CNMM160612-HU5 WSM30S — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver, HU5 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

The CNMM160612-HU5 WSM30S is an indexable turning insert engineered for demanding turning tasks in stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys, offering robust edge stability and controlled chip formation for industrial turning applications

• Tiger·tec Silver coating, heat-resistant
• HU5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 80° geometry for flexible turning
• Corner radius 1.2 mm for reliable finishes

High-temperature performance and cutting stability for demanding materials

The coated carbide grade WSM30S, part of the Tiger·tec Silver series, is formulated for temperature resistance and stable cutting edges when machining stainless steels and superalloys. The combination of a coated carbide body and a specialised HU5 chipbreaker ensures secure chip formation under thermal stress; chipbreakers shape and break chips close to the cutting zone, which reduces the risk of built-up edge and improves process security. The insert’s negative 0° free angle promotes a robust cutting edge suitable for interrupted cuts and higher feed rates, while the rhombic 80° geometry permits versatile approach angles across common turning operations.

Process benefits: longer tool life and consistent surface quality

A corner radius of 1.2 mm delivers a balance between strength and finish: the larger radius distributes cutting forces, reducing edge wear and supporting repeatable surface integrity on challenging materials. The insert’s form and a 6 mm thickness provide rigidity that minimises vibration and deflection in heavy-duty cuts, thereby extending service life and lowering tooling costs per part. Tolerance class M and execution M indicate consistent manufacturing tolerances, which supports predictable tool-holder set-up and interchangeability across tool systems. These characteristics translate into measurable productivity gains and fewer interruptions for tool changes in serial production.

Practical application and handling for workshop integration

In routine shop-floor applications the indexable design allows quick indexing to a fresh cutting edge, reducing downtime and inventory complexity compared with brazed tools. The CNMM160612-HU5 WSM30S is particularly suitable for turning operations where thermal load and material toughness challenge edge durability, for example components in the medical, aerospace and energy sectors made from stainless steels or nickel-based alloys. The HU5 chipbreaker is effective at producing short, controllable chips at appropriate feeds, lowering the need for secondary chip control measures.
