CNMG160608-RM5 WMP20G — indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, for stainless steels (Walter Tools)

The CNMG160608-RM5 WMP20G is an indexable turning insert developed for medium to robust machining of stainless steels, offering a negative relief and a chipbreaker optimised for secure chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for durable cutting
• Optimised for stainless steels (ISO M)
• Rhombic 80° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• RM5 chipbreaker for stable chip control

Dependable performance on stainless steels for fewer interruptions

The CNMG160608-RM5 WMP20G insert combines a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade with a geometry tailored to ISO group M materials, delivering stable cutting edges and reduced tendency for built-up edge during longer runs. The negative 0° relief and the RM5 chipbreaker support secure chip formation even under tougher conditions, which helps to maintain cycle times and reduces scrap. This design is particularly suited to suppliers and job shops that require consistent part quality in challenging stainless-steel turning operations.

Predictable chip control and extended tool life for productive shops

With a 0.8 mm corner radius and the Rhombic 80° form, the insert ensures reliable strength at the cutting edge while allowing flexible feed rates. The RM5 chipbreaker is configured to break and evacuate chips efficiently, lowering the risk of entanglement and improving surface finish. These characteristics translate into fewer tool changes and increased machine uptime, which supports economic machining and predictable batch production.

Practical geometry and specifications for versatile turning tasks

The combination of the Rhombic 80° geometry, a plate thickness of 06 and an inscribed circle size of 16 makes the insert adaptable to a wide range of turning setups and toolholders. The negative relief supports heavier engagement and roughing passes, while the coated grade reduces friction and enhances wear resistance. For process planning, the insert’s features allow straightforward parameter selection for common stainless steel alloys, helping engineers to achieve repeatable results with minimal trial-and-error.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The CNMG160608-RM5 WMP20G insert is designed primarily for stainless steels (ISO group M), offering secure chip formation and edge stability under medium to robust cutting conditions.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit machining?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the CNMG160608-RM5 WMP20G reduces friction and improves wear resistance, which contributes to longer tool life and more consistent surface finishes in stainless-steel turning.

What is the purpose of the RM5 chipbreaker?
The RM5 chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled chip segmentation and evacuation, decreasing the likelihood of chip re-cutting and supporting reliable production cycles.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
Yes; owing to the Rhombic 80° form and the 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert can be employed for a range of operations from roughing to semi-finishing, with parameter adjustments to suit the required surface quality.

Is the CNMG160608-RM5 compatible with standard toolholders?
The CNMG160608-RM5 WMP20G follows common indexable insert dimensions (inscribed circle 16, thickness 06, Rhombic 80°), making it compatible with standard toolholder systems specified for this insert style.
