TNMG220412-MP5 (TNMG220412-MP5 WPP30G) WPP30G – Turning insert for steel — Walter Tools

The TNMG220412-MP5 WPP30G is a triangular turning insert designed for efficient steel machining, featuring a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade and an MP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for reliable tool life
• WPP30G grade optimised for steel machining
• Triangle 60° insert for versatile turning operations
• Corner radius 1.2 mm for stable cutting edge

Boost productivity through wear-resistant coating and predictable performance

The combination of a Tiger·tec Gold coating with the WPP30G carbide grade delivers a balance of hardness and toughness tailored to ISO P materials, meaning unalloyed and alloyed steel. The coated carbide substrate provides consistent wear resistance, which reduces the frequency of index changes and supports longer uninterrupted production cycles. The MP5 chipbreaker is engineered to shape chips reliably during medium to heavy turning of steels, lowering the risk of built-up edge and improving surface quality. For machinists seeking to increase throughput without sacrificing repeatability, this insert offers a measurable improvement in process stability thanks to the coating technology and the grade’s thermal resistance.

Secure clamping and stable cutting for reliable part quality

The insert’s triangle 60° geometry supplies multiple usable cutting corners per indexable insert, while the corner radius 1.2 mm contributes to a robust cutting edge that dampens vibration. The 0° (negative) rake provides a secure seating under higher cutting forces and supports interrupted cuts or heavier depths of cut without edge failure. Together these features reduce chatter and dimensional variation, which in turn cuts rework and scrap. The design is particularly suitable where consistent component tolerance and surface finish are required in series production or subcontract machining.

Practical application guidance and material compatibility

Designed for turning tasks classified under ISO group P, the insert is intended primarily for machining various steels. The MP5 chipbreaker and the WPP30G grade favour a combination of good chip control and wear performance, making the insert suitable for both finishing and medium roughing when parameters are matched to the workpiece and machine capability. When switching to different steel grades or when cycle times are critical, contacting the supplier for optimised feeds and speeds will help exploit the insert’s full potential. Coolant use and appropriate clamping are recommended to extend edge life and maintain consistent results across batches.
