WNMG100616-RP5 WPP10G turning insert — Trigon 80°, Tiger·tec Gold, for steel — Walter Tools

The WNMG100616-RP5 WPP10G is a trigon 80° turning insert designed for steel turning, combining a coated carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family with an RP5 chipbreaker to ensure stable chip control in ISO P applications.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised for steel machining (ISO P)
• RP5 chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• Trigon 80° geometry with 1.6 mm corner radius

Improved process reliability through advanced coating technology

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G grade results in a noticeably higher resistance to abrasive wear and thermal loading compared with uncoated grades. This coating technology is engineered to reduce flank and crater wear under the thermal conditions typical of steel turning, which leads to longer tool life and fewer insert changes. As a consequence, cycle times become more predictable and machine uptime is increased. The textural and chemical design of the coating also supports consistent performance when cutting a broad range of steels, so maintenance intervals are easier to plan and productivity is improved.

Predictable chip control and surface finish with RP5

The RP5 chipbreaker is shaped to break and evacuate chips reliably in a wide range of cutting conditions commonly encountered with steel (ISO P). By controlling chip formation, the insert reduces the risk of chip entanglement and secondary damage to the workpiece or fixture. The chipbreaker also contributes to a stable cutting force, which supports repeatable surface quality and dimensional accuracy. For operations where consistent finishes and reduced rework are priorities, this chip control design helps to secure repeatable results and lowers the cost per part through fewer rejects and less manual intervention.

Robust geometry for secure clamping and extended performance

A Trigon 80° form with a 1.6 mm corner radius provides a reliable cutting edge that resists chipping during interrupted cuts and heavy feed conditions. The insert’s 0° negative clearance contributes to a strong cutting edge and favourable edge stability, which is particularly beneficial when machining tougher steels or when heavier depths of cut are required. The triangular shape allows three indexable cutting edges per insert, improving cost-efficiency per edge and enabling quick index changes for minimal downtime. Together, geometry and material grade provide a balance between edge strength and cutting efficiency that suits general-purpose and demanding turning tasks.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG100616-RP5 WPP10G insert from Walter Tools is specified for steel machining (ISO P) and is optimised for the typical thermal and chip formation behaviour of steels.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit production?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WPP10G grade reduces wear and improves thermal resistance, which leads to longer tool life and fewer insert changes in steel turning operations.

Is the RP5 chipbreaker suitable for high-feed applications?
Yes, the RP5 chipbreaker is designed to promote controlled chip breakage and evacuation across a range of feeds and depths of cut, supporting consistent surface quality in steel turning.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The trigon shape offers three indexable cutting edges per insert; the robust geometry with a 1.6 mm corner radius provides edge stability during heavier cuts.

Can this insert be used for stainless steel or other alloys?
The WNMG100616-RP5 WPP10G is specified for steel (ISO P); suitability for stainless or other alloy classes is not indicated and should be verified with an application test or consultation.
