CNMG160616-RM5 WSM30S indexable turning insert for stainless steel — Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Silver

A CNMG160616-RM5 WSM30S indexable turning insert designed for heavy‑duty applications, offering robust edge stability and reliable chip control for stainless steel and difficult‑to‑cut superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high wear resistance
• Optimised RM5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 80° geometry with 1.6 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for robust cutting edge

Maximised process reliability for challenging materials

The combination of the WSM30S carbide grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating delivers a cutting edge designed to withstand the thermal and mechanical demands of stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys. The coated hardmetal formulation improves heat resistance and reduces flank wear, resulting in longer tool life and fewer interruptions for index changes. For production environments where tool‑life consistency and reproducible results matter, this insert supports higher cutting speeds and stable performance under sustained loads. The technical focus on edge stability and wear control translates directly into reduced machining costs per component and improved throughput.

Precise chip control and consistent surface quality

The RM5 chipbreaker and the rhombic 80° shape with a 1.6 mm corner radius are engineered to generate controllable, segmented chips even in sticky or gummy stainless steel. The 0° (negative) rake angle increases edge strength and reduces the risk of built‑up edge formation, which helps maintain a predictable cutting action and consistent surface finish. These geometric choices support secure chip evacuation and minimise rework, making the insert suitable for both medium and heavy turning operations where process stability and component quality are priorities.

Easy integration and predictable repeatability in production

Tolerance class M, the standardised CNMG160616‑RM5 designation and the plate size 16 with thickness 06 ensure simple handling and compatibility with common clamping systems. The plate’s nominal geometry and proven sort assignment allow straightforward tool selection for stainless steel and similar alloys, simplifying inventory management. With the reliable performance of the WSM30S grade, tool planners gain predictable intervals for index changes and replacements, supporting leaner production planning and lower machine downtime.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CNMG160616‑RM5 WSM30S insert (Walter Tools Tiger·tec Silver) is specified for stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium, corresponding to ISO groups M and S.

How does the RM5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The RM5 chipbreaker on this turning insert promotes segmented chip formation and reliable evacuation, which supports consistent surface finish and reduces the likelihood of rework in stainless steel turning.

What does the 0° (negative) rake angle mean for performance?
A 0° (negative) rake angle increases edge robustness and reduces risk of built‑up edge, providing greater stability in heavy cuts and when machining tougher alloys with the CNMG160616-RM5 WSM30S.

Is the CNMG160616‑RM5 compatible with standard toolholders?
Yes, the CNMG160616‑RM5 designation and size 16 thickness 06 follow common insert standards and are compatible with holders designed for CNMG inserts.

Which manufacturer grade is used and what are the benefits?
The WSM30S grade from Walter Tools, within the Tiger·tec Silver family, offers enhanced heat resistance and wear protection, extending service life when machining stainless steel.
