Consistent cutting results for steel production

The Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G grade deliver a balance of wear resistance and toughness that is tuned for steel machining. The coated carbide formulation reduces flank wear under typical turning temperatures and extends tool life, while the FP5 chipbreaker ensures stable chip formation. For manufacturers requiring repeatable component tolerances and predictable tool-change intervals, this combination supports higher process reliability and fewer unplanned stoppages.

Geometry engineered for productivity and accessibility

The Trigon 80° shape provides robust cutting edge support and access to various turning contours. With a 0.4 mm corner radius and 0° negative rake, the insert offers a compromise between edge strength and cutting performance for medium to general turning tasks. The FP5 chipbreaker facilitates short, manageable chips when machining unalloyed and alloyed steels, improving machine uptime and simplifying chip handling in automated environments.

Practical benefits of the chipbreaker and coating

The FP5 chipbreaker is configured to control chip flow at common feed and speed ranges for steel, which leads to predictable heat distribution and reduced risk of built-up edge. Combined with the Tiger·tec Gold surface, the insert supports stable cutting even under variable feed conditions, translating into fewer reworks and improved surface finish. This technical setup is particularly useful for shops aiming to increase throughput while maintaining dimensional quality.

Integration into production workflows

The insert is compatible with standard WNMG toolholders and can be introduced into existing turning programmes without major process changes. Its tolerance class M ensures consistent geometry batch-to-batch, aiding tool qualification and process documentation. Production engineers will value the insert’s clear specification — from chipbreaker to corner radius — for straightforward machining data selection and easier cutting parameter optimisation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The WNMG060404-FP5 WPP20G is optimised for machining steel (ISO group P); the WPP20G grade and FP5 chipbreaker handle the typical heat and chip behaviour encountered with unalloyed and alloyed steels.

How does the FP5 chipbreaker affect surface finish?
The FP5 chipbreaker produces short, controlled chips and stabilises cutting forces, which helps achieve consistent surface quality and reduces the likelihood of built-up edge during turning operations.

Is the insert compatible with standard WNMG toolholders?
Yes, the insert follows standard WNMG dimensions and can be used with toolholders that accept WNMG060404 inserts, enabling easy integration into existing turning setups.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP20G grade increases wear resistance and toughness balance, resulting in longer tool life and more predictable performance when machining steel.
