Consistent performance and longer production runs

The coated carbide grade WMP20G, developed under the Tiger·tec Gold technology, provides a stable cutting edge and extended tool life when machining stainless steel. The combination of coating and substrate minimises built-up edge and supports continuous production, which reduces unplanned tool changes and downtime. The rhombic 35° geometry paired with a small 0.2 mm corner radius allows for precise shoulder and profile turning, while the 7° clearance angle helps maintain a secure cutting geometry under varying feed conditions. These technical choices translate directly into fewer interruptions and more predictable throughput on the shop floor.

Reliable chip control and predictable surface quality

Integrated FM4 chipforming geometry ensures effective chip breakage and evacuation in demanding stainless steel operations. The chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips across a range of feeds and depths, improving process stability and machine cleanliness. For operators and process engineers, this means a reduced risk of chip entanglement, lower rework rates and more consistent surface finishes. Explained simply, the FM4 chipbreaker shapes the metal flow at the cutting edge so that each cut removes material cleanly, which supports repeatable component tolerances and less post-process handling.

Process guidance and shop-floor confidence

Selection of an insert like this VCMT110302-FM4 is a pragmatic step towards process security: the WMP20G grade is specified for stainless materials where toughness and heat generation demand a robust, coated solution. For shops seeking fast implementation, the insert’s form and chip control allow straightforward index changes and minimal set-up tuning. If further machining data are required, Metav Werkzeuge provides application support and material-specific cutting recommendations to integrate the insert effectively into turning cycles. Trust in predictable performance contributes to greater operational confidence and a measurable improvement in overall equipment efficiency.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel?
Yes. The VCMT110302-FM4 WMP20G insert is specified for stainless steel and is formulated to manage the toughness and heat characteristics typical of these alloys.

What does the FM4 chipbreaker achieve?
The FM4 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips and reliable evacuation, which reduces the chance of chip jams and supports consistent surface quality when using the WMP20G grade.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
The WMP20G grade is optimised for medium to robust cutting conditions in stainless steel; it can be used for light finishing with appropriate feeds and speeds, but fine finishing may benefit from a dedicated finishing grade.

What are the geometry benefits of the rhombic 35° shape and 0.2 mm radius?
Rhombic 35° geometry gives good access and versatility for turning profiles, and the 0.2 mm radius allows accurate shoulder work and light profile radii without excess cutting forces.
