DNMG150408-FM5 WSM10S indexable turning insert — Rhombic 55°, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The DNMG150408-FM5 WSM10S is an indexable turning insert engineered for productive turning of stainless steels and difficult-to-machine superalloys, combining a Tiger·tec Silver coating with a geometry optimised for stable cutting and chip control.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM10S
• Optimised FM5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 55° form with 0° negative clearance
• Suitable for stainless steels and superalloys

Enhanced performance for tough materials

The combination of the WSM10S grade and the Tiger·tec Silver coating delivers elevated thermal resistance and wear protection, which translates into more consistent cutting over longer tool life. The substrate and coating are developed to withstand the characteristics of stainless steels and heat-resistant alloys (ISO groups M and S), where heat generation and edge stress are critical. This results in a measurable improvement in process stability and fewer unplanned tool changes, supporting higher productivity on demanding turning operations.

Reliable chip formation and process security

A decisive advantage of this insert is the FM5 chipbreaker, which is tuned to produce predictable chip shapes when machining ductile, work-hardening materials. Predictable chip control reduces the risk of snarled chips at the tool edge and promotes consistent surface finish, thereby lowering rework rates. The negative clearance of 0° combined with the rhombic 55° shape stabilises the cutting edge under variable cutting forces, aiding secure seat clamping and repeatable performance during series production.

Geometry that supports versatility and accessibility

The rhombic 55° form and the corner radius of 0.8 mm balance strength and accessibility: the geometry permits both general turning and light profiling while maintaining an edge robust enough for interrupted cuts common in stainless and superalloy turning. The insert thickness and size class provide a compact but rigid solution for a wide range of tool holders, helping maintain cutting parameters closer to optimal values and reducing vibrations that can compromise surface integrity.

Practical selection and application guidance

Selection is simplified by the clear designation of the insert series and sort: Tiger·tec Silver in WSM10S is recommended for operations where thermal stability and stable cutting edges are required. When integrating into an existing toolset, align cutting speeds and feeds with manufacturer guidance for stainless steels and superalloys; moderate cutting speeds with controlled feed and ample coolant often yield the best balance between tool life and component quality. If unsure about parameter selection for a specific alloy, Metav Werkzeuge’s consultants can provide practical recommendations based on the intended application.
