VNMG160404-MP5 WPP30G indexable turning insert — rhombic 35°, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The VNMG160404-MP5 WPP30G is a rhombic 35° indexable turning insert engineered for medium-to-high performance turning in Stahl, featuring a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade and an MP5 chipbreaker for stable chip formation.

Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
Optimised MP5 chipbreaker for Stahl
Rhombic 35° form, 0.4 mm corner radius
Negative 0° rake for robust cutting performance

Consistent performance through advanced grade and coating

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with the WPP30G carbide formulation gives a balance between wear resistance and toughness. This results in a stable cutting edge under the thermal and mechanical loads typical when machining Stahl. The coated hardmetal structure reduces flank wear and extends the burndown interval, which supports fewer index changes and more uptime on the lathe. For workshop managers and production planners, this translates into predictable tool life and improved productivity per toolholder.

Reliable chip control and surface quality for productive turning

The MP5 chipbreaker is designed to direct and segment chips consistently in turning of Stahl, reducing the risk of long, entangling swarf and supporting safe, repeatable operations. The rhombic 35° geometry with a 0.4 mm corner radius helps to achieve a controlled cutting engagement and improved surface finish when compared with more aggressive geometries. For operators with varying material batches, this insert provides a dependable compromise between robustness and surface quality, making it suitable for general turning applications and semi-finish passes.

Robust form and geometry for versatile setup compatibility

With a negative 0° rake and the VNMG form factor, the insert offers a sturdy cutting edge that resists chipping under interrupted cuts or heavier depth of cut. The standardised VNMG shape supports wide toolholder availability and straightforward index changes, simplifying tool management. The insert’s dimensions and tolerance class M ensure interchangeability in common turning systems, which helps to minimise setup time and supports a smooth production flow across multiple machines.

FAQ

What material groups is this insert suited for?
The VNMG160404-MP5 WPP30G is specified for machining Stahl; the WPP30G grade and MP5 chipbreaker are tuned for the thermal and chip-formation characteristics of Stahl.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit production?
Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP30G grade increases wear resistance and edge stability, meaning longer intervals between indexing and more consistent component quality when using the VNMG insert.

Is the MP5 chipbreaker suitable for semi-finish as well as roughing?
Yes, the MP5 geometry offers controlled chip segmentation that performs well across semi-finish and certain roughing conditions in Stahl turning, improving process reliability.

Can the VNMG160404-MP5 be used in interrupted cuts?
The negative 0° rake and robust edge integrity of this insert provide good resistance to chipping under interrupted cutting conditions.

Which toolholders are compatible with the VNMG shape?
The VNMG form is a standard indexable insert shape; compatible toolholders that accept rhombic 35° VNMG inserts are suitable for this grade and geometry.
