DCGT11T308-FM2 WMP20G — Turning insert with Tiger·tec Gold for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

The DCGT11T308-FM2 WMP20G is a rhombic 55° turning insert designed and optimised for machining stainless steel under medium to robust conditions, combining a secure chipbreaker and a robust corner geometry.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised for machining stainless steel (M)
• FM2 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Rhombic 55° geometry with 0.8 mm corner radius

Consistent performance on stainless steels for production stability

The Tiger·tec Gold-based WMP20G grade is formulated to cope with the demands of stainless steel machining: high workpiece ductility, tendency to build-up on the cutting edge and elevated temperatures. The coated cemented carbide substrate offers improved thermal resistance and controlled wear behaviour, which together contribute to long tool life and repeatable process windows. By selecting this grade, workshops gain a balance between edge stability and predictable wear, reducing unscheduled tool changes and supporting a steady production flow.

Secure chip control and protected cutting edge for reliable machining

The FM2 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips when cutting ductile materials. Combined with the 0.8 mm corner radius and the rhombic 55° insert form, this geometry increases the cutting edge strength and reduces the risk of edge chipping during interrupted cuts. The result is improved surface finishes and lower rework rates. For operators with varied workpiece geometries, the insert's form and chip control reduce machine downtime caused by poor chip evacuation and help maintain consistent cycle times.

Practical design details that support versatile turning operations

Key design aspects such as the insert thickness T3, size 11 designation and a 7° relief angle contribute to stable seating in standard toolholders and consistent cutting behaviour across batches. The tolerance class G underlines manufacturing precision, ensuring reliable indexing and repeatable positioning in multi-edge turning systems. Where process security and predictable results are priorities, this insert offers a straightforward upgrade path for turning operations that demand both robustness and refined chip management.
