VCGT110304-FM2 WMP20G turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold, rhombic 35° for rostfreien Stahl | Walter Tools

VCGT110304-FM2 WMP20G is a coated indexable insert engineered for turning operations on rostfreien Stahl in moderate to robust cutting conditions

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WMP20G
• Optimised for rostfreien Stahl (ISO group M)
• Rhombic 35° geometry, 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° relief angle for enhanced edge security

Reliable chip control and consistent productivity

The coated Tiger·tec Gold grade WMP20G combines a wear-resistant coating with a substrate tuned for the demands of rostfreien Stahl. This composition improves chip formation and mitigates build-up on the cutting edge, resulting in steadier cutting forces and fewer unplanned interruptions. For workshops aiming to raise throughput, the insert’s stability reduces the frequency of edge changes and supports a predictable process window. Technical advantages translate directly into higher machine utilisation and lower unit-cost variability.

Geometry designed for effective cutting and surface quality

The rhombic 35° platform, paired with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle, offers a balance between accessibility and edge strength. The 35° approach angle allows economical cutting forces and good surface finish in through-turning and profile passes, while the modest corner radius supports improved tool life without sacrificing accuracy. For operators less familiar with insert geometry, this configuration delivers reliable surface consistency and easier toolpath planning on common turning setups.

Practical benefits in workshop applications

Equipped with the FM2 chipbreaker, this indexable insert actively promotes predictable chip evacuation under varying feeds and speeds, simplifying coolant choices and reducing the risk of surface marking. The VCGT110304-FM2 WMP20G insert is particularly suited to applications where rostfreien Stahl tends to work-harden or produce long, stringy chips; its designed interaction between grade and chipbreaker supports safer, continuous cutting. When selecting cutting parameters, prioritise stable fixtures and moderate depths of cut to fully exploit the grade’s edge integrity for longer cycles.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?
The insert is designed for rostfreien Stahl (ISO group M); the WMP20G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating support secure chip formation in these alloys.

What are the key geometric features of the insert?
The unit has a rhombic 35° form, a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle, which together provide a compromise between cutting access and edge robustness for routine turning tasks.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its benefit?
The FM2 chipbreaker is integrated to promote predictable chip control under a range of feeds, assisting continuous cutting and reducing the risk of entangling chips on rostfreien Stahl with the VCGT110304-FM2 WMP20G insert.

Is the insert coated and what coating technology is used?
Yes, the insert uses the Tiger·tec Gold coating technology; this enhances wear resistance and helps maintain cutting-edge integrity during extended production runs with rostfreien Stahl.

For which applications is this insert recommended?
Recommended for turning operations on rostfreiem Stahl under moderate to robust conditions where process reliability and consistent surface quality are required, the insert suits both batch production and longer single-part runs.
