WNMG060408-MM5 WMP20G Trigon 80° turning insert – Tiger‑tec Gold · Walter Tools

WNMG060408-MM5 WMP20G is a Trigon 80° turning insert engineered for reliable machining of stainless steels under medium to robust conditions, offering stable cutting edges and consistent chip control.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for wear resistance
• Optimised for stainless steels (ISO group M)
• Trigon 80° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for edge stability

Maximise productivity on stainless steels with consistent cutting performance

The combination of the WMP20G grade within the Tiger‑tec Gold family and the MM5 chipbreaker delivers dependable cutting behaviour when working with stainless steels. The coated carbide grade is formulated to manage the toughness and heat‑generation typical of these alloys, improving chip formation and reducing edge build‑up. The insert’s Trigon form and robust cutting edge help maintain process stability, which in practice means fewer interruptions for edge changes and a more predictable cycle time in production environments.

Achieve reliable surface quality and tool life through geometry and edge design

The Trigon 80° geometry and a 0.8 mm corner radius provide a compromise between strength and finishing capability: the rounded corner increases resistance to chipping, while the insert form supports acceptable surface finishing on a wide range of turning tasks. The MM5 chipbreaker is designed to control chip flow in medium to heavier cuts, reducing the risk of long, stringy chips that can affect component quality or machine uptime. The negative 0° rake configuration gives a stable cutting edge for interrupted cuts and tougher workpieces, supporting consistent results across repeat batches.

Integrate easily into existing tooling and benefit from proven brand performance

Designed for standard WNMG toolholder systems, the insert is straightforward to inventory and deploy across production lines. The grade’s balance of wear resistance and edge stability makes it suitable for shops seeking a practical, high‑process‑security solution rather than a specialised niche grade. Walter Tools’ engineering focus on process reliability means the insert supports predictable tool life and repeatable part quality, translating to lower overall machining costs through fewer tool interventions and steadier throughput.
