WNMG080412-MU5 WPP05G – Trigon 80° coated carbide turning insert (Walter Tools)

The WNMG080412-MU5 WPP05G is a trigon-shaped turning insert optimised for ISO P (steel) machining, featuring a 1.2 mm corner radius and a MU5 chipbreaker for reliable chip formation in medium and heavy cuts.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide for extended tool life
• MU5 chipbreaker for stable chip control in steel
• Trigon 80° form with 1.2 mm corner radius
• 0° negative rake for robust roughing applications

Proven wear resistance for continuous steel turning productivity

The Tiger·tec Gold coating applied to this coated carbide grade provides a measurable improvement in wear resistance and cutting-edge stability, which translates into longer tool life under typical steel machining conditions. By combining a high-performance coating with a carefully balanced substrate, the insert reduces flank wear rates and maintains a predictable cutting edge over more cycles. This results in fewer tool changes and steadier process windows on production lathes, supporting higher uptime and consistent part quality.

Predictable chip behaviour and process security with the MU5 chipbreaker

The integrated MU5 chipbreaker is engineered to produce controllable chips when machining steel, improving machining safety and cycle reliability. Thanks to the Trigon 80° geometry, the insert provides favourable engagement angles for turning operations while the corner radius 1.2 mm absorbs cutting forces during heavier passes, reducing vibration and edge chipping. The negative rake 0° configuration further boosts robustness for interrupted cuts and roughing, enabling dependable performance in demanding production environments.

Application suitability and machining advantages for ISO P materials

Designed specifically for ISO P (steel) materials, this insert supports a broad range of steel grades, delivering consistent surface finish and repeatable tool life across varied operations. The tolerance class M indicates a balanced accuracy suited to general turning tasks where dependable edge quality and dimensional stability are required. Using this insert in systematic setups enhances productivity and ensures a predictable tool life, which helps to plan maintenance intervals and improve overall process economics.
