• Suitable for machining stainless steels under load

Improved productivity when machining stainless steels

The Tiger‑tec Gold grade and the WMP20G composition deliver a wear‑resistant, coated carbide substrate that stabilises the cutting edge during tough stainless steel tasks. This results in stable chip formation and lower risk of build‑up on the cutting edge, which directly reduces downtime for regrinding or rework. As a round RCMT‑form insert with a modest relief angle, the geometry supports consistent contact with the workpiece and predictable tool life under varying feeds and depths.

Precision geometry that simplifies chip control and surface quality

The combination of the FM4 chipbreaker and the RCMT shape produces controllable chip segmentation, improving process reliability and surface finish in finishing or semi‑finishing passes. The coated surface lowers friction and heat transfer at the cutting zone, which helps to maintain dimensional accuracy and repeatability. This geometrical and material pairing supports a lower incidence of edge build‑up and promotes a smoother machining cycle, particularly when turning tougher austenitic stainless grades.

Practical benefits for workshop efficiency and tool handling

The insert’s standard RCMT form and the uniform thickness allow straightforward seating in common toolholders, enabling rapid indexation and fast replacement in production environments. Thanks to the Tiger‑tec Gold coating, the insert sustains wear resistance over a longer period, translating into fewer tool changes and improved uptime. The design is optimised for reliable performance rather than speciality micro‑finishing, making it a pragmatic choice for general turning operations where robustness and repeatable results are priorities.
