CNGG120401-MS3 WSM01 Turning insert — Rhombic 80°, 0.1 mm corner radius (Tiger‑tec Silver) by Walter Tools

CNGG120401-MS3 WSM01 is a purpose‑designed turning insert for secure cutting of rostfreiem Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, combining a robust coated carbide grade with a stable negative‑rake geometry.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide for long life
• Designed for rostfreiem Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 80° geometry, 0.1 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for secure cutting

Consistent cutting performance for demanding materials

The combination of the WSM01 grade and the Tiger‑tec Silver coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability during interrupted cuts and high thermal loads. This coated carbide formulation supports secure chip control and reduces the tendency for built‑up edge when machining rostfreiem Stahl and high‑temperature alloys. For production environments where predictable tool life is critical, the insert’s material and coating reduce downtime and contribute to more stable cycle times.

Geometry that improves process reliability

The rhombic 80° geometry with a 0.1 mm corner radius and a negative 0° rake gives a secure cutting edge that resists chipping under heavy engagement. The insert’s shape concentrates cutting forces to enable controlled chip flow and improved surface integrity on turned components. Explaining the terms: a negative rake means the cutting face is slightly angled to strengthen the cutting edge, while the small corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce fine surface finishes.

Practical benefits for shopfloor productivity

With the MS3 chipbreaker configuration, the insert is tailored to break chips effectively in the targeted material groups, reducing the need for additional chip management measures. The coated carbide substrate contributes to extended tool life, which in turn lowers tooling consumption and increases machine uptime. These practical advantages translate into quantifiable gains: fewer tool changes, more consistent part quality and better utilisation of machine capacity.

Application guidance and compatibility

This insert is specified as a CNGG format with a 12 mm size and 04 thickness, intended for turning applications where robust edge stability and repeatability are required. It is particularly suited to rostfreiem Stahl and certain heat‑resistant superalloys (material groups S and M according to ISO classification). When selecting cutting parameters, favour conservative feeds and speeds at initial trials to validate the combination of machine rigidity, workpiece setup and coolant strategy for optimum results.
