CNMG160616-RM5 WMP30G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold, for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

The CNMG160616-RM5 WMP30G is a negative‑rake, rhombic 80° turning insert designed for machining stainless steel under medium to robust conditions, featuring the Tiger·tec Gold coating technology.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended life
• Optimised for stainless steel (ISO M)
• RM5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 1.6 mm corner radius with rhombic 80° geometry

Longer tool life and material-adapted grade for stainless steel

The insert’s main advantage is its coated‑carbide Tiger·tec Gold grade, WMP30G, which is formulated for the challenges of machining stainless steel. Coated grades of this class combine a wear‑resistant substrate with a multi‑layer surface treatment to reduce adhesion and thermal softening at the cutting edge. The result is a more consistent edge condition when machining tough, heat‑prone materials, leading to fewer interruptions for edge dressing and longer effective tool life. This makes the insert a cost‑efficient choice where process stability and repeatable component quality are required.

Predictable chip control and cutting stability in demanding operations

The integrated RM5 chipbreaker is optimised to promote compact, manageable chips during turning operations, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface finish. Combined with the 1.6 mm corner radius, the insert provides increased edge strength for interrupted cuts or heavier depths of cut, while the 0° (negative) free angle supports a robust cutting geometry that resists built‑up edge formation. These features translate into fewer stoppages for chip clearing and a lower likelihood of edge chipping, which helps maintain cycle times and part consistency in production environments.

Practical benefits for workshop integration and process reliability

The rhombic 80° geometry and the CNMG format support a wide range of turning setups and toolholder systems, enabling quick indexation and straightforward inventory management. As a coated carbide insert in the Tiger·tec Gold family, it is suited for medium to heavy cutting regimes in ISO group M applications; users can therefore expect balanced performance between wear resistance and toughness. For parts requiring reproducible surface quality and dimensional control, this insert provides a reliable compromise between productivity and tool life, backed by Walter Tools’ quality standards.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The CNMG160616-RM5 WMP30G insert is designed primarily for stainless steel (ISO M), offering stable chip formation and resistance to built‑up edge in those materials.

How does the RM5 chipbreaker benefit machining?
The RM5 chipbreaker on the CNMG160616‑RM5 WMP30G produces compact chips and improves surface finish while reducing the need for manual chip management during turning operations.

Can the insert withstand interrupted cuts?
Yes; the 1.6 mm corner radius and the negative‑rake geometry provide increased edge strength, making the insert suitable for interrupted cuts and heavier engagement in many turning applications.

Which series and coating technology does this grade use?
This insert belongs to the Tiger·tec Gold series and uses the coated‑carbide WMP30G grade, optimised for process reliability in stainless steel machining.
