TS16-ER-G60 WMP22G WMP22G Wendeplatten - Walter Tools

Efficient and reliable turning of stainless steel is achieved by combining the Tiger·tec Gold coating, the WMP22G coated-carbide grade and the ER‑G60 chipbreaker for controlled chips and extended tool life; order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask their consultants for grade and application advice.

TS16-ER-G60 WMP22G indexable turning insert – for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

A compact TS16-ER-G60 WMP22G indexable turning insert designed for medium to robust turning operations in stainless steel, offering stable chip control and long wear life.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• WMP22G coated carbide grade for stainless steel
• ER‑G60 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Consistent edge stability under medium to heavy cuts

Predictable performance for demanding stainless-steel turning

The Tiger·tec Gold coating together with the WMP22G grade offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness that is particularly suited to the challenges of machining stainless steel. The combination reduces the tendency for built-up edge and supports stable chip formation, which in turn preserves the cutting edge and improves process reliability. This results in fewer tool changes and more consistent production cycles when machining parts that demand repeatable surface quality.

Why the chipbreaker and substrate matter for process security

The ER‑G60 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips under medium to heavy cutting conditions, which lowers the risk of entanglement and improves swarf handling in automated and manual turning centres. Coupled with a coated carbide substrate, the geometry and coating work together to manage heat at the cutting zone and maintain edge stability during extended runs. For manufacturers aiming to reduce downtime, these features translate into steadier cycle times and fewer interruptions.

Real benefits on the shop floor and for production planning

In practice, the insert delivers measurable advantages: improved repeatability in surface finish and dimensional stability, and reduced tool wear variance across batches. The design supports versatile use in series production and job-shop environments where stainless-steel components are common. Selection of the correct grade and chipbreaker helps to achieve predictable tool life and cost-efficiency per component. For complex applications, material-specific planning with matched cutting data will further enhance productivity and part quality.
