DNMG150608-RM5 WMP20G – turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, 0.8 mm corner radius (Walter Tools)

The DNMG150608-RM5 WMP20G is a rhombic 55° indexable insert designed for machining stainless steels under moderate to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for improved wear resistance
• Optimised RM5 chipbreaker for stainless steel machining
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning operations
• 0.8 mm corner radius for enhanced edge strength

Consistent performance for stainless steel turning

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP20G grade provides enhanced resistance to wear when machining stainless steels, where adhesion and high temperatures are common challenges. The coating technology supports a secure chip formation and a stable cutting edge, which reduces the risk of built-up edge and extends usable tool life. This results in fewer tool changes and improved process reliability in series production environments.

Robust edge geometry for demanding cuts

With a 0° (negative) rake and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert is optimised for strength and edge stability during more robust operations. The negative rake increases cutting edge durability under heavier feed rates, while the larger radius spreads cutting forces to reduce chipping. These design choices make the insert suitable for applications where maintaining a repeatable edge life is a priority, particularly in parts where tool deflection must be minimised.

Flexible 55° rhombic form for varied turning tasks

The rhombic 55° form offers a versatile approach angle that supports a broad range of turning tasks. This geometry enables reliable performance across a sequence of operations, from form turning to interrupted cuts, and provides multiple effective cutting edges per insert to maximise economy. As an indexable insert, this format simplifies inventory management and keeps set-up times low, contributing to overall production efficiency.

Process advantages and application guidance

The RM5 chipbreaker is configured to promote predictable chips when working with stainless steels, improving swarf control and reducing the likelihood of surface damage. The insert is supplied in the DNMG size family and is intended for secure clamping in standard turning toolholders; correct holder rigidity and appropriate cutting parameters will further enhance the service life of the WMP20G grade. For tailored cutting data and material-specific recommendations, Metav Werkzeuge can provide application support to match machining conditions precisely.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert designed for?
The DNMG150608-RM5 WMP20G is specified for stainless steels (material group M) and is formulated to manage the adhesion and heat challenges typical of these alloys.

What benefit does the RM5 chipbreaker provide?
The RM5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation in stainless steel machining, improving swarf handling and helping to protect the workpiece surface.

How does the 0° (negative) rake affect cutting?
A 0° (negative) rake enhances edge strength and resistance to chipping under heavier cuts; it favours stable performance but requires suitable clamping and power to the tool.

What operations suit the rhombic 55° geometry?
The rhombic 55° form is versatile for various turning tasks, offering multiple effective cutting edges and compatibility with standard DNMG toolholders for a wide range of turning applications.

How many cutting edges are available per insert and how is it indexed?
This DNMG-format indexable insert provides multiple cutting edges that can be rotated or flipped in a standard insert seat to maximise economy and reduce downtime between changes.
