SNMG190616-RM5 WMP20G — turning insert for stainless steels, Tiger·tec Gold series (Walter Tools)

SNMG190616-RM5 WMP20G is an indexable turning insert designed for reliable machining of stainless steels under moderate to robust cutting conditions

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for wear resistance
• Designed for stainless steels (ISO M)
• Negative 0° rake for secure cutting
• 1.6 mm corner radius for robustness

Consistent cutting performance for stainless steels

The combination of a coated carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Gold series and a chipbreaker engineered for ISO M materials provides stable chip formation and extended edge life when machining stainless steels. The insert’s coating reduces adhesive wear and helps manage heat at the cutting zone, which in turn reduces built-up edge and improves surface finish on parts where material toughness and heat generation are challenges. This results in fewer interruptions and a more predictable production rhythm.

Edge security and dimensional stability for uninterrupted runs

A negative 0° rake angle and a 1.6 mm corner radius deliver mechanical strength at the cutting edge and resistance to chipping during interrupted cuts or heavy engagement. The RM5 chipbreaker is balanced for continuous chips and controlled evacuation in common stainless-steel turning tasks, supporting consistent tolerances and repeatability. Using this indexable insert with the correct toolholder and parameters reduces the risk of unexpected tool failure and maintains part quality across longer tool life cycles.

Easy integration, predictable tool life and process benefits

Supplied as a square 90° plate in the SNMG format, the insert suits many common holders and can be applied across a variety of turning setups. The coated hardmetal grade WMP20G is tuned for medium to aggressive conditions in stainless steels, easing parameter selection and helping to achieve efficient metal removal rates without sacrificing surface integrity. For production environments seeking to improve uptime and reduce insert changes, the combination of geometry and coating offers clear economic and operational advantages.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining austenitic stainless steels?
Yes. The SNMG190616-RM5 WMP20G insert is designed for ISO M applications and performs well on austenitic and other stainless-steel grades where stable chip formation is required.

What is the purpose of the RM5 chipbreaker?
The RM5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation when turning stainless steels, improving surface finish and reducing the likelihood of built-up edge.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold series benefit tool life?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WMP20G grade reduces adhesive wear and improves thermal resistance, which extends edge life and supports consistent cutting performance.

Can the SNMG190616-RM5 be used in standard SNMG toolholders?
Yes. The insert follows the SNMG format and fits compatible toolholders designed for SNMG 19-sized square inserts with 90° geometry.

What cutting parameter guidance is recommended for this insert?
Recommended parameters depend on material subtype and machine rigidity. For application-specific cutting speeds and feeds, consult the machining data provided with the SNMG190616-RM5 WMP20G or contact Metav Werkzeuge for tailored advice.
