TS16-IR-AG60 WMP22G – indexable turning insert by Walter Tools (Tiger·tec Gold, IR-AG60 chipbreaker)

TS16-IR-AG60 WMP22G is an indexable turning insert designed for stable, productive machining of stainless steels under medium to robust cutting conditions

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Optimised IR-AG60 chipbreaker
• Engineered for stainless steel machining

Increase throughput with a coating built for endurance

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold technology and the WMP22G grade delivers a coated carbide solution that focuses on sustained performance when machining stainless steel. The advanced coating system reduces flank wear and supports a stable cutting edge, which in practice leads to fewer insert changes and less downtime. For production environments where predictability matters, this turning insert provides measurable improvements in tool life and process reliability while maintaining surface quality on challenging, heat-generating alloys.

Safer, cleaner turning thanks to optimised chip control

The IR-AG60 chipbreaker is engineered to produce well-formed chips during turning operations, reducing the risk of entanglement and built-up edge formation. Controlled chip flow improves operator safety and lessens the burden on downstream chip handling systems. The insert geometry encourages shorter, segmenting chips in many stainless steel turning scenarios, aiding coolant access and promoting a consistent surface finish. These effects translate into fewer interruptions and a smoother overall machining cycle.

Predictable performance for workshop integration and process planning

As an indexable turning insert, this product integrates into standard turning toolholders and supports a repeatable set-up routine for batch production. The coated carbide grade is intended for medium to robust cutting conditions and offers a balance between edge stability and wear resistance, which helps to maintain tolerances over longer tool life. For engineering teams seeking reliable, auditable results, the insert reduces variability and supports continuous production goals while aligning with modern shop-floor process control measures.
