TNMG220408-RP5 WPP10G turning insert by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold, RP5 chipbreaker

The TNMG220408-RP5 WPP10G is a triangular 60° turning insert designed for steady, reliable steel machining where predictable chip control and long tool life are priorities.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended life
• RP5 chipbreaker optimised for steel
• Triangle 60° geometry for versatile applications
• 0° negative clearance for robust cutting

Consistent performance for steel machining

The Tiger·tec Gold grade WPP10G combines a coated carbide substrate with a process-orientated design to deliver consistent edge life when machining steel (P). The RP5 chipbreaker is tuned to create manageable, broken chips at typical cutting parameters for unalloyed and alloyed steels, reducing interruptions and easing swarf handling. This results in fewer tool changes and higher uptime on the machine, supporting continuous production runs with predictable outcomes.

Durable coating and stable cutting edge reduce costs

The insert’s Tiger·tec Gold coating improves resistance to abrasive wear and thermal loading compared with uncoated grades, which translates into extended operating life and more stable cutting-edge geometry over time. The choice of a coated grade minimises rework and unplanned downtime, yielding a verifiable improvement in tool economy for component series production. For operations seeking reproducible results, the combination of grade and geometry offers measurable savings through longer edge life and reduced handling.

Geometry and edge form for reliable chip control

A triangular 60° form with a 0.8 mm nose radius provides a balance between strength and finish capability, while the 0° (negative) relief enhances edge robustness under interrupted cuts and moderate depths of cut. The RP5 chipbreaker focuses chip formation specifically for steel applications, producing short, controllable chips across a range of feeds. For users less familiar with insert terminology, this means fewer tool-related stoppages and improved operator safety thanks to predictable swarf behaviour.

Practical selection and integration into production

This insert is supplied in the TNMG format and carries a tolerance class of M, making it suitable for standard toolholders and automated tool change systems that accept TNMG geometry. The WPP10G grade is positioned for universal steel machining tasks, offering a compromise between wear resistance and toughness for mixed-production environments. For integration advice or parameter recommendations, Metav Werkzeuge can provide cutting data and application support to match the insert to specific machine and workpiece conditions.
