TS16-ER-AG60-M5 WMP32G — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The TS16-ER-AG60-M5 WMP32G is an indexable turning insert engineered for turning stainless steel under medium to robust cutting conditions, offering consistent chip formation and extended edge life.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised chip control for stainless steel machining
• Coated carbide grade WMP32G for robust performance

Predictable performance in stainless steel turning

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP32G carbide grade is engineered to address the typical challenges of machining stainless steel, such as work hardening and a tendency to form built-up edges. The specialised surface treatment reduces friction at the cutting zone and supports a stable cutting edge, which results in steadier cutting forces and improved process stability. For production environments where repeatable component quality matters, this solution reduces the frequency of tool changes and contributes to consistent dimensional and surface-finish results.

Longer tool life and fewer interruptions to production

With the ER‑AG60‑M5 chipbreaker geometry, the insert promotes controlled chip formation and efficient evacuation in tough stainless applications. The result is a lower risk of chip entanglement and fewer unscheduled stops, translating into measurable productivity gains. Highlighting the rational benefits, improved edge retention and predictable wear behaviour support higher throughput and lower tooling costs per part. The coated carbide construction further enhances resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear, delivering reliable performance across batch and continuous turning operations.

Practical integration into workshop rigs and toolholders

Designated by the ISO-style name TS16‑ER‑AG60‑M5 WMP32G, the insert interfaces with common indexable holder systems for turning and is suitable for use in mixed-production shops and specialised stainless steel lines. The ER‑AG60‑M5 chipbreaker is optimised for medium to heavy cuts where robust chip control is required. Operators and process engineers benefit from a solution that balances cutting security with handling simplicity: inserts are indexable for fast renewal of the cutting edge, supporting shorter setup times and improved overall equipment effectiveness.
