WNMG080408-MS3 WPP20G — Trigon 80° turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The WNMG080408-MS3 WPP20G is a trigon turning insert engineered for efficient steel machining, offering a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade and an MS3 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade
• Optimised MS3 chipbreaker
• Trigon 80° geometry, 0.8 mm corner radius
• Suitable for steel machining (ISO P)

Maximised productivity for steel turning

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G grade is designed to reduce wear and extend cutting intervals when machining steel (ISO P). The coated hardmetal substrate balances hardness and toughness to tolerate the heat and abrasion typical of steel turning, which translates into fewer tool changes and more uninterrupted production time. Presented as a compact, trigon-shaped insert, the form factor supports stable cutting forces and reliable seating in common toolholders, contributing to consistent cycle times and improved process efficiency.

Precise chip control and surface quality

An MS3 chipbreaker is optimised to produce predictable chip shapes and to avoid long, stringy swarf that can disturb finishing passes. In practice, this results in better surface integrity and reduced secondary operations. The Trigon 80° geometry, together with a 0° (negative) rake angle, offers a robust cutting edge that resists chipping during interrupted cuts, while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to achieve a smooth surface finish. These design choices make the insert well suited for a range of turning tasks where chip evacuation and surface quality are priorities.

Consistent tool life and process security

The insert’s construction and tolerance grading (class M) support repeatable performance in production environments. A stable cutting edge and controlled microgeometry of the coated grade help maintain dimensional accuracy over extended runs, reducing scrap rates and downtime. The plate execution and thickness contribute to rigidity at the cutting zone, which, together with the coating technology, provides reliable wear behaviour across varying steel grades. For shops seeking predictable results and fewer process interruptions, this insert offers a practical balance of durability and versatility.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG080408-MS3 WPP20G is optimised for steel machining and classified for ISO P applications; the WPP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating address the wear and heat conditions typical of steel turning.

How does the MS3 chipbreaker affect performance?
The MS3 chipbreaker promotes compact, controllable chips and improves swarf evacuation, which supports better surface finish and reduces the risk of chip-related interruptions when using the Walter Tools turning insert.

What is the benefit of the Trigon 80° shape and 0.8 mm corner radius?
The Trigon 80° form provides a robust cutting edge and multiple cutting corners per insert; a 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for rougher passes while still allowing acceptable surface quality in finishing operations.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts or heavy-duty turning?
Yes. The 0° negative rake and the insert geometry are designed to offer edge security under interrupted cuts and higher loading, delivering stable cutting performance and improved process reliability.
