WNMG080412-FP5 WPP20G — Indexable Turning Insert, Tiger‑tec Gold, for Steel | Walter Tools

The WNMG080412-FP5 WPP20G is a negative 80° trigon indexable insert in the Tiger‑tec Gold series, developed for productive turning of steel alloys with optimised chip control and extended tool life.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade
• Optimised for steel (ISO P) machining
• FP5 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• 80° trigon with 1.2 mm corner radius

High-performance grade for steel machining and consistent results

The Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness specifically tuned for steel (P) applications, which is reflected in the insert’s microstructure and coating technology. This results in stable chip formation and reduced flank wear in continuous and interrupted cuts. For production environments that demand repeatable component quality, the coated grade reduces process variation and supports longer tool life, thereby improving machine uptime and throughput.

Geometry and chip control that enhance productivity

The 80° trigon form and 0° negative clearance geometry provide mechanical strength and secure edge support, which is advantageous for medium to heavy turning tasks. The FP5 chipbreaker is engineered to form short, controllable chips on a broad range of steel grades, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of surface damage. The 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge robustness for stable cutting conditions and contributes to a reliable surface finish, while the insert thickness and 08 size maintain a compact profile for versatile toolholder compatibility.

Process security, handling and practical benefits on the shop floor

Supplied in the Tiger‑tec Gold series and identified by the WPP20G grade, this insert offers process security through predictable wear behaviour and consistent cutting edge performance. The insert’s negative design supports clamping stability, making it suitable for automated and manual setups alike. Specification-driven performance reduces rework and inspection time, helping production teams meet tolerance and surface finish targets with fewer tool changes and lower overall tooling costs.
