Improved productivity through coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating with the WMP32G grade delivers measurable benefits for turning applications in stainless steel. The coated carbide construction reduces flank and crater wear under thermally demanding cuts, which leads to more consistent tool life and less unplanned tool changeovers. For production environments where uptime matters, this results in a more predictable machining process and better overall equipment effectiveness.

Stable chip formation and edge security

The IR08ACME chipbreaker is engineered to secure chip control during continuous and varying cut depths, promoting a steady chip flow and reducing risks of built-up edge. Stable chips lower the likelihood of surface damage and tool edge degradation, which means fewer reworks and improved surface finish consistency. Clear chip control also supports safer operations and simplified post-process handling on transfer lines.

Integration into productive turning processes

The TS16-IR08ACME geometry is compatible with standard toolholders for indexable turning systems and is aimed at shops that require repeatable, robust performance. The insert’s specification supports medium to robust machining scenarios in the ISO M material group (stainless steel), enabling shops to maintain high material removal rates while controlling tool wear. The coated grade reduces maintenance frequency and contributes to predictable cycle times.

Practical application and material scope

This insert is specifically developed for the ISO M category, meaning stainless steel applications that typically generate high heat and tend toward toughness. The WMP32G grade is tailored to these demands, balancing wear resistance with edge toughness to avoid premature failure.
