WNMG080412-FW5 WPP20G – Trigon 80° turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

WNMG080412-FW5 WPP20G is a Trigon-shaped indexable insert optimised for turning steel components with a Tiger·tec Gold coating and an FW5 chipbreaker.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WPP20G
• Trigon 80° geometry for positive cutting
• FW5 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Corner radius 1.2 mm for stable cutting edge

Faster, more predictable turning for steel components

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G grade delivers a balance between wear resistance and toughness that is tailored to machining steel according to ISO recommendations. The Trigon 80° geometry provides a favourable cutting angle for general turning, while the corner radius 1.2 mm improves the load distribution on the cutting edge, reducing micro-chipping and enhancing tool life. This results in fewer insert changes and more predictable cycle times on production shafts, journals and turned bores.

Reliable chip control and surface quality under varied conditions

The FW5 chipbreaker is designed to form short, manageable chips across a broad speed and feed range, which supports uninterrupted machining and safer chip handling. As a coated carbide insert, the cutting edge resists thermal and abrasive wear, helping to maintain surface finish and dimensional stability during longer passes. For workshops aiming to increase throughput, the insert’s consistent cutting behaviour reduces downtime and supports higher first-pass quality.

Versatility and process security for everyday turning tasks

This indexable insert suits universal turning operations in steel, from general finishing to moderate roughing, thanks to the balanced properties of the WPP20G grade. The 0° (negative) relief provides a robust edge for interrupted cuts or unstable setups, while the Trigon form offers multiple cutting corners per insert for economic use. Backed by Walter Tools’ production standards, this grade supports stable chip formation and steady performance across batches, contributing to improved process security and repeatable results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for? The WNMG080412-FW5 WPP20G insert is designed primarily for machining steel (ISO group P) and performs across unalloyed and alloyed steel grades.

How does the FW5 chipbreaker affect machining? The FW5 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips and supports consistent surface finish and uninterrupted production when using the Tiger·tec Gold WPP20G grade.

What are the main geometry advantages of this Trigon insert? The Trigon 80° form offers a positive cutting geometry with multiple cutting edges per insert, while the 1.2 mm corner radius improves edge stability for longer tool life.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts? Yes; the 0° (negative) relief and the robust coating make the insert resilient in interrupted cutting conditions and less prone to edge damage.
