CNGG120402-MS3 WSM01 – Indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The CNGG120402-MS3 WSM01 is a rhombic 80° indexable turning insert designed for heavy-duty machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering a negative 0° rake and a 0.2 mm corner radius.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide
• For rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 80° with 0.2 mm corner radius
• MS3 chipbreaker for stable chip control

Reliable performance with difficult-to-machine materials

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WSM01 grade provides thermal resistance and edge stability when machining rostfreier Stahl and other high-temperature alloys. The coated carbide formulation is optimised to reduce adhesion and built-up edge during interrupted cuts and high cutting temperatures, which translates into longer tool life and fewer tool changes. For production environments this means improved process reliability and reduced downtime without sacrificing surface finish.

Controlled chips and consistent surface quality

The integrated MS3 chipbreaker is engineered for secure chip formation on tough materials; it minimises long, stringy chips and supports predictable evacuation. The negative 0° rake combined with the chipbreaker geometry reduces cutting forces in many turning applications, resulting in better dimensional consistency and a more uniform workpiece finish. Operators unfamiliar with this technology will find that the chip behaviour becomes more manageable, decreasing the risk of rework.

Geometry tuned for precision and versatility

The rhombic 80° shape delivers a favourable cutting approach for external turning and light profiling tasks where access and rigidity matter. The 0.2 mm corner radius helps to balance strength and edge definition, permitting fine surface finishes while maintaining resistance to chipping. The insert’s size and thickness code support common clamping systems, making it straightforward to integrate into existing toolholders for a range of lathe operations.

Practical guidance for selection and machining

This grade is particularly suited to components exposed to high heat generation and materials that tend to work-harden. Select feeds and speeds based on machine rigidity and material condition; start conservatively and increase as stability permits. When using the CNGG120402-MS3 WSM01 in series production, monitor edge wear to optimise tool-change intervals and exploit the grade’s capacity for consistent performance. For process optimisation, Metav Werkzeuge can provide additional recommendations for insert seating, coolant strategy and cutting data.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CNGG120402-MS3 WSM01 is specified for rostfreier Stahl and for heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium alloys, reflecting the WSM01 grade’s focus on thermal resistance and edge stability.

How does the MS3 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MS3 chipbreaker promotes secure chip control on demanding materials, leading to safer evacuation, less machine downtime and more consistent surface quality when using the insert.

What does the rhombic 80° shape offer in turning applications?
A rhombic 80° geometry provides good access and rigidity for external turning tasks and light profiling, while allowing a favourable cutting approach for precise results.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes; the combination of the coated carbide Tiger‑tec Silver and the negative rake offers increased edge robustness, making it well suited to interrupted cutting conditions common in production.

Which parameters should be adjusted first when introducing this insert?
Begin with conservative feeds and speeds adjusted for machine rigidity and material condition, then optimise once stable cutting and acceptable surface finish are achieved.
