TS16-IL28UN WMP32G indexable turning insert — Walter Tools (Tiger·tec Gold, IL28UN chipbreaker)

The TS16-IL28UN WMP32G is an indexable turning insert designed for productive machining of stainless steel under medium to robust cutting conditions, combining a coated carbide grade with a specialised chipbreaker for secure material removal.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WMP32G coated carbide for stainless steel machining
• IL28UN chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• Walter Tools quality and consistent edge stability

Enhanced reliability for stainless steel machining

The insert delivers reliable performance when tackling stainless steel, a material group known for toughness and heat sensitivity. The combination of the WMP32G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating is engineered to support stable cutting under elevated temperatures and to reduce the tendency for built-up edge. The result is consistent edge stability and fewer unplanned tool changes, which translates into a measurable improvement in process uptime and shop-floor predictability.

Stable chip control that reduces interruption

Equipped with the IL28UN chipbreaker, the insert promotes controlled chip formation even in challenging turning operations. Clear chip control reduces the risk of snarled or long chips that can harm surface finish or interrupt production, offering a tangible benefit in cycle reliability. For production-focused environments, this means fewer stoppages and improved net machining time without compromising component quality.

Coating and grade engineered for longer service life

The coated carbide construction of the grade provides wear resistance and edge protection in demanding turning tasks. The Tiger·tec Gold technology combines coating architecture and substrate selection to improve resistance to flank and crater wear. This delivers prolonged tool life and keeps insert performance more constant over multiple indexings, lowering unit cost per part and supporting higher productivity in repetitive turning operations.

Practical gains for workshop productivity

By pairing a robust chipbreaker with a coated carbide grade, the insert supports higher process security and repeatability. Shops machining stainless steel will benefit from reduced rework and steadier surface quality, while maintenance intervals are extended thanks to the coating’s protective properties. The design suits both single-shift production and more intensive duty cycles, helping to streamline tooling logistics and simplify insert selection across a range of stainless steel components.
