TNMG160408-RP5 WPP05G – indexable turning insert for steel, Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Gold, 0.8 mm corner radius

The TNMG160408-RP5 WPP05G is a triangular indexable insert designed for efficient turning of steel, combining an optimised chipbreaker with a robust coated-carbide grade for industrial metalcutting.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Optimised RP5 chipbreaker for steel turning
• Triangular 60° geometry with 0.8 mm edge

Higher throughput through coating and chip control

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP05G grade delivers measurable productivity gains in steel applications. The coated-carbide construction is engineered to withstand the thermal and mechanical loads typical of ISO P materials, which means fewer tool changes and more uninterrupted machining time. The integrated RP5 chipbreaker is tailored for predictable chip formation when turning steel, helping to reduce cycle times and improve process efficiency without additional operator intervention.

Predictable wear and improved surface quality

A controlled cutting geometry reduces unexpected wear and supports repeatable results. The 0.8 mm corner radius and 0° (negative) relief angle create a stable cutting edge that balances strength and cutting performance, producing consistent finishes over extended tool life. This combination helps maintain dimensional accuracy and surface integrity on turned components, making it suitable for series production where reproducibility is critical.

Robust geometry that lowers downtime

The triangular 60° insert shape offers three usable cutting edges per indexable plate, improving economy and reducing tool change frequency. The plate thickness and overall geometry, together with the RP5 chip control, simplify swarf evacuation and minimise the risk of chip-related interruptions. As a result, set-up time is optimised and machine uptime is increased, supporting reliable production flow in busy workshops.

Application guidance and compatibility

This insert is specified for turning operations in steel in accordance with the ISO P grouping; the WPP05G grade gives a balance between wear resistance and toughness for a wide range of steels. For applications beyond general steel turning, or for recommendations on feeds, speeds and holder selection, consult Metav Werkzeuge’s technical team to match the insert to machine and part requirements. The product is part of a series engineered for industrial machining where process security and repeatable performance are priorities.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The TNMG160408-RP5 WPP05G insert by Walter Tools is specified for steel (ISO P); the WPP05G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating are optimised for the thermal and chip-formation behaviour of steels.

How does the RP5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The RP5 chipbreaker improves chip control during steel turning, promoting short, manageable chips and reducing the likelihood of swarf-related interruptions when using the TNMG160408-RP5 WPP05G insert.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular 60° form provides three cutting edges per insert, extending usable life before indexing and improving cost-efficiency in serial production.

What does the 0.8 mm corner radius mean for finishing?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a good compromise between edge strength and surface finish, supporting stable operation and repeatable surface quality on turned parts.

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel or other materials?
The TNMG160408-RP5 WPP05G is targeted at ISO P (steel); suitability for stainless steel or specialised alloys is not specified here and should be verified with Metav Werkzeuge for the intended application.
