WNMG060408-MU5 WMP20G — Trigon 80° indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools) for rostfreien Stahl

The WNMG060408-MU5 WMP20G is an 80° trigon indexable insert designed for medium to robust cutting conditions, optimised for reliable machining of rostfreien Stahl.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Optimised MU5 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Trigon 80° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge strength

Reliable cutting performance for rostfreien Stahl

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP20G grade delivers improved wear resistance and thermal stability during stainless machining. The coated cemented carbide is engineered to reduce abrasive and adhesive wear, which means fewer tool changes and a more predictable production schedule. The specification explicitly supports machining of rostfreien Stahl, a group of alloys prone to work hardening and high heat generation; the insert's materials and coating aim to maintain a stable cutting edge under these conditions.

Predictable chip control and process stability

The MU5 chipbreaker is tailored to promote secure chip formation when turning ductile, heat-sensitive materials. By producing consistent short or segmented chips, the insert reduces the risk of chip entanglement and improves coolant access to the cutting zone. Improved chip behaviour directly supports higher machining reliability and can simplify chip handling at the machine, contributing to shorter cycle times and safer shop-floor operation.

Geometry that balances strength and versatility

The Trigon 80° form provides a strong cutting edge and is suitable for a range of turning tasks, from roughing to finishing passes within its recommended application window. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge robustness for interrupted cuts and heavier engagements, while the 0° (negative) relief supports a stable seating and positive cutting action under radial and axial loads. These geometric choices help maintain consistent surface quality and reduce the likelihood of edge chipping in demanding operations.

Practical advantages for production environments

For job shops and production lines working with rostfreien Stahl, this insert offers a predictable tool life, consistent workpiece finish and simplified process parameters thanks to its coated grade and chip control geometry. The insert format and code align with standard toolholder systems for quick index changes, supporting leaner tool management. Where reproducible results and throughput matter, the insert's properties aim to reduce downtime and support continuous machining performance.
