DNMG150608-RM5 WMP20S turning insert – Tiger·tec Silver, for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

The DNMG150608-RM5 WMP20S is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert designed for medium to heavy-duty turning of stainless steel, combining a robust cutting edge with a chipbreaker tuned for secure chip formation

• Tiger·tec Silver coated grade WMP20S
• Optimised for stainless steel machining
• Rhombic 55° geometry, 0.8 mm corner radius
• RM5 chipbreaker for stable chip control

Greater process reliability through advanced coating and grade selection

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WMP20S cemented carbide grade is engineered for the specific demands of machining stainless steel. Coating technology reduces built-up edge and improves heat resistance, which in turn stabilises the cutting edge under the high temperatures typical for these alloys. As a result, tool life is extended and intervention intervals are reduced, supporting predictable production cycles and lower overall machining costs.

Consistent chip control and surface quality with targeted geometry

The rhombic 55° form and the RM5 chipbreaker provide a balanced mix of axial and radial cutting forces, promoting controlled chip formation and evacuation. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge robustness, which minimises edge chipping during interrupted cuts and heavy engagement. This geometry combination helps to maintain a steady surface finish while allowing comfortable feed rates, translating technical features into tangible productivity gains on the shop floor.

Practical benefits for workshop integration and tool handling

The insert format DNMG150608-RM5 suits standard turning toolholders and simplifies tool management in mixed-production environments. The negative rake (0°) geometry supports stable cutting under variable conditions and reduces the tendency for chatter in heavier cuts. With a familiar insert designation and a widely used chipbreaker variant, setup times are kept short and operator familiarity accelerates ramp-up on new jobs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The DNMG150608-RM5 WMP20S is specifically formulated for machining stainless steel and performs well under medium to robust cutting conditions.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating help in practice?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WMP20S grade enhances heat resistance and reduces built-up edge, which improves cutting-edge life and process stability when machining stainless steel.

Is the RM5 chipbreaker suitable for continuous turning?
Yes, the RM5 chipbreaker is designed for stable chip control during continuous operations and helps maintain surface quality with consistent chip formation.

Can the insert be used in standard DNMG toolholders?
The DNMG150608-RM5 follows the common DNMG insert geometry and is compatible with standard toolholders designed for DNMG inserts.

What advantage does the 0.8 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and reduces the risk of chipping in interrupted cuts, supporting higher feed rates and longer tool life.
