VNMG160404-MP5 WPP10G turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold for Stahl — Walter Tools

The VNMG160404-MP5 WPP10G is a rhombic 35° indexable turning insert designed for general-purpose and medium-duty turning of Stahl, featuring the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the MP5 chipbreaker for dependable chip control.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for enhanced wear resistance
• MP5 chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• Rhombic 35° geometry with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 0° negative rake for robust cutting performance

High productivity thanks to a wear‑resistant coating

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating combined with the WPP10G grade provides a measurable improvement in tool life and process stability when machining Stahl (P). The coated carbide substrate is engineered to withstand the typical temperatures and chip behaviour of steel turning, which reduces the frequency of insert changes and supports uninterrupted production cycles. This configuration is particularly appropriate where long tool life and low variance in performance are priorities.

Consistent chip control and surface integrity

The MP5 chipbreaker was developed to produce predictable chips across a variety of cutting parameters, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface finish. The rhombic 35° cutting geometry combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius helps to distribute cutting forces evenly, which benefits both tool life and part quality. For operations that demand reproducible chip evacuation and consistent results, this geometry-chipbreaker pairing increases reliability on the shop floor.

Robust geometry for demanding turning conditions

A 0° (negative) rake angle and the specified plate thickness align the insert with tougher and interrupted cuts, giving mechanical strength at the cutting edge and enhanced resistance to edge chipping. The tolerance class M ensures dimensional consistency for indexable insert seating and repeatable tool offsets. These design choices favour operators who require predictable, repeatable performance in medium-duty to heavy-duty turning tasks.

Application range and practical assignment

The grade is optimised for Stahl (P) applications per ISO 513 and covers a spectrum from wear-resistant to tougher steels (grade indications 10, 20, 30/35). The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold technology and the MP5 chipbreaker makes this insert a balanced choice for mixed production runs that include a variety of steel grades. For grade selection and matching to cutting conditions, the product line from Walter Tools offers clear assignment logic to aid process planning.
