CNMG160612‑RM5 WSM20S — Turning indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The CNMG160612‑RM5 WSM20S is a negative‑rake, rhombic 80° turning insert developed for machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys in demanding production environments.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM20S
• Optimised RM5 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Suitable for stainless steels and superalloys
• 1.2 mm corner radius with 80° rhombic geometry

High‑temperature resistance and consistent wear performance for tougher materials

The Tiger·tec Silver coating combined with the WSM20S grade provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability in the cut, making the insert suitable for machining stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant alloys (ISO group S). The coated carbide construction ensures a longer tool life under elevated temperatures and improves process reliability when materials tend to work‑harden or produce adhesive build‑up. This technical pairing supports steady production rates and reduces unscheduled tool changes.

Predictable chip control and edge stability for safer operations

The RM5 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips and maintain a stable cutting edge even under challenging material behaviour. With a 0° (negative) effective rake and a 1.2 mm corner radius, the insert delivers repeatable cutting forces and less tendency for edge chipping. These characteristics translate into improved surface finishes and lower vibration, supporting higher feed rates and consistent component quality on both CNC lathes and turning centres.

Geometry and format designed for flexible, productive turning

The CNMG form with its 80° rhombic shape and standard insert size allows for versatile application windows from light finishing to robust medium cutting, depending on toolholder set‑up. The thickness and form code ensure stable clamping in standard indexable toolholders and reliable index‑to‑index repeatability. As a result, the turning insert supports productive machining strategies while keeping process variation and down‑time to a minimum, contributing to overall manufacturing efficiency and predictable part tolerances.
