TPMR160308 WPP20G Turning indexable insert — triangle 60°, r0.8 — Walter Tools

The TPMR160308 WPP20G is a coated turning indexable insert designed for steel machining, combining the Tiger·tec Gold coating technology with a universal-grade balance of wear resistance and toughness.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• For steel machining (ISO P)
• Triangle 60° form, corner r=0.8 mm
• Free angle 11° for stable cutting
• Tolerance class M precision

High productivity through advanced coated grade

The Tiger·tec Gold coating and coated carbide substrate deliver a noticeable increase in productivity when machining steels. The combination of a wear-resistant surface and a substrate tuned for toughness reduces flank wear and the need for frequent index changes. For production shops, this translates into fewer interruptions, a lower cost per component and longer, predictable tool life. The insert is engineered to support efficient material removal while maintaining consistent dimensional results.

Geometry that stabilises chip flow and surface finish

The triangular 60° form and corner radius 0.8 mm offer a stable cutting edge suited to a range of turning tasks, especially where controlled chip formation matters. The 11° free angle helps maintain a secure cutting engagement, reducing rubbing and heat build-up at the edge. Together, these geometric features improve surface finish and reduce vibration on medium-duty turning operations, making the insert particularly useful where consistent workpiece quality is required.

Consistent precision for serial production

With tolerance class M, the insert supports reproducible results in repetitive turning processes. The precise geometry and coating synergy result in a reliable cutting edge that keeps dimensional deviations low across multiple indexings. For workshops moving from prototype to batch production, the predictable behaviour of this grade minimises process variation and supports tighter process control without complex adjustment routines.

Practical application notes and grade characteristics

The grade is specified for steel (ISO P) and is balanced between wear resistance and toughness to suit typical steel turning challenges. The product designation emphasises versatility: it can handle a variety of unalloyed and alloyed steels under standard turning conditions. Selection of cutting data should follow machine capability and workpiece rigidity; for tailored parameter recommendations and optimisation, technical consultation is recommended to match the insert to the intended operation.
