TS16-ER-A60 WMP32G indexable turning insert – Tiger‑tec Gold, for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

The TS16-ER-A60 WMP32G is a coated carbide indexable insert from the Tiger‑tec Gold series, optimised for reliable turning of stainless steel under moderate to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide
• ER‑A60 optimised chip control
• Suitable for stainless steel (M)
• Stable cutting edge and long tool life

Increase throughput when machining stainless steel with fewer interruptions

The combination of the WMP32G grade and the Tiger‑tec Gold coating targets the specific challenges of machining stainless steel: high ductility, heat generation and tendency to form built‑up edge. The coating technology supports a stable cutting edge, which reduces unscheduled tool changes and maintains consistent part finish. In practice, this translates into higher machine uptime and improved process reliability for batch and production turning operations. The material classification M denotes suitability for a broad range of rostfreie Stähle, ensuring the cutting material is matched to the workpiece behaviour.

Controlled chips and surface quality from optimised geometry

The ER‑A60 chipbreaker geometry is designed to promote secure chip formation in demanding stainless steel applications. By encouraging predictable chip breakage and evacuation, the insert reduces risk of chip entanglement and surface damage, contributing to a repeatable component finish. A steady chip flow also aids coolant and machine tool effectiveness, so operators see fewer interventions and more consistent cycle times. The result is reproducible surface integrity and fewer rejects in serial production.

Clear selection and straightforward integration into existing toolholders

As an indexable turning insert, this grade integrates directly into standard turning toolholders compatible with the TS16 designation. The code and ISO designation provide clarity when specifying inventory: TS16‑ER‑A60 WMP32G. For shops refining their tool sets, the insert’s focus on process security simplifies grade selection for stainless steel tasks and reduces the need for bespoke testing. When in doubt about fitment or cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge can advise on holder compatibility and recommended cutting parameters for the specific stainless steel grade in use.
