Turning indexable insert CNMG160612-RM5 WSM30S (CNMG160612-RM5) — Tiger‑tec Silver, for rostfreier Stahl | Walter Tools

The CNMG160612-RM5 WSM30S is a rhombic 80° turning insert designed for demanding machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, combining a Tiger‑tec Silver coating with a stable RM5 chipbreaker for reliable cutting performance.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide technology
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 80° geometry, 1.2 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake with RM5 chipbreaker

Durable coating for thermally demanding cuts

The Tiger‑tec Silver coating together with the WSM30S grade provides thermal resistance and wear stability where heat concentration and workpiece adhesion are typical. This combination supports secure chip formation and helps prevent built‑up edge on challenging materials, notably rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature alloys. By focusing on coating performance and substrate quality, the insert delivers repeatable cutting behaviour and longer tool life in continuous production environments.

Geometry and chip control that stabilise the process

A rhombic 80° form with a 1.2 mm corner radius and negative 0° rake creates a robust cutting edge that resists chipping under intermittent engagement and variable feeds. The RM5 chipbreaker is engineered for controlled fragmentation and evacuation, reducing the risk of long, continuous chips and improving surface integrity. These geometric features translate into predictable tool wear and more consistent component tolerances in serial turning operations.

Boosted productivity with consistent surface quality

Thanks to the coated carbide grade and edge design, the insert supports increased cutting speeds and extended index intervals, which reduces non‑productive time and tool change frequency. The combination of thermal stability and a stable cutting edge makes this insert particularly suited to processes where cycle time and surface finish are both critical. Walter Tools' engineering background contributes to process reliability and toolstand consistency across batches and shifts.

Clear application guidance and compatibility overview

The insert is classified for ISO groups M and S, meaning suitability for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium respectively. For best results, stable clamping and appropriate cutting parameters adapted to the workpiece hardness are recommended; coolant strategy should follow the machine and material specifications. For additional machining parameters or material‑specific recommendations, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical support and selection assistance tailored to the production scenario.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CNMG160612‑RM5 WSM30S insert is designed for ISO groups M and S, making it suitable for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys (including certain titanium applications) when matched with proper cutting parameters.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating improve performance?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WSM30S grade enhances thermal resistance and wear stability, which supports secure chip formation and a longer effective tool life under elevated cutting temperatures.

What is the purpose of the RM5 chipbreaker?
The RM5 chipbreaker provides controlled chip fragmentation and evacuation, which reduces the likelihood of continuous chips and helps maintain surface quality and machine uptime.

Is the negative 0° rake suitable for finishing work?
The negative 0° rake and 1.2 mm corner radius prioritise edge strength and stability; depending on feed and speed, the insert can achieve good surface finishes while offering resistance to edge damage in semi‑finishing and finishing passes.

Which product code should be referenced when ordering?
Please refer to SKU CNMG160612‑RM5‑WSM30S‑WALTER and the designation CNMG160612‑RM5 WSM30S when specifying this Walter Tools turning insert.
