TS16-IR-G60 WMP32G – Indexable turning insert with IR‑G60 chipbreaker by Walter Tools

The TS16-IR-G60 WMP32G is an indexable turning insert designed for demanding turning operations in stainless steel, combining a coated carbide substrate with a dedicated chipbreaker for secure chip control.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating technology
• WMP32G grade for stainless steel
• IR‑G60 chipbreaker for stable chips
• High edge stability under robust conditions

Consistent performance for machining stainless steel

The Tiger·tec Gold series delivers a coated carbide solution engineered for behaviour when cutting stainless steel. The WMP32G grade provides a balance between toughness and wear resistance that supports stable chip formation under elevated temperatures and adhesion-prone conditions. This stability reduces the risk of built-up edge and contributes to repeatable surface quality in serial production, which helps maintain production rhythm and reduces scrap rates.

Optimised chip control and process reliability

The integrated IR‑G60 chipbreaker is shaped to break and evacuate chips effectively during turning operations, lowering the chance of entanglement and tool damage. Combined with the coating’s thermal and tribological properties, the geometry promotes predictable chip flow and less frequent interruptions. As a result, machining cycles run more smoothly and cycle-time variance is minimised, making the insert suitable for both medium and robust cutting scenarios in stainless steel.

Edge life and economic productivity

The coated carbide construction and the Tiger·tec Gold technology deliver improved edge integrity under demanding cutting loads. This translates into longer intervals between indexing or tool changes and a more consistent tool life profile across batches. The economic effect is twofold: fewer tool changes reduce downtime, and more predictable wear behaviour simplifies tool management and inventory planning in the workshop.

Integration into standard turning toolholders

Designated as TS16 in its ISO-style designation, the insert fits toolholders and systems that accept this geometry and grading. The combination of a proven grade and a dedicated chipbreaker makes it straightforward to specify for stainless steel turning tasks where secure chip control and dependable edge behaviour are required. For applications that demand stable process performance and uniform results, this insert is a practical choice.
