DNMM150612-HU5 WMP20S turning insert – WMP20S grade, for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

DNMM150612-HU5 WMP20S is a precision turning insert designed for demanding stainless steel applications, offering the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and an HU5 chipbreaker for stable, repeatable performance

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• Optimised HU5 chipbreaker for stainless steel
• Rhombus 55° form with 1.2 mm corner radius
• Negative rake 0° for stable cutting edge

Longer tool life and reliable chip formation for stainless steel

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating with the WMP20S grade provides a balanced resistance to wear and thermal stress that is particularly beneficial for machining stainless steel. The advanced coating chemistry promotes stable chip formation, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and improving productivity in medium to robust cutting conditions. This results in fewer tool changes, less downtime and a more predictable process for series production.

Geometry engineered for consistent surface finish and productivity

The rhombus 55° insert geometry with a 1.2 mm corner radius and a 0° (negative) rake angle delivers a compromise between cutting strength and finish quality. The acute cutting angle is suited to finishing and semi‑finishing passes, while the defined corner radius helps maintain dimensional stability on external profiles. Combined with the HU5 chipbreaker, the geometry supports controlled chip evacuation and reduced vibration, translating into better surface integrity and longer tool life.

Process security and shopfloor practicality

Designed under the Walter Tools Tiger‑tec Silver series, this turning insert emphasises process security and repeatability in daily production. The HU5 chipbreaker is tuned for the characteristics of stainless alloys, helping to avoid stringy chips and ensuring safer, more efficient operation. Compatibility with common indexable toolholders and standard turning tool systems simplifies inventory and tool planning, making the insert a practical choice for engineering and manufacturing shops seeking reproducible results.
