TPGN160308 WPP20G — indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel | Walter Tools

The TPGN160308 WPP20G is a triangular indexable turning insert engineered for steel machining, combining a coated carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family with geometry optimised for repeatable performance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide for high productivity
• Designed for steel machining (ISO group P)
• 60° triangle shape with 0.8 mm corner radius
• 11° clearance angle for stable cutting performance

Consistent performance for steel turning with reduced process risk

The coated carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness that is aimed specifically at steel applications (ISO group P). The insert’s geometry—a 60° triangle with a 0.8 mm corner radius—supports consistent cutting forces and reliable edge engagement, which reduces vibration and contributes to stable chip formation. For production environments that prioritise uptime and repeatability, this geometry helps to maintain surface finish quality and extend tool life, resulting in improved overall process efficiency.

Coating and edge geometry that support higher machining rates

The combination of a modern coating and the substrate’s mechanical properties creates an insert that resists abrasion while maintaining a robust cutting edge. The coated carbide composition is tailored to withstand the typical heat and chip formation encountered when machining unalloyed and alloyed steel, allowing operators to exploit more aggressive cutting parameters where process capability permits. The 11° clearance angle further assists by reducing rubbing on the flank face, lowering heat transfer to the insert and supporting consistent component tolerances under production loads.

Practical application guidance for workshop integration

Designed as a drop-in cutting edge for standard toolholders that accept the TPGN form, this insert simplifies inventory management thanks to its common triangular format and recognised ISO designation. The WPP20G grade is described as a universal-to-wear-resistant option within the Tiger·tec Gold series, making it suitable for a broad range of turning operations from general finishing to semi-roughing in steel. For selection support or to determine recommended cutting speeds, feeds and depths of cut for specific steels, Metav Werkzeuge can supply application sheets and advise on the best toolholder pairings to match shop requirements.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The insert is specified for steel machining (ISO group P); the WPP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold technology are optimised for unalloyed and alloyed steels.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for improved tool life and helps achieve a more robust surface finish in turning operations, particularly under variable cutting conditions.

Is the insert compatible with standard TPGN toolholders?
Yes, the triangular form and ISO designation correspond to common toolholder interfaces for TPGN-style indexable turning inserts.
