DNMG150408-MU5 WMP20S — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver coating (Walter Tools)

DNMG150408-MU5 WMP20S is an indexable turning insert designed for medium to robust machining of rostfreier Stahl in industrial turning applications.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating technology
• WMP20S grade for rostfreier Stahl
• Rhombus 55° plate form for versatility
• 0.8 mm corner radius, MU5 chipbreaker

High-performance turning for rostfreier Stahl

The WMP20S grade paired with the Tiger·tec Silver coating is engineered to address the challenges of machining rostfreier Stahl, where toughness and heat generation are critical. The combination provides improved thermal resistance and consistent edge stability, which results in fewer unplanned tool changes and a steadier process flow. The insert’s construction supports secure chip formation under medium to robust cutting conditions, contributing to reproducible component quality and lower overall machining cost per part.

Stable chip control and predictable tool life

The MU5 chipbreaker is designed for controlled chip segmentation and evacuation when cutting stainless alloys, ensuring that chips are manageable in automated and manual turning operations. With this chip control, coolant interaction and cutting forces are more predictable, which supports longer tool life and reduces the need for secondary interventions. The result is higher machine uptime and improved process repeatability for batch and series production.

Versatile geometry for consistent surface finish

The Rhombus 55° plate form and the 0° negative rake (free angle) create a robust cutting edge that resists chipping during interrupted cuts and heavy engagement. The 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to deliver a consistent surface finish on turned components, making the insert suitable for a range of turning tasks from semi-finish to more demanding profiles. The insert’s geometry facilitates stable dimensional control and surface quality in rostfreier Stahl applications.

Process integration and productivity benefits

Designed for industrial turning environments, this indexable insert simplifies grade selection and setup through a clear designation and proven coating technology. The stable cutting behaviour enabled by the grade and chipbreaker reduces scrap and rework, so production cycles become more economical. Backed by Walter Tools expertise, the insert supports scalable manufacturing where reliable tool performance and predictable component quality are priorities.
