CNMG160608-RM5 WSM30S Drehwendeschneidplatte – Turning insert with Tiger·tec Silver coating for heavy-duty machining by Walter Tools

A CNMG160608-RM5 WSM30S turning insert designed for demanding turning operations in rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys, offering a rhombic 80° form and a strong negative relief for consistent edge stability

• Tiger·tec Silver coated grade WSM30S
• Optimised RM5 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Rhombic 80° geometry for secure cutting forces
• Suited to rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

Reliable productivity for demanding materials

The Tiger·tec Silver coating combined with the WSM30S grade was developed for machining difficult-to-cut alloys, delivering improved wear resistance and consistent edge life. The CNMG rhombic shape provides predictable chip flow and clamping security in standard toolholders, while the RM5 chipbreaker supports controlled swarf formation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and unplanned stoppages. These attributes translate directly into higher process reliability and fewer insert changes, contributing to smoother production cycles and more efficient machine utilisation.

Maintained cutting-edge stability under thermal load

A negative 0° relief and a 0.8 mm corner radius increase the insert’s mechanical robustness, which is particularly valuable when working with tough, heat-resistant materials that generate high contact temperatures. The coated carbide substrate resists abrasive and adhesive wear, maintaining a sharper cutting edge for longer intervals and enabling consistent component tolerances. In practice, this means fewer interventions for edge dressing and more predictable tool life, supporting cost-effective batch turning and repeatable quality in serial production.

Application guidance and service support for confident selection

Selection of the correct chipbreaker and geometry is essential; the RM5 version is geared towards medium to heavy cuts where stable chip formation is required. For operations in rostfreier Stahl or high-temperature alloys, pairing the insert’s features with appropriate cutting parameters reduces vibration and improves surface finish. Technical advice and cutting data are available from Metav Werkzeuge for process optimisation, and specifications such as plate thickness, relief angle and grade help engineering teams match the insert to lathe setup and workpiece material characteristics.
