WNMG080412-FW5 WKP01G — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold for steel and cast iron — Walter Tools

The WNMG080412-FW5 WKP01G is an 80° trigon indexable turning insert engineered for robust finishing and medium-depth roughing in steel and cast iron, delivering reproducible results in production environments.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WKP01G
• Optimised FW5 chipbreaker
• Trigon 80° insert geometry
• Corner radius 1.2 mm for stable cutting

Predictable chip control for productive turning

The coated cutting grade of this insert ensures reliable chip formation and reduced vibration during longitudinal and profiling operations. The FW5 chipbreaker is designed to manage typical steel and cast-iron chips, reducing the risk of chip entanglement and improving process stability. As a result, machining cycles become more predictable, which supports higher throughput and consistent surface quality on finished components.

Extended edge life with advanced coating technology

The Tiger·tec Gold coating system provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability compared with conventional coatings, extending tool life under intermittent and continuous cutting conditions. The WKP01G grade, a coated cemented carbide, balances toughness and hardness to resist abrasive wear common when machining cast components, while maintaining edge integrity in alloyed and unalloyed steels.

Geometry engineered for versatility and rigidity

The Trigon 80° shape offers a rigid seating and versatile cutting angles for a range of turning tasks. The 0° (negative) rake geometry increases edge strength for heavier cuts, while the 1.2 mm corner radius supports stable cutting forces and improved finish in semi-finishing applications. This geometry is particularly useful where dimensional stability and repeatable tolerances are required.

Practical benefits for workshop and production use

Incorporating this insert into stable toolholders results in fewer interruptions for indexing and regrinding, contributing to smoother production flow. The insert size and thickness conform to common toolholder standards for easy integration, and the WKP01G grade is catalogued for machining both steel (P) and cast iron (K) according to ISO grouping, simplifying grade selection for mixed production batches.
