WNMG060412-MW5 WPP20G – Trigon 80° indexable turning insert (Tiger·tec Gold) by Walter Tools

The WNMG060412-MW5 WPP20G is a negative-rake Trigon 80° indexable turning insert engineered for reliable steel machining, featuring a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade and an MW5 chipbreaker for controlled swarf formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Trigon 80° shape for stable negative cutting
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust edge strength
• Optimised MW5 chipbreaker for steel turning

Consistent edge life and precise performance for production runs

The coated carbide grade WPP20G in this insert delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness, designed specifically for steel applications (material group P). The Tiger·tec Gold technology provides a hard, thermally stable coating that reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer index changes per workpiece. With a 1.2 mm corner radius and the Trigon 80° geometry, the insert offers improved edge support for interrupted cuts and stable turning, reducing the risk of chipping while maintaining dimensional accuracy over extended cycles.

Predictable chip control and thermal behaviour for efficient machining

The MW5 chipbreaker is optimised for conventional steel turning, promoting short, segmented chips and reliable swarf evacuation under varying cutting conditions. The negative rake 0° configuration gives a robust cutting edge and improved resistance to mechanical impact, which benefits heavy or semi-finishing operations. Together, effective chip control and thermal stability enhance process reliability, allowing higher average material removal rates and consistent surface quality when machining unalloyed and alloyed steels.

Simple integration into turning workflows and measurable advantages

Designed for interchangeable use in standard WNMG toolholders, this Trigon insert supports repeatable indexability and easy stock management. The tolerance class M and the standardised WNMG geometry ensure compatibility across common tool systems, reducing set-up times. For production-focused shops, the insert’s combination of coating technology and chipbreaker results in fewer tool changes and lower overall tooling cost per part, supporting higher uptime and predictable throughput in serial machining.
