• Negative rake 0° with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Rhombic 55° insert geometry, NMS chipbreaker

High‑performance cutting for demanding materials

The coated cemented carbide of the Tiger‑tec Silver series delivers a balance of wear resistance and thermal stability that supports extended tool life under high mechanical and thermal loads. As a grade, WSM01 is tailored to the challenges of machining rostfreier Stahl and ISO group S materials — where toughness and heat generation are critical factors. The negative 0° rake increases the insert’s mechanical strength, making the cutting edge more resistant to chipping during heavy cuts or interrupted turning, while the NMS chipbreaker promotes reliable chip control and reduces the risk of built‑up edge formation.

Productivity gains through stable chip formation and longer tool life

Stable chip formation and a robust cutting edge translate directly into measurable productivity benefits: fewer tool changes, reduced unplanned downtime and more consistent surface quality. The combination of the WSM01 grade and the NMS chipformer helps maintain a stable cutting edge when facing the stringy or work‑hardening behaviour typical of rostfreier Stahl, so machining cycles proceed more predictably. These characteristics make the insert suitable for series production and high‑throughput environments where repeatable performance is essential.

Practical handling and machining advantages that support process security

The rhombic 55° geometry and a corner radius of 0.8 mm give a compromise between edge strength and surface finish: the radius increases robustness for heavier depths of cut, while the insert form ensures favourable engagement angles for standard turning holders. The 0° negative relief supports interrupted cuts and provides dimensional stability in axial and radial engagement. Where ISO groups M and S are specified for workpiece materials, this insert offers a reliable choice to reduce the incidence of edge failure and to simplify insert selection for mixed production runs.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining rostfreier Stahl?
Yes. The DNMG150408‑NMS WSM01 is specifically produced for rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and offers a grade and chipformer optimised for the toughness and work‑hardening tendencies of these alloys.

What does the WSM01 grade provide compared with standard grades?
The WSM01 grade, part of the Tiger‑tec Silver family, is a coated cemented carbide designed for improved thermal and wear resistance in demanding turning applications, providing longer tool life and stable cutting edges on challenging materials.

How does the NMS chipbreaker affect machining performance?
The NMS chipbreaker promotes consistent chip control and reduces the risk of built‑up edge on materials like rostfreier Stahl and superalloys, improving surface finish and reducing interruptions for chip removal.

Can the insert handle interrupted cuts or heavy depth of cut?
Yes. The negative 0° relief and the 0.8 mm corner radius improve mechanical edge strength, making the insert more resilient during interrupted cuts and heavier engagement.

What insert geometry is specified and what benefit does it bring?
The rhombic 55° geometry provides a versatile engagement angle suitable for external turning operations, balancing accessibility with edge strength for a wide range of turning tasks.
