CNMG120404-FW5 WSM10S — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

A robust CNMG120404-FW5 WSM10S indexable turning insert engineered for demanding stainless steel and superalloy turning applications

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM10S
• Designed for stainless steel and superalloys
• Rhombic 80° CNMG insert, 0.4 mm corner radius
• 0° negative relief for stable cutting

Performance tailored for difficult-to-machine materials

The WSM10S grade, realised within Tiger·tec Silver coating technology, delivers enhanced thermal resistance and stable cutting-edge behaviour during the machining of stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys. Coated carbide construction provides a consistent balance between wear resistance and toughness, reducing the risk of edge build-up and unexpected tool failure. As a result, cycle times remain predictable and component quality stays consistent, which supports higher throughput in series production and small-batch specialist jobs.

Geometry and chip control that improve surface quality

The CNMG rhombic 80° format with a 0.4 mm corner radius and the FW5 chipbreaker combine to promote controlled chip formation and reduced vibration at the cutting zone. The 0° (negative) relief angle increases edge robustness for interrupted or heavy cuts, making the insert suitable where process stability is critical. These geometric choices translate into fewer tool changes and a more reliable surface finish, allowing machining strategies to favour productivity without compromising part accuracy.

Integration, economy and predictable tool life

As a coated-carbide insert from Walter Tools' Tiger·tec Silver family, this indexable insert is compatible with standard CNMG toolholders and clamping systems, enabling straightforward integration into existing turning operations. Predictable wear characteristics and dependable chip evacuation reduce unplanned downtime and tooling costs over time. For production environments that demand reproducible results when machining stainless steel or titanium alloys, the combination of grade, geometry and chipbreaker offers a practical route to improved process reliability.
