CNMG160608-MM5 WMP20G — Rhombic 80° indexable insert for stainless steel, Walter Tools

The CNMG160608-MM5 WMP20G is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert designed for stainless steel machining under medium to robust conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• MM5 chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• Rhombic 80° form with 0.8 mm nose radius
• Optimised for machining stainless steel

Consistent cutting performance for stainless steel applications

The combination of the WMP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating provides a balance between wear resistance and edge stability when machining stainless steel. The coating system reduces friction and thermal load at the cutting edge, which helps to avoid build-up and maintain dimensional accuracy over longer toolpaths. As a consequence, process reproducibility improves and changeover intervals can be extended without sacrificing surface quality.

Geometry that supports precise and robust turning

The rhombic 80° geometry and 0.8 mm nose radius ensure a stable cutting edge that is suitable for general-purpose turning as well as for applications requiring occasional heavier cuts. The insert’s negative 0° relief promotes secure seating in the pocket and reduces the risk of chipping under interrupted cuts. This geometry supports repeatable results on turned components and contributes to predictable tool life in batch and single-piece production alike.

Stable chip control and predictable tool life

The MM5 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips when cutting ductile, heat-resistant alloys common to stainless steel workpieces. Controlled chip formation reduces the likelihood of surface damage and minimises the need for secondary chip management measures. Together with the coated carbide substrate of the grade, this delivers a measurable improvement in cycle stability and a reduction in unscheduled stoppages due to chip-related issues.

Simplified integration into existing tool systems

The insert designation and dimensions align with widely used toolholder systems, making replacement and inventory management straightforward. The indexable format allows for multiple edge renewals per insert, lowering consumption per metre of cut and supporting lean tooling strategies. For situations requiring process optimisation or specific holder recommendations, the technical consultants at Metav Werkzeuge can provide targeted advice based on the application and machine setup.
