TS16-IR28W WMP32G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold, for stainless steels (Walter Tools)

A TS16-IR28W WMP32G indexable turning insert engineered for secure chip formation and consistent cutting performance in the machining of stainless steels.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised IR28W chipbreaker for stable chips
• WMP32G grade for stainless steel machining
• Consistent edge stability in medium to robust cuts

Maximised performance on stainless steels through advanced coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating with the WMP32G carbide grade is designed to address the specific challenges of machining stainless steels: toughness, tendency to form built-up edge and elevated heat at the cutting zone. The coated hardmetal substrate stabilises the cutting edge under thermal load and reduces wear, while the grade supports reliable chip control in sustained operations. For shops seeking predictable tool life and fewer interruptions, this specification translates into reduced rework and steadier process windows.

Greater productivity thanks to a purpose-built chipbreaker and geometry

The IR28W chipbreaker is optimised for medium to robust turning operations where secure chip formation and evacuation are essential. By producing consistent chip shapes and preventing long, stringy swarf, the insert helps maintain machine uptime and improves surface finish reproducibility. The engineered interaction between chipbreaker and grade contributes to longer intervals between tool changes and supports higher parts-per-shift counts, making it a practical choice for production environments focused on throughput and process security.

Practical application: simplified tool choice and reliable results on the shop floor

Designed as an indexable turning solution, the TS16-IR28W family offers the economic benefit of replaceable cutting edges while delivering consistent cutting behaviour across serial production runs. The insert is suitable for conventional turning tasks on stainless steels, where stable edge life and predictable wear reduce scrap and inspection effort. For users evaluating tooling strategies, the combination of WMP32G and the IR28W breaker provides a clear, application-focused option that minimises the need for frequent trial setups.
