Turning insert CNMG160616-MM5 WSM30S — Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

the CNMG160616-MM5 WSM30S turning insert offers coated-carbide performance for demanding finishing and light roughing in stainless steels and superalloys

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• Optimised MM5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Negative 0° rake for high edge stability
• 1.6 mm corner radius for improved tool life

Higher process reliability through advanced coating and grade

The WSM30S grade, part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, is a coated carbide compound developed for machining stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys. Its coating chemistry increases thermal resistance and reduces adhesion on the cutting edge, which translates directly into longer tool life and fewer interruptions in production. For manufacturers seeking consistent performance when cutting tough, work-hardened materials, this insert supports steady metal removal rates while lowering the frequency of tool changes and rework.

Geometry that stabilises cutting forces and surface quality

Featuring a rhombic 80° shape with a 1.6 mm corner radius and 0° (negative) rake, the insert delivers a balanced combination of strength and accessibility. The negative rake enhances edge security under heavy engagement, while the MM5 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation. These geometric choices reduce vibration and help produce a uniform surface finish with minimal secondary machining. The result is a dependable turning cycle with fewer downstream corrections and consistent component tolerances.

Practical advantages for shop-floor integration

Designed for straightforward toolholder mounting and reproducible set-ups, this turning insert simplifies process planning for mixed-batch production. The coated carbide grade tolerates intermittent cuts and variable cutting conditions common in stainless steel work, helping to maintain cutting-edge integrity under thermal stress. Where repeatability and throughput matter, the insert supports cost-efficient machining by extending usable tool life and reducing scrap. For additional process optimisation, Metav Werkzeuge’s application engineers can provide cutting parameters tailored to specific machines and workpiece alloys.
