CNMG120408-NMS WSM01 – Indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Silver (Walter Tools)

A CNMG120408-NMS WSM01 indexable turning insert designed for secure chip control and stable cutting in rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature alloys.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended wear resistance
• WSM01 grade optimised for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 80° shape with 0.8 mm corner radius
• NMS chipbreaker for secure chip control

Consistent cutting performance where heat and toughness matter

The coated indexable insert in the Tiger‑tec Silver family delivers a predictable performance profile when machining materials that generate heat or work‑hardening tendencies. The WSM01 carbide grade is formulated to support stable chip formation and to protect the cutting edge under strenuous conditions; this results in fewer interruptions for tool changes and more consistent cycle times. The negative relief geometry with a 0° rake provides a robust cutting edge that resists chipping when confronting tough, ductile materials such as rostfreier Stahl, while the coated surface reduces abrasive wear and helps maintain dimensional accuracy over longer tool life.

Improved process security through chip control and geometry

Chip control is a decisive factor for reliable series production. The NMS chipbreaker combined with the rhombic 80° form and a 0.8 mm corner radius reduces the risk of long, stringy chips and encourages short, controllable chips suitable for automated and manual turning operations alike. Better chip control decreases downtime for clearing and limits the potential for surface damage, which in turn enhances throughput and reduces scrap rates. The geometrical choices on this insert balance edge strength with an effective cutting action, making it suitable for demanding turning tasks where repeatability and surface finish matter.

Practical integration and handling in workshop environments

The designation CNMG120408 denotes a familiar insert size and form that integrates easily into standard toolholders, simplifying tool inventory and set‑up. The coated, WSM01 grade insert is suited to applications labelled under ISO groups M and S — specifically rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium — enabling one insert type to cover a broader range of workpieces. Handling and mounting remain straightforward thanks to the standardized form; users benefit from fewer different inserts to manage while achieving predictable wear behaviour. For complex workpieces or unfamiliar materials, technical consultation is available to align cutting data with machine and workpiece conditions.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CNMG120408‑NMS WSM01 insert is intended for machining materials in ISO groups M and S, notably rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium, thanks to the WSM01 grade and Tiger‑tec Silver coating.

How does the NMS chipbreaker affect chip formation?
The NMS chipbreaker produces short, controllable chips that reduce clearing time and lower the risk of surface damage; this behaviour improves uptime when using the CNMG120408‑NMS WSM01 insert in series turning.

Is the rhombic 80° form suitable for general turning operations?
Yes, the rhombic 80° shape provides versatility for a range of turning tasks and, combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius, offers a balance of edge strength and cutting action suitable for many finishes.

Can the insert be used in automatic lathes and bar machines?
The standard CNMG form and the secure chip control of the WSM01 grade make the insert compatible with automated turning processes where consistent chip behaviour and tool life are important.

What are the main benefits of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating extends tool life through improved wear resistance and supports stable cutting temperatures, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy over longer tool life.
