WNMG100608‑MP5 WPP20G indexable turning insert — Tiger‑tec Gold, Trigon 80°, for steel (Walter Tools)

The WNMG100608‑MP5 WPP20G is a negative‑rake, Trigon 80° indexable insert designed for heavy‑duty and finish turning of steel under industrial conditions

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated for long tool life
• Trigon 80° geometry for robust turning
• MP5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Optimised for steel machining (ISO P)

Boosted productivity through superior wear resistance

The combination of the WPP20G coated carbide grade and the Tiger‑tec Gold technology delivers noticeably longer tool life and predictable performance. The coating is engineered to reduce flank and crater wear during continuous turning operations, which translates into fewer insert changes and lower process costs. By choosing a wear‑resistant grade, operators achieve stable machining windows and extended tool cycles, leading to higher throughput and less production downtime. This makes the insert especially suitable for batch production and medium‑ to high‑volume turning lines.

Stable chip control and consistent surface finish

The MP5 chipbreaker has been developed to generate short, controllable chips when machining steel, reducing the risk of entangling chips and enabling stable cutting at higher feeds. Together with the Trigon 80° form and the 0° negative rake, the geometry promotes a secure cutting edge and good surface integrity on workpieces. For engineers unfamiliar with chipbreakers: the breaker shapes the chip at the cutting edge to split and evacuate it reliably, improving safety and reducing rework. The result is a consistent finish and fewer secondary operations.

Broad applicability for steel workpieces (ISO P)

This insert is optimised for the ISO P material group, covering a wide range of unalloyed and alloyed steels encountered in general engineering. The grade balance (wear‑resistant yet sufficiently tough) allows it to cope with typical heat generation and chip formation associated with steel turning. When a stable, universal grade is required across different steel batches, the WPP20G option reduces the need for frequent grade swaps while maintaining productivity and component quality.

Simple integration and predictable mounting

The WNMG form is widely used and fits standard WNMG toolholders, enabling straightforward replacement and quick setup. The 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and achievable surface finish, suitable for a range of turning tasks from roughing to light finishing. The plate thickness and geometry ensure a secure clamp and repeatable positioning, which supports process stability and reduces setup variability across shifts. For production planners, this means fewer interruptions and more reproducible parts per shift.
