DNMG150604-FM5 WMP20G indexable turning insert — for stainless steel, Rhombus 55° geometry | Walter Tools

The DNMG150604-FM5 WMP20G is an indexable turning insert designed for reliable finishing and medium-duty roughing in stainless steel, featuring a Rhombus 55° form and a 0° negative rake for stable cutting.

• Rhombus 55° geometry for versatile turning
• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WMP20G
• 0° negative rake for stable cutting
• FM5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control

Stable cutting in stainless steel for predictable results

The grade belongs to the Tiger·tec Gold series and is a coated carbide designed specifically for stainless steel; this ensures improved thermal resistance and a stable cutting edge under the typical heat and toughness of such materials. The insert’s geometry, combined with the FM5 chipbreaker, supports secure chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and prolonging tool life. This results in fewer interruptions and more consistent component quality on medium-duty operations.

Geometry and edge design that improve process reliability

With its Rhombus 55° outline and a corner radius of 0.4 mm, the insert balances edge strength and surface finish. The 0° negative rake creates a robust cutting edge that resists chipping when encountering varying material hardness or interrupted cuts. Such geometry is particularly effective where a controlled cutting action and repeatable performance are priorities, helping maintain cycle times and reducing rework in serial production environments.

Chip control and operational efficiency with FM5

The built-in FM5 chipbreaker is optimised for stainless steel, promoting short, controllable chips that are easy to evacuate even at moderate feeds. Improved chip control minimises machine downtime due to chip-related issues and reduces manual intervention. When combined with the grade’s coating technology, the result is a component machining process that is both more economical and less labour-intensive over the tool life.

Production benefits and application guidance

The insert is a practical choice for manufacturers seeking a balance between surface quality and productivity on stainless steel components. The WMP20G grade supports medium to robust cutting conditions, offering good wear resistance and consistent edge condition. For best results, pair the insert with appropriate toolholders and follow standard cutting parameter tables for coated carbide inserts in stainless steel; the insert’s stable edge and chip control characteristics help to widen the usable process window without compromising finish.
