DNMG110408-FM5 WSM20S turning insert — Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Silver, FM5 chipbreaker

DNMG110408-FM5 WSM20S is a coated turning insert designed for heavy-duty machining and reliable performance in difficult-to-cut alloys

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high thermal resistance
• FM5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 55° shape for versatile turning applications

Consistent cutting performance for demanding alloys

The insert offers a coated carbide substrate in the WSM20S grade, engineered for applications where heat resistance and edge stability are essential. The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver technology and the FM5 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation and reduces the risk of built-up edge when machining rostfreier Stahl or heat-resistant superalloys. This translates into fewer interruptions and higher effective machine utilisation. The negative 0° geometry supports secure engagement and steady cutting forces on medium to heavy interrupted cuts.

Geometry and handling that improve process reliability

With a rhombic 55° form and a corner radius of 0.8 mm, the insert balances strength and surface finish. The plate thickness 04 and the dimension code 11 make the component robust enough for roughing while still enabling acceptable surface quality for semi-finishing passes. The FM5 chipbreaker is tuned to the insert geometry to break chips reliably across the specified material groups, which reduces toolholder and machine downtime and simplifies chip management in production environments.

Clear application guidance and benefits for production planning

Assigned to material groups S / M, the grade is suitable for both heat-resistant superalloys and rostfreier Stahl, where thermal load and edge wear are critical factors. The coated grade supports higher cutting parameters compared with conventional uncoated grades, offering an improved cost-per-cut scenario and longer intervals between indexings. When integrated into a well-structured cutting strategy, the insert contributes to reproducible component quality and predictable tool life, aiding production planning and process stability across batches.
