VNMG160404-FP5 WKP01G – Walter Tools turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold coated, FP5 chipbreaker

The VNMG160404-FP5 WKP01G is a rhombic 35° turning insert designed for productive machining of steel and cast iron, offering stable edge life and controlled chip formation in demanding industrial turning.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WKP01G
• Suitable for steel and cast iron (ISO P/K)
• Rhombic 35° geometry, 0.4 mm corner radius
• FP5 chipbreaker for consistent chip control

Engineered for durable performance and wide material coverage

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold series and the WKP01G grade gives the cutting edge a wear-resistant, multi-layer coating bonded to a high-quality carbide substrate. This construction reduces abrasive wear and thermal impact during common turning operations on steel and cast iron, extending tool life and reducing downtime. The coated substrate supports consistent cutting behaviour over longer tool cycles, which is particularly valuable for batch production and serial machining. The result is fewer tool changes and more predictable process windows.

Precision geometry that improves chip control and surface finish

The rhombic 35° form together with the FP5 chipbreaker produces short, controllable chips for a wide range of turning tasks. The defined 0.4 mm corner radius stabilises the cutting edge, improving edge strength for interrupted cuts and light roughing passes. The negative 0° rake (neutral/negative) favours robustness and helps to reduce vibrations under heavy cuts, which in turn supports a consistent surface finish and lowers the risk of edge chipping. The chipbreaker geometry is optimised to guide chips away from the tool and workpiece, reducing rework and machine stoppages.

Reliable process security and repeatable quality

Rated to tolerance class M, the insert is manufactured to tight dimensional standards that help ensure consistent clamping and reproducible results from one insert to the next. Consistent geometry and coating performance contribute directly to process stability, making the insert suitable for production environments where repeatability and uptime are priorities. The technical combination supports efficient machining strategies that balance cutting parameters with longer tool life, contributing to lower unit costs over production runs.

Practical applications and selection advice for workshop use

This insert is intended primarily for turning operations on materials classified under ISO groups P and K — that is, steel and cast iron. Depending on the specific fixture, machine and cutting data, the insert is suited to roughing and mixed finishing tasks where a sturdy edge and reliable chip control are needed. For selection of the optimal insert geometry and cutting data for a specific part, please consult Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors or supply documentation; they can recommend feeds, speeds and insert variants based on the component geometry and material.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for? This insert is designed for machining steel and cast iron (ISO groups P and K) and is optimised for those material behaviours.

How does the FP5 chipbreaker benefit machining? The FP5 chipbreaker promotes short, controlled chips that improve safety, reduce rework and assist consistent surface quality during turning.

Is the VNMG160404-FP5 WKP01G suitable for finishing cuts? Yes, the insert’s geometry and 0.4 mm corner radius make it suitable for mixed finishing and light finishing passes, depending on part requirements.

What does the negative 0° relief angle mean in practice? A negative 0° relief provides a robust cutting edge that reduces the tendency to chip under higher cutting loads and contributes to stable cutting behaviour.

How to choose cutting data for this insert? Cutting data depend on machine, workpiece clamping and operation. Metav Werkzeuge can advise on feeds and speeds for the VNMG160404-FP5 WKP01G based on the specific application.
