• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust cutting

Increased productivity for steel turning with durable coating

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and a coated carbide substrate is engineered for the thermal and mechanical demands of machining steel (ISO P). The grade offers a balanced microstructure — wear-resistant where needed and sufficiently tough to resist chipping — which translates directly into longer tool life and fewer changeovers. With the FP5 chipbreaker, chip control is optimised for common turning conditions in unalloyed and alloyed steels, reducing interruptions caused by poor chip evacuation and improving cycle times. This results in a measurable uplift in process efficiency when compared with conventional grades.

Stable cutting edge and predictable process security

A 0° (negative) relief angle and a 1.2 mm corner radius provide a robust cutting geometry that resists edge deformation under intermittent cuts or heavy engagement. The insert’s tolerance class M ensures consistent seating and repeatable results across index changes, supporting tight production tolerances. These design choices reduce the risk of edge failure and enable higher feed rates without compromising surface finish. The result is a more predictable machining process, which is particularly valuable in series production and when machining variable steel batches.

Practical indexing and straightforward integration into workflows

The 60° triangular form gives three usable cutting edges per insert, making it economical to stock and quick to replace in standard TNMG toolholders. The plate size (16) and plate thickness (04) align with common holder families, easing retrofits and inventory management. Thanks to the FP5 breaker and the grade’s behaviour with steel, finishing passes can achieve consistent surface quality while roughing benefits from stable chip formation. For complex requirements or toolpath optimisation, expert application advice is available to match the insert to the machine, holder and cutting parameters.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for general steel turning tasks?

The TNMG160412-FP5 WPP10G is tailored for steel (ISO P) applications; the Tiger·tec Gold coating and FP5 chipbreaker make it suitable for both roughing and finishing in unalloyed and alloyed steels.

What benefits does the FP5 chipbreaker provide?

FP5 delivers controlled chip formation and improved evacuation in typical steel turning conditions, helping to maintain stable cutting forces and reliable surface finish.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?

The triangular 60° form offers three indexable cutting edges, enabling economical utilisation and quick replacement in compatible TNMG holders.

Does the insert tolerate interrupted cuts and heavier engagement?

Yes; the negative relief angle and 1.2 mm corner radius provide a robust edge that withstands intermittent loading and allows conservative increases in feed without rapid edge wear.
