• Designed for stainless steel machining
• Walter Tools quality with consistent edge stability

Longer tool life thanks to advanced coating technology

The Tiger·tec Gold system in combination with the WMP32G grade provides a balanced wear resistance and toughness profile suitable for turning operations on stainless steel. The multilayer coating reduces flank wear and helps to prevent premature edge failure, which translates into fewer insert changes and lower process interruptions. For production environments where tool-change downtime directly affects throughput, this coating-grade pairing supports longer tool life and more predictable maintenance intervals.

Controlled chip formation for safer, uninterrupted turning

The integrated IR16UN-3 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips under medium to robust cutting conditions. By promoting consistent chip geometry, the insert reduces the risk of built-up edge and improves evacuation, which in turn lowers the likelihood of surface damage or machine stoppages. In practical terms, this means a more reliable cycle time and reduced operator intervention during long turning runs.

High process reliability when machining stainless steels (ISO group M)

Specified for material group M, this insert addresses the typical challenges of stainless steel—tendency to work-harden, poor thermal conductivity and high ductility. The WMP32G coated carbide grade is tuned to maintain a sharp, stable cutting edge even as temperatures rise locally, supporting consistent material removal and better surface finish. For small to mid-sized batch production where repeatability and surface integrity matter, the insert helps achieve predictable results with fewer rejects.

Productivity and predictable performance in everyday use

With its focus on robust edge stability and optimised chip control, the insert supports higher average cutting parameters without sacrificing reliability. The result is clearer planning of production rates and reduced variance between shifts.
