WNMG060408-RM5 WMP30G – Trigon 80° turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The WNMG060408-RM5 WMP30G is a trigon-shaped turning insert designed for medium to robust machining of rostfreier Stahl, delivering stable edge life and predictable chip formation.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating technology
• WMP30G coated‑carbide grade
• RM5 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• 0.8 mm corner radius, Trigon 80° form

Consistent cutting performance for rostfreier Stahl

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WMP30G grade is engineered to counter the challenges presented by rostfreier Stahl, such as work hardening and poor thermal conductivity. The coating reduces friction and raises thermal stability, which leads to a more stable cutting edge and fewer built‑up edges during interrupted cuts. As a result, the insert provides predictable tool life under the specified medium to robust conditions and supports consistent part quality across production batches.

Reliable chip control and surface integrity

The RM5 chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation and reduces the risk of long, entangling chips that can damage the workpiece or toolholder. Combined with the Trigon 80° outline and a 0.8 mm corner radius, this insert balances strength at the cutting edge with a generous nose radius for improved surface finish. For workshop personnel unfamiliar with chipbreaker terms: the chipbreaker channels and breaks chips into shorter, manageable segments, simplifying handling and protecting the machine spindle and fixtures.

Practical application and machinability advantages

Designed for turning operations where rostfreier Stahl is the primary material, the insert’s negative 0° relief contributes to a robust cutting geometry that resists chipping under heavy radial engagement. The coated‑carbide composition of the grade offers wear resistance and edge stability, which reduces downtime for insert changes. For production environments seeking a repeatable process, this insert supports steady cycle times and reduces scrap rates through its controlled wear behaviour.

Handling, indexing and economic benefits

The trigon form allows multiple indexing positions, improving the effective life of each insert and lowering tooling costs per component. The WNMG format and the compact thickness code ensure compatibility with a broad range of standard toolholders for turning inserts; this simplifies logistics on the shop floor. Combined process reliability and the durability of the grade translate into a favourable cost‑per‑part ratio for long production runs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The insert is specified for machining rostfreier Stahl; the WMP30G grade and Tiger‑tec Gold coating are selected to manage the toughness and heat characteristics of these alloys.

How does the RM5 chipbreaker improve process stability?
The RM5 chipbreaker on this turning insert helps form shorter chips and promotes secure evacuation, reducing risk of chip entanglement and supporting consistent surface finish.

Can this insert be used in heavy cutting conditions?
With a negative 0° relief and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert offers a robust geometry that withstands moderate to robust cutting parameters when set up with appropriate toolholder stiffness.

How many cutting edges are available per insert index?
The trigon 80° form provides several indexing positions; actual number of usable edges depends on wear and application, but the shape enables efficient rotation to fresh cutting edges.

Is this a coated or uncoated grade?
This is a coated carbide grade: WMP30G within the Tiger‑tec Gold family, designed for improved thermal resistance and reduced adhesion when machining rostfreier Stahl.
