WNMG060404-FW5 WKP01G turning insert — Trigon 80°, Tiger·tec Gold

A WNMG060404-FW5 WKP01G turning insert engineered for medium to heavy turning of steel and cast iron, offering a durable coated-carbide grade for industrial machining.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WKP01G grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• Trigon 80° form for strong cutting edge
• 0.4 mm corner radius for reliable surface finish
• Chipbreaker FW5 for stable chip control

Increased uptime through a wear‑resistant grade

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with the WKP01G carbide grade delivers marked resistance to abrasive wear and thermal loading during steel and cast-iron turning. This results in fewer tool changes and more productive machine hours, which directly benefits batch throughput and cost per part. The plated surface reduces adhesive wear and helps maintain a consistent cutting edge, supporting steady performance in series production.

Robust geometry that stabilises cutting processes

The Trigon 80° shape and 0° negative rake provide a reinforced cutting edge that tolerates interrupted cuts and heavier cross-sections without premature chipping. A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with achievable surface quality, while the FW5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation for medium to heavy feeds. For users unfamiliar with insert geometry: the trigon profile offers a compact, rigid seat in the toolholder that enhances stability and repeatability in turning operations.

Seamless integration into industrial turning systems

Standard WNMG designation and tolerance class M ensure interchangeability across common toolholders, simplifying inventory and tool management. The insert thickness (04) and size (06) suit a wide range of clamping systems; pairing the insert with a suitable negative‑rake holder unlocks its full potential. Where process clarity is required, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical guidance to match cutting data and holder choice to the material and machining task, reducing setup time and improving first‑pass yields.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG060404-FW5 WKP01G is designed for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K), utilising the WKP01G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating to manage heat and abrasive wear.

How does the FW5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FW5 chipbreaker promotes short, controlled chips in medium to heavier turning operations, which improves chip evacuation and reduces the risk of built-up edge.

Why choose a Trigon 80° insert over other shapes?
A Trigon 80° form provides a strong cutting edge and compact seating, increasing rigidity and resistance to edge failure during interrupted cuts or heavy cuts.

Is the insert compatible with standard WNMG toolholders?
Yes — the WNMG designation and tolerance class M ensure compatibility with common negative‑rake toolholders suited to this insert form and size.

What surface finish can be expected with a 0.4 mm corner radius?
A 0.4 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and surface quality, delivering consistent finishes for general turning while maintaining durability.
