WNMG100616-RP7 WPP20G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold for steel (Walter Tools)

WNMG100616-RP7 WPP20G is an 80° trigon indexable turning insert designed for robust and consistent turning of steels

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WPP20G for steel
• Trigon 80° geometry with 1.6 mm corner radius
• 0° negative rake for stable cutting
• RP7 chipbreaker for reliable chip control

Enhanced process reliability for steel machining

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP20G substrate delivers high resistance to abrasive wear while maintaining toughness where thermal and mechanical loads are highest. This grade is tailored for machining steel in the ISO P group, including unalloyed and alloyed steels, and is optimised to cope with the heat and chip formation typical of steel turning. The result is a more predictable tool life and fewer interruptions to production, which supports cost-efficient machining sequences without compromising component quality.

Geometry that stabilises cutting and extends edge life

The Trigon 80° form and 1.6 mm corner radius provide a good balance between strength and accessibility for shoulder and general turning operations. The 0° negative clearance configuration increases cutting-edge support under higher radial loads, reducing vibration and edge chipping during interrupted cuts. This geometry permits more aggressive engagement where stability is required, translating to improved productivity on medium-duty turning tasks while protecting the cutting edge.

Controlled chips and consistent surface finish

The RP7 chipbreaker has been developed to produce predictable chip shapes under typical steel cutting conditions, aiding evacuation and preventing entanglement. Effective chip control reduces secondary machining time and minimises the risk of surface damage, helping to achieve repeatable surface quality. Clear understanding of the chipbreaker behaviour enables process engineers to select appropriate feeds and depths of cut for either stable roughing or controlled finishing operations.

Practical application notes and procurement guidance

This insert is intended primarily for machining operations in the ISO P material class; the grade covers a range from wear-resistant to universally applicable and tougher cutting tasks. For best results, match the insert geometry to a suitably rigid toolholder and ensure correct clamping to maintain the intended cutting angle and edge support. The indexable format simplifies tool changes and inventory management. Availability and technical guidance are provided via Metav Werkzeuge for straightforward integration into existing tool families.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG100616-RP7 WPP20G indexable turning insert is specified for machining steel and conforms to ISO P material applications, covering unalloyed and alloyed steels.

What advantage does the Tiger·tec Gold technology provide?
Tiger·tec Gold on the WNMG100616-RP7 WPP20G increases wear resistance while preserving toughness, resulting in longer tool life and consistent performance on steel turning tasks.

How does the RP7 chipbreaker affect machining?
The RP7 chipbreaker on this Walter Tools insert produces controlled chip forms under typical steel cutting conditions, aiding evacuation and reducing risk of surface damage.

When is the Trigon 80° geometry most appropriate?
The Trigon 80° form is well suited for general turning and shoulder operations where a balance of cutting-edge strength and accessibility is required.

Does the 0° negative clearance change holder selection?
A rigid, appropriately sized toolholder is recommended to exploit the 0° negative clearance of the insert; correct clamping ensures edge support and stability during heavier cuts.
