• Tiger·tec Gold coating for improved wear resistance
• RM5 chipbreaker for secure chip formation
• 0° negative rake for heavy-duty turning

High-performance wear resistance for stainless steels

The Tiger·tec Gold technology provides a coated carbide surface that supports steady cutting under the high temperatures and adhesive tendencies of stainless steel. This results in consistent edge life and reduced flank wear, so machining cycles can be planned with greater confidence. The coated surface also helps to limit built-up edge and maintain dimensional stability over longer runs, translating into higher overall productivity and fewer unexpected tool changes.

Stable chip control and robust cutting geometry

The integrated RM5 chipbreaker promotes regular chip formation and evacuation, which is essential when machining materials prone to stringing or smearing. Coupled with the 0° negative rake, the geometry favours a stronger cutting edge and improved resistance to mechanical shock; this makes the insert particularly suited to interrupted cuts and tougher turning tasks. In practice, these features reduce the risk of premature edge failure and support predictable cycle times on shop-floor lathes.

Practical value at the machine: predictable results and easier process planning

Designed for the ISO M material group, this insert suits machining of stainless steel where control of heat and adhesion is critical. The Rhombus 80° shape and corner radius 1.6 mm deliver a compromise between form accuracy and edge strength, enabling stable finishes without sacrificing robustness. As a coated carbide solution in the Tiger·tec Gold series, the grade WMP20G is targeted at mid to heavy-duty applications where reproducible surface quality and tool longevity matter most.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steel?
Yes. The CNMG120416-RM5 WMP20G grade is formulated for ISO M applications and is optimised for stainless-steel machining.

What benefits does Tiger·tec Gold provide?
Tiger·tec Gold coating increases wear resistance and supports stable cutting temperatures, improving coated carbide performance and tool life during stainless-steel turning.

How does the RM5 chipbreaker affect production?
The RM5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the likelihood of chip-related interruptions and improving process reliability.

Why choose a 0° negative rake for this insert?
A 0° negative rake enhances edge strength and mechanical robustness, making the insert more resilient to impacts and suitable for heavier or interrupted cuts.

What geometry details are important for part quality?
The Rhombus 80° shape with a corner radius 1.6 mm balances finish quality and edge durability, aiding consistent dimensional results.
