CNMG120416-MM5 WSM30S turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver grade for stainless steel and superalloys by Walter Tools

The CNMG120416-MM5 WSM30S is a coated carbide indexable insert designed for demanding turning applications, particularly suited to stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide
• Optimised MM5 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Suitable for stainless steel and superalloys
• Rhombus 80° geometry with 1.6 mm nose radius

Boosted process reliability through advanced coating and grade

The combination of Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM30S grade delivers thermal stability and improved wear resistance, which together reduce flank wear and extend tool life in continuous and interrupted cuts. For machining stainless steel and difficult-to-machine materials, the coated carbide formulation promotes consistent cutting-edge performance and more reliable dimensional results. This translates into fewer tool changes, less downtime and a steadier production flow — a rational benefit for high-throughput turning operations.

Predictable chip control and accurate geometry for consistent surface quality

The MM5 chipbreaker and rhombus 80° form provide controlled chip formation even under the tough conditions associated with superalloys and stainless materials. With a 1.6 mm nose radius and a 0° negative relief angle, the geometry supports robust cutting edges and stable engagement, improving surface finish while limiting vibration. Clear chip control reduces the risk of built-up edge and part rework, so productivity gains are both measurable and repeatable on series components.

Practical interchangeability and application guidance for workshop use

Tolerance class M ensures dimensional consistency for toolholders that accept CNMG inserts, easing inventory management and facilitating quick changeovers. The insert size and form suit medium-to-heavy turning tasks where edge stability and heat resistance are required. For customers needing application-specific recommendations or verification of suitability for particular stainless steel grades or exotic alloys, the technical team at Metav Werkzeuge can offer process-focused advice and optimisation tips that align cutting data with the WSM30S performance profile.
