DCMT070202-FM4 WMP20G — Rhombic 55° indexable turning insert, 7° clearance (Walter Tools)

The DCMT070202-FM4 WMP20G is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert engineered for dependable machining of stainless steels under medium to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for wear resistance
• FM4 chipformer for stable chip control
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting geometry
• Designed for stainless steel machining

Improved productivity through advanced coating and chip control

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold series and the WMP20G grade delivers enhanced wear resistance and consistent cutting-edge performance. The applied coating reduces the tendency for built-up edge when working with stainless steel, so the machining process remains stable over longer tool life. The integrated FM4 chipformer supports predictable chip formation, lowering the risk of irregular chips that can interrupt spindle speeds or spoil surface quality. This leads to fewer tool changes and improved cycle-time efficiency for batch production.

Consistent geometry for accurate finishes and repeatability

A carefully chosen geometry—rhombic 55° form with a 0.2 mm corner radius and 7° clearance—balances cutting strength with fine edge control. The small corner radius helps maintain dimensional accuracy on profiles and shoulders, while the clearance angle reduces rubbing and heat buildup, supporting a better surface finish on turned components. The insert size and thickness provide rigidity in the holder, which translates to repeatable results in serial turning operations and reduced rework.

Process security and integration into standard tool systems

Manufactured by Walter Tools, this insert is designed for straightforward integration into conventional turning toolholders and tooling systems. The coated carbide substrate supports medium to robust machining strategies typical for ISO group M materials, promoting stable cutting edges and predictable wear patterns. Proven grade characteristics reduce process variation and help maintain high machine utilisation; where specific parameter optimisation is required, tooling data sheets and application guidance can be referenced to match feeds and speeds to material hardness and component geometry.
