CNMG160612‑MM5 WSM10S — Rhombic 80° indexable insert, Tiger‑tec Silver coating (Walter Tools)

The CNMG160612‑MM5 WSM10S is a rhombic 80° indexable insert engineered for turning operations in stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, combining a Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade with an MM5 chipbreaker for improved process stability.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for stable cutting
• Optimised MM5 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Rhombic 80° geometry for versatile turning
• Ideal for stainless steels and superalloys

High‑performance cutting with coated carbide for difficult alloys

The Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WSM10S grade form a wear‑resistant system designed for machining materials that tend to work harden and generate heat. The combination of a coated cemented carbide substrate and an advanced top coating increases thermal resistance and reduces flank wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings. For shops processing a high share of austenitic stainless steels or Inconel‑type alloys, this results in more consistent component quality and fewer interruptions for tool changes.

Geometry designed for edge stability and predictable chips

The rhombic 80° shape with a 0° negative rake provides a robust cutting edge that tolerates interrupted cuts and varied depth of cut, while the corner radius of 1.2 mm supports stable edge formation and improved surface finish. The MM5 chipbreaker is tuned for the grade and target materials to promote short, controllable chips under moderate to heavy turning conditions, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and enhancing machining reliability in serial production.

Process efficiency and repeatable results

Selecting this insert supports higher material removal rates without sacrificing surface integrity thanks to the grade’s balance between toughness and wear resistance. The coated carbide technology helps maintain a stable cutting edge across extended runs, which contributes to reduced cycle times and predictable tool replacement intervals. For production environments, this equates to improved throughput and reproducible part quality — advantages that align with the productivity expectations for modern workshops.

Practical handling and application notes

The insert is furnished in the CNMG format for standard turning toolholders and is suited to both roughing and finishing passes depending on parameter choice and holder rigidity. For best results with stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, combination of appropriate cutting speed, feed, and coolant strategy is recommended to manage heat and chip evacuation. If additional cutting data or matching toolholder recommendations are required, Metav Werkzeuge provides application support and cutting parameter guidance.
