DCGT070204-FM2 DCGT070204-FM2 WMP20G — Turning insert for rostfreier Stahl by Walter Tools

The DCGT070204-FM2 WMP20G is a rhombic 55° turning insert designed for stable chip control and consistent edge life in medium to robust stainless-steel turning applications.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for stable cutting edges
• Optimised FM2 chipbreaker for stainless steel chips
• Rhombic 55° insert with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance angle for secure engagement

Improved process security and predictable tool life

The Tiger·tec Gold grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and thermal stability that reduces unexpected tool wear and supports longer tool life in rostfreier Stahl. Built as a coated carbide grade, the cutting material resists adhesion and edge breakdown under the typical temperatures of stainless-steel turning. The combination of coating technology and substrate hardness results in fewer interruptions for tool changes and steadier production output, which makes the insert well suited for repetitive or batch turning operations where process reliability is critical.

Effective chip control and surface consistency

The integrated FM2 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips with stainless-steel alloys, lowering the risk of built-up edge and improving surface finish. Because the geometry supports consistent chip formation, the insert helps maintain dimensional stability across a run. Operators benefit from reduced secondary operations and more uniform part quality, while production planners gain better predictability for cycle times and downstream processes.

Geometry tuned for secure engagement and multi-purpose turning

The rhombic 55° form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle combines entry stability with the ability to perform a range of turning tasks, from finishing to light roughing. The geometry minimises vibration at the cutting edge and provides a reliable cutting line, which is especially useful when machining tough, work-hardened rostfreier Stahl. Fewer vibrations mean improved tool performance and a reduced likelihood of surface irregularities on the finished component.
