CNMG160608-MM5 WMP20S turning insert – Tiger·tec Silver, optimised for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

CNMG160608-MM5 WMP20S is a rhombic 80° turning insert designed for reliable performance in stainless steel machining and medium to robust cutting conditions

• Tiger·tec Silver coated WMP20S grade
• Optimised for stainless steel machining
• Rhombic 80° shape with 0.8 mm radius
• MM5 chipbreaker for stable chip control

Consistent performance on stainless steel with reduced built-up edge

The Tiger·tec Silver coating in combination with the WMP20S carbide composition provides a balanced wear resistance and toughness that is particularly suited to stainless steel. Coated carbide grades reduce adhesion and heat-related damage that commonly cause built-up edge and premature flank wear. This turning insert therefore supports longer operating intervals and less frequent tool changes, which translates into higher machine uptime and more predictable process windows. The result is consistent part quality and a lower cost per component in batch and continuous turning operations.

Precision geometry for secure chip formation and surface finish

The rhombic 80° insert geometry with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 0° (negative) relief angle offers a controlled cutting edge for a variety of turning tasks. The MM5 chipbreaker is designed to promote short, manageable chips under the thermal and mechanical challenges of stainless steel, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of surface damage. This geometry supports stable cutting forces and contributes to reproducible surface roughness values, enabling tighter process control and fewer rejects in serial production.

Predictable economy and straightforward tool management

Belonging to the Tiger·tec Silver series, this insert integrates into standard Walter Tools toolholders and grade families, simplifying inventory and tool selection. The cartridge-style designation and ISO-compatible form make tool changes fast and error-free, supporting lean workshop workflows. For operations requiring repeatable performance in medium to robust conditions, the combination of coating, chipformer and geometry results in measurable reductions in downtime and consistent productivity gains. Metav Werkzeuge can provide application data and run recommendations for seamless integration into existing turning processes.
