TCMT110204-FM4 WMP20G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold, for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

A TCMT110204-FM4 WMP20G indexable insert designed for demanding turning and boring operations in stainless steels, offering controlled chip formation and extended tool life.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide for durability
• Optimised FM4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 7° relief angle for reduced cutting forces
• Triangular 60° form for flexible clamping options

High process reliability for stainless steel turning

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP20G grade provides enhanced wear resistance and consistent edge stability in the machining of stainless steel (ISO group M). The coated cemented carbide substrate supports safe chip formation under medium to robust cutting conditions, which reduces the frequency of edge changes and improves overall process stability. This performance-oriented pairing is suitable for shops that require predictable machining behaviour and lower downtime.

Geometry tuned for stable cuts and surface quality

The insert’s 7° relief angle together with a 0.4 mm corner radius and its triangular 60° shape results in a robust cutting edge that resists built-up edge formation and vibration. The FM4 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips when turning tough, work-hardening stainless steels, which helps maintain coolant flow and surface finish. These geometric choices translate into fewer interruptions, improved reproducibility and a reliable finish on each workpiece.

Productivity and operational benefits in everyday machining

As an indexable turning insert from Walter Tools’ Tiger·tec Gold family, this grade focuses on extended tool life and consistent performance, reducing tool-change frequency and supporting higher batch throughput. The insert is particularly suitable where secure chip control and edge integrity are priorities, enabling manufacturers to maintain productivity without sacrificing component quality. For technical queries or to confirm suitability for specific stainless-steel alloys, the supplier can provide machining recommendations and cutting data.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel machining?
Yes. The TCMT110204-FM4 WMP20G insert is formulated for machining stainless steels (ISO group M) and offers coating and geometry to support secure chip formation and stable cutting.

What advantages does the FM4 chipbreaker provide?
The FM4 chipbreaker on this Walter Tools insert promotes short, controllable chips and reduces the risk of entanglement, improving machining safety and surface quality in demanding stainless-steel operations.

Can the insert be used for finishing and semi-finishing operations?
The geometry and 0.4 mm corner radius make the insert appropriate for operations where a balance between cutting strength and surface finish is required; cutting data should be adapted to the specific alloy and component tolerance.
