• MM5 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Rhombus 80° form for versatile turning operations
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

Consistent performance when machining tough alloys

The combination of the WSM10S grade and the Tiger·tec Silver coating ensures reliable cutting performance in challenging materials such as rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature superalloys. The coated carbide substrate improves thermal stability and reduces adhesion at the cutting edge, which in turn supports predictable tool life and surface finish. For production environments where repeatability and low downtime are essential, this insert provides a stable basis for process planning and reduces unscheduled tool changes.

Geometry and chip control that stabilise the cut

With a Rhombus 80° shape and a 0.4 mm corner radius, the insert balances strength and edge precision to withstand interrupted cuts while maintaining acceptable surface integrity. The MM5 chipbreaker has been developed to form manageable chips in sticky, tough materials, lowering the risk of built‑up edge and improving evacuation. The negative 0° (negative) clearance contributes to a robust cutting geometry that resists edge chipping in heavy engagement scenarios, making the insert suitable for medium to heavy roughing as well as finishing passes.

Material suitability and economic advantages

The insert’s designation targets both rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant alloys (ISO group S), reflecting a grade optimised for difficult‑to‑cut workpieces where heat generation and chip formation are critical. By combining a wear‑resistant coating with a stable chipbreaking geometry, the component reduces the frequency of index changes and supports longer cutting intervals. This leads to improved process economy through reduced tool consumption and more consistent production output.

Simple specification and integration into production

Available in the standard CNMG size with a plate thickness of 04 and a tolerance class M, the insert fits conventional CNMG toolholders and clamping systems. The standardised dimensions and the clear designation simplify tooling logistics and allow straightforward substitution into existing assortments. For process engineers, the insert provides a predictable platform for developing cutting data and toolpaths when machining corrosion‑resistant and high‑temperature alloys.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The CNMG120404‑MM5 WSM10S insert is suited for rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (ISO group S), reflecting the WSM10S grade’s focus on stable chip formation and thermal resistance.

What benefit does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating enhances thermal stability and wear resistance on the insert, allowing the WSM10S grade to maintain a sharper edge for longer in high‑temperature cutting conditions.

How does the MM5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MM5 chipbreaker produces compact, controllable chips in sticky and tough materials, reducing built‑up edge and improving chip evacuation for safer, more consistent turning operations.

Is the geometry suitable for both roughing and finishing?
The Rhombus 80° form with a 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between strength and finish capability, making the insert appropriate for medium to heavy roughing and for finishing passes when programmed accordingly.
