VNMG160408-MP5 WPP30G Turning Insert — Rhombus 35°, 0.8 r — Walter Tools

The VNMG160408-MP5 WPP30G is a coated indexable turning insert designed for reliable medium- to heavy-duty machining of Stahl, offering a durable grade and a controlled chip formation for stable production runs

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Grade WPP30G optimised for Stahl machining
• Rhombus 35° geometry with 0.8 mm corner radius
• MP5 chipbreaker for predictable chip control

Increased productivity through coating and chip control

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP30G cutting grade yields a measurable increase in process stability when machining Stahl. The coating reduces flank wear and improves thermal resistance, which extends edge life under cyclic loading. The MP5 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips in typical steel turning applications; this lowers the risk of chip-related interruptions and supports a higher material removal rate. For production environments seeking consistent output, the insert’s design contributes directly to reduced tool-change frequency and improved uptime.

Consistent surface finish and edge strength from geometry

A Rhombus 35° profile paired with a 0.8 mm corner radius offers a balance between cutting-edge strength and the ability to maintain a fine surface finish on machined components. The insert’s 0° (negative) clearance permits secure engagement for interrupted cuts and tougher feed conditions without sacrificing dimensional repeatability. Tolerance class M ensures that the indexable insert conforms to defined geometric expectations, supporting predictable positioning in standard toolholders and reliable reproduction of part geometry across multiple indexes.

Practical fit for standard turning operations and process integration

With a plate size of 16 and thickness code 04, this insert fits conventional VNMG toolholders and is intended for common turning routines on Stahl in accordance with ISO 513 material group P. The coated cemented carbide substrate of the WPP30G grade is tuned for the thermal and mechanical demands of steel turning, offering a compromise between wear resistance and toughness. Integration into existing machining processes is straightforward; technical data such as recommended feeds, speeds and depth of cut are available from Metav Werkzeuge to support setup and optimisation, helping to shorten ramp-up time and improve first-pass yield.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed to machine?
The VNMG160408-MP5 WPP30G is optimised for Stahl (ISO material group P), delivering controlled chip formation and thermal resistance suited to unalloyed and alloyed steels.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit production?
Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP30G grade increases wear resistance and heat tolerance, which extends edge life on the insert and improves process stability during continuous turning.

Which chip behaviour can be expected with the MP5 chipbreaker?
The MP5 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, manageable chips in Stahl turning operations, reducing the likelihood of chip entanglement and easing chip evacuation.

Is the geometry suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes; the Rhombus 35° shape with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 0° negative clearance provides robust edge support and secure engagement for interrupted or heavy-cut conditions.

Can cutting data for this insert be provided?
Cutting parameters and optimisation advice for the Walter Tools VNMG160408-MP5 WPP30G can be supplied; Metav Werkzeuge offers technical guidance and grade comparison data to assist process setup.
