WNMG060404-MP3 WPP20G — indexable turning insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating for steel | Walter Tools

WNMG060404-MP3 WPP20G is an indexable turning insert designed for general steel machining, offering robust performance for roughing and semi-finishing operations

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Designed for steel machining
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cuts
• MP3 chipbreaker for controlled chips

Consistent productivity for steel turning operations

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide and the WPP20G grade delivers a balanced performance: wear resistance for longer life and enough toughness to withstand the typical temperatures of steel machining. The MP3 chipbreaker is optimised for the predictable chip formation of steels (ISO group P), reducing interruptions and easing chip evacuation. Thanks to the insert’s negative relief design, the geometry supports stable cutting forces during heavier depths of cut, which helps to increase material removal rates while maintaining tool life.

Geometry and edge design for reliable machining results

The Trigon 80° form and a corner radius of 0.4 mm provide a secure cutting edge that reduces chatter and helps maintain dimensional stability on turned parts. The compact size (designation 06, thickness 04) makes the insert suitable for a wide range of standard toolholders and insert seats, while the tolerance class M ensures interchangeability and repeatable clamping accuracy. These geometric characteristics contribute to predictable surface finishes and repeatable process outcomes in production environments.

Process integration and economic benefits

As an indexable insert from Walter Tools, this item supports quick index changes and predictable tool life, lowering downtime and overall cost per component. The coated carbide composition is aimed specifically at steels, giving favourable results across unalloyed and alloyed grades commonly encountered in workshops and production lines. The insert’s stability and chip control reduce secondary operations and improve throughput — a practical benefit for machining centres and turning lathes seeking efficiency without sacrificing reliability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG060404-MP3 WPP20G insert is developed for machining steels (ISO P); the WPP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating balance wear resistance and toughness for these materials.

How does the MP3 chipbreaker affect performance?
The MP3 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation during steel turning, improving evacuation and reducing interruptions compared with inserts without dedicated chip control.

Can this insert be used in standard WNMG holders?
Yes, the insert follows the WNMG form and is compatible with standard toolholders designed for WNMG0604-style inserts, enabling quick indexing and repeatable seating.

What is the advantage of the Trigon 80° shape?
The Trigon 80° geometry offers a stable cutting edge and higher radial support, which reduces vibration and helps maintain dimensional accuracy on turned components.

Does the grade WPP20G suit finishing operations?
WPP20G is a universal, coated carbide grade optimised primarily for steel; it performs well in both roughing and semi-finishing depending on cutting data and machine rigidity.
