WNMG080412-MW5 WPP10G Trigon 80° turning insert – Tiger·tec Gold, for steel, Walter Tools

The WNMG080412-MW5 WPP10G is a Trigon 80° turning insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating, engineered for productive machining of steel components in industrial turning applications

• Tiger·tec Gold for extended wear resistance
• Trigon 80° geometry for strong cutting edge
• 1.2 mm corner radius for stable cutting
• MW5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

Increase productivity on steel components

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness that is specifically tuned for machining steel. The insert’s coated carbide substrate tolerates the thermal and mechanical loads typical in turning operations and helps to extend tool life, reducing interruptive tool changes. The 0° (negative) relief improves edge strength under heavy loads, while the 1.2 mm corner radius supports stable cutting forces and improves process security. These characteristics translate into fewer interruptions, more consistent cycle times and better utilisation of machining capacity.

Reliable chip control and surface consistency

The MW5 chipbreaker is designed to shape chips effectively during the cutting of unalloyed and alloyed steels, promoting predictable evacuation and reducing the risk of re-cutting. The Trigon 80° form gives a mechanically robust cutting edge that withstands intermittent cuts and interrupted machining. With a nominal thickness and proven geometry, the insert supports both medium and heavy cuts with improved surface repeatability. Clear chip formation and secure edge behaviour contribute to lower scrap rates and a more efficient post-process workflow.

Simple selection and robust industrial integration

Marked with the ISO-style designation and tolerance class M, the insert is easy to specify when matching tooling systems across workshops and production lines. The standard WNMG form and size enable straightforward replacement in compatible tool holders, shortening set-up times and simplifying inventory management. The grade’s focus on steel (P) applications and the coated carbide construction make it suitable for a wide range of turning tasks, from semi-finish to roughing, delivering consistent results across batch and single-piece production environments. The product supports predictable machining and helps to maintain throughput in demanding schedules.
