TNMG160408-RP5 WPP10G turning insert — coated carbide for steel, Walter Tools

TNMG160408-RP5 WPP10G is a triangular indexable turning insert engineered for robust and productive steel machining, offering a wear-resistant graded coating and a chipformer optimised for stable cutting.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• WPP10G grade for wear resistance
• RP5 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Triangular 60° form with 0.8 mm corner radius

Consistent cutting performance for steel production

The Tiger·tec Gold technology provides a coated carbide surface that resists abrasive wear and thermal degradation, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes. The WPP10G grade is formulated specifically for steel (ISO P) applications, balancing toughness and wear resistance to cope with the heat and chip formation typical of continuous and interrupted cuts. This combination reduces downtime and improves process stability, especially in medium- to high-volume turning operations.

Reliable chip control and improved surface quality

The RP5 chipbreaker is designed to generate short, controllable chips when machining steel, lowering the risk of chip entanglement and tool damage. The insert’s triangular 60° geometry and 0.8 mm corner radius deliver a robust cutting edge that supports both finishing and semi-finishing passes, helping to achieve consistent surface finish. The insert’s negative rake (0°) increases edge strength for tougher cuts and interrupted surfaces, giving predictable performance in varied turning conditions.

Simple integration and repeatable productivity

Tolerance class M and the standard TNMG designation ensure compatibility with widely used toolholders and setups, enabling quick index changes and predictable clamping. The insert thickness and dimensional specifications follow industry norms, so toolroom adaptation is straightforward. By using a grade optimised for steel and the modern Tiger·tec Gold coating, users gain a favourable balance between tool life and machining economy, supporting repeatable results and lower overall operating costs.
