WNMG060404-FM5 WMP20G indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, Walter Tools

The WNMG060404-FM5 WMP20G is an indexable turning insert designed for robust machining of stainless steel, offering a Trigon 80° geometry and a specialised FM5 chipbreaker for controlled cutting performance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Optimised for stainless steel applications
• Trigon 80° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• FM5 chipbreaker for stable chip control

Consistent performance for stainless steel turning

The coated grade WMP20G of the Tiger·tec Gold series delivers a balance between wear resistance and edge stability that is particularly effective with stainless steel. Thanks to the coating and substrate combination, this insert reduces the risk of built-up edge and supports a secure chip formation under medium to robust cutting conditions. As an indexable insert, it enables predictable tool life and repeatable surface finishes, which helps to plan tool changes and maintain production flow with fewer interruptions.

Improved chip control and surface quality

The Trigon 80° geometry combined with the FM5 chipbreaker provides controlled chip segmentation and evacuation, reducing the likelihood of entanglement and improving process reliability. The 0.4 mm corner radius contributes to edge strength and supports stable finishing passes while maintaining dimensional accuracy. These features translate into fewer reworks and more consistent part quality when turning demanding stainless steel grades, delivering direct operational benefits in workshop and production environments.

Easy integration into existing tooling systems

With the standard WNMG form factor and the Walter Tools Tiger·tec Gold technology, this insert integrates smoothly into common tool holders and turning systems. The WMP20G grade is optimised for the specific challenges of stainless steel, which simplifies grade selection and reduces the need for trial-and-error in process setup. The robust edge behaviour supports predictable machining windows, contributing to lower scrap rates and improved throughput across batch and single-part manufacturing.

Practical guidance for application and process planning

For new setups or when adapting to tougher stainless grades, focus on stable clamping, appropriate coolant strategy and conservative feed during initial cuts; the combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the FM5 chipbreaker helps widen the optimal window. When in doubt about feeds, speeds or holder choice, application data from the manufacturer or supplier can shorten setup time and reduce risk. Technical teams benefit from cutting data that reflect the insert’s intended use in medium to robust conditions and confirm the achievable surface finish and tool life.
