CNMG120408‑RM5 WSM30S – Indexable turning insert (Tiger‑tec Silver, RM5) by Walter Tools

The CNMG120408‑RM5 WSM30S indexable turning insert is engineered for secure chip control and edge stability when machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated grade WSM30S
• RM5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 80° geometry, 0.8 mm corner radius
• Optimised for stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys

Reliable cutting on challenging materials

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WSM30S grade delivers improved thermal stability and wear resistance, which translates into fewer tool changes and higher process reliability when machining demanding materials. The integrated RM5 chipbreaker promotes consistent chip control, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and improving evacuation under varying cutting conditions. For production environments that require repeatable component quality, this insert supports a steady machining rhythm and fewer interruptions.

Geometry that secures repeatable part quality

The Rhombic 80° shape and 0.8 mm corner radius provide a robust cutting edge suited to medium and heavier cuts while maintaining surface integrity. The 0° negative rake increases cutting edge strength and assists in managing thermal loads during tough operations. These geometric choices help ensure consistent tool life and dimensional predictability, particularly when tackling components made from stainless steels and nickel‑based alloys where edge stability is critical.

Straightforward integration into standard tool systems

Built to the CNMG ISO form, the insert fits holders designed for CNMG inserts and is immediately deployable in common turning tool systems. The standardised form factor supports quick index changes and simple inventory handling, so production lines benefit from lower downtime and clearer tooling logistics. As part of the Tiger‑tec Silver series, the grade is optimised to balance toughness and hardness for diverse cutting scenarios.

Lower operating costs through longer life and quality

By combining a resistant coating with a geometry geared to stable chip formation, this insert contributes to longer tool life and a consistent surface finish, reducing rework and inspection effort. The predictable performance of the Walter Tools grade supports efficient floor planning and can improve overall process economics in small‑batch and series production alike.
