About Kyocera WB / WP / WC 80° Trigon Positive Inserts
The WB/WP/WC 80° trigon (three-sided) positive geometry with 7° positive rake provides 6 cutting edges per insert — combining the economy of multiple edges with the lower cutting forces of positive rake.
Key advantages of the WB/WP family:
- 6 cutting edges per insert — maximum economy of any positive geometry
- Strong cutting edge — 80° point + positive rake balance edge security and low forces
- Versatile — general steel, stainless, and cast iron work in one geometry
- Compatible with standard trigon holders — fits SWAPR/L, SWLPR/L series
The WB/WP family includes sub-designations:
- WBMX — 80° trigon positive w/ hole + molded chipbreaker + extended edge. General-purpose workhorse.
- WBGT — 80° trigon positive ground sharp edge for finishing work.
- WPMT — 80° trigon positive w/ hole + molded chipbreaker. Standard trigon positive for steel + stainless.
Kyocera Corporation (Kyoto, Japan) is one of the world's leading manufacturers of CNC cutting tools, with over 60 years of tooling expertise. The Kyocera PR series (CVD-coated steel), TN series (cermet), PV series (PVD-coated stainless), CA series (CVD stainless / cast iron), and KW series (uncoated aluminum) represent decades of grade development.

How to Choose the Right Kyocera WB/WP Insert
Selecting the correct WB/WP insert involves three decisions:
- Material → Grade: Steel → PR930. Stainless → CA5525. Steel finishing → TN60.
- Sub-designation → Operation: General turning → WPMT (molded chipbreaker). Finishing → WBGT (ground sharp).
- IC size → Tool holder: IC 9.525 mm → SWAPR/L 11. IC 12.7 mm → SWAPR/L 16.
Tip: For general steel work, start with WPMT inserts in PR930 grade. For stainless, use CA5525 grade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these genuine Kyocera original inserts?
Yes — all 17 products in this catalog are 100% genuine Kyocera originals manufactured by Kyocera Corporation in Kyoto, Japan. Each insert ships in original Kyocera factory packaging with full traceability.
What is the difference between WB/WP and other turning geometries?
WB/WP 80° trigon has 6 cutting edges per insert vs 3 (TC triangle), 4 (CC/DC rhombic), or 4 (SC square) for other positive geometries. The trigon shape provides the maximum edge economy while maintaining positive-rake lower cutting forces.
What does the IC size mean in this WB/WP family?
IC (inscribed circle) sizes in this catalog are 9.525 mm (standard) and 12.7 mm (heavy). Larger IC = thicker insert = higher cutting forces capability.
What tool holder do I need for WB/WP inserts?
WB/WP 80° trigon positive inserts fit standard SWAPR/L, SWLPR/L, SWAPR/L trigon holders tool holders. Browse our turning tool holder catalog for compatible options.
What grade should I choose for stainless steel?
For stainless steel work, Kyocera recommends CA5525 (CVD M-grade) or PV720 (PVD grade) — both provide superior wear resistance and edge security on 304/316 stainless. Choose CA5525 for heavier roughing; choose PV720 for finishing operations.
How does WB/WP compare to the negative-rake alternative?
Positive WB/WP inserts (7° rake) provide lower cutting forces than negative-rake CNMG, DNMG, etc., but with weaker edge strength. Use WB/WP for general turning with reduced cutting forces; use negative inserts for heavy roughing and interrupted cuts.
