CNMG160616-RM5 WMP20G — Turning insert for stainless steel, Tiger‑tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The CNMG160616-RM5 WMP20G is a rhombic 80° turning insert engineered for stable chip control and long tool life when machining stainless steel under medium to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended life
• RM5 chipbreaker for secure chip formation
• Rhombic 80° geometry for versatile turning
• 1.6 mm corner radius for reproducible edge strength

Consistent process performance for stainless steel

The coated carbide grade WMP20G from the Tiger‑tec Gold family is designed to address the typical challenges of machining stainless steel, notably material toughness and heat generation. With its coated hardmetal structure and optimised surface treatment, the grade supports a stable cutting edge and reduced tendency to build up material on the flank. For production environments this means fewer unplanned tool changes and improved component repeatability, translating into higher throughput and lower overall machining cost.

Secure chip control and long edge life

The combination of the RM5 chipbreaker and the rhombic 80° geometry offers predictable chip formation in turning operations. The insert’s negative 0° clearance geometry helps absorb cutting forces in heavy cuts, while the 1.6 mm corner radius provides mechanical strength at the cutting edge. These characteristics result in reliable chip evacuation, reduced vibration and consistent surface finish — advantages that benefit workshop productivity and downstream processes such as grinding or assembly.

Practical integration and predictable results on the shop floor

This indexable insert is suitable for a wide range of turning tasks where stainless steel is involved, from semi-finishing to robust roughing passes. Its standard CNMG outline ensures compatibility with common toolholders, simplifying inventory and tool changeover. Technical teams can use the predictable wear behaviour of the insert to plan tool life cycles and establish cutting data windows, improving process stability and making production planning more reliable.
