution delivers predictable wear behaviour and consistent workpiece quality, making it suitable for both batch production and continuous turning operations.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
The TNMG160408-MW5 WPP20G insert is specified for steel (ISO P) applications and its WPP20G grade is optimised for the thermal and chip-formation behaviour typical of steels.

What benefit does the MW5 chipbreaker offer?
The MW5 chipbreaker on this Walter Tools insert generates short, controllable chips and supports consistent evacuation, which improves process reliability and surface finish during turning.

Is the 0° rake angle suitable for heavy cuts?
A 0° (negative) rake angle increases cutting edge strength; the TNMG160408-MW5 WPP20G therefore performs reliably in more demanding cuts and interrupted operations.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating affect performance?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, extending edge life and enabling higher productivity across a range of steel turning tasks.
