CNMG160608-RM5 WSM10S turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver, negative 0° | Walter Tools

CNMG160608-RM5 WSM10S is a precision turning insert for demanding machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant alloys

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal stability
• RM5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombus 80° form for versatile turning operations
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge strength

Improve throughput with heat‑resistant cutting performance

The CNMG160608‑RM5 WSM10S insert combines a Tiger·tec Silver coating with a specially developed grade to deliver reliable cutting in materials that generate heat and tend to work‑harden. The coated carbide grade WSM10S is optimised for safe chip formation and consistent edge retention when machining rostfreier Stahl and nickel‑based alloys. This results in fewer tool changes, longer uninterrupted cycles and a measurable increase in productivity on lathes and turning centres. The RM5 chipbreaker contributes to stable chip control, reducing downtime related to chip management and improving surface finish consistency.

Robust geometry for repeatable accuracy and tool life

A negative relief geometry with a 0° (negative) rake and a 0.8 mm corner radius delivers mechanical strength at the cutting edge, especially under heavy interrupted cuts or when processing tough, heat‑resistant superalloys. The rhombic 80° form offers flexible approach angles for external turning and profiling tasks, while the plate thickness and design maintain clamping stability in standard toolholders. Together, these attributes reduce the risk of edge chipping and support repeatable dimensional accuracy across production batches, which is crucial for quality assurance and minimising scrap rates.

Seamless integration into production and inventory

The insert’s standard CNMG format and clear designation simplify tool selection and inventory management. As a coated carbide turning grade with the RM5 chipbreaker, it fits established toolholder systems and is suitable for a range of turning operations from finishing to medium‑depth cuts. The combination of grade, coating and geometry supports a cost‑effective machining strategy: fewer tool changes, predictable tool life and improved process security. For machining plans that include rostfreier Stahl or titanium‑alloy components, this insert offers a balanced option between edge stability and thermal resistance.

FAQ

Which materials are best suited to this insert?
The CNMG160608‑RM5 WSM10S insert is engineered for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S) thanks to the Tiger·tec Silver coating and WSM10S grade.

How does the RM5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The RM5 chipbreaker on the CNMG160608‑RM5 promotes controlled chip formation and improved surface finish, supporting reliable turning cycles with fewer interruptions.

Is this insert compatible with standard CNMG toolholders?
Yes, the CNMG160608 design fits standard CNMG holders; the robust thickness and rhombus 80° form ensure secure clamping and process stability.

What benefit does the 0° negative rake provide?
A 0° (negative) rake offers enhanced edge strength and resistance to chipping during heavy cuts or interrupted turning, extending usable tool life.

Can this insert be used for roughing and finishing?
The combination of a 0.8 mm corner radius and the WSM10S grade makes the insert suitable for medium‑to‑finishing operations, providing a balance between robustness and surface quality.
