DNMG150408-NRS WSM10S Drehwendeschneidplatte — robust Tiger·tec Silver grade for stainless steel and superalloy turning (Walter Tools)

The DNMG150408-NRS WSM10S is a rhombic 55° turning insert designed for demanding machining of stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys, offering a coated carbide grade optimised for secure chip formation and durable cutting edges

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide
• NRS chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for long cutting life

Thermal stability and grade benefits that reduce tool failures

The combination of Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM10S grade provides enhanced resistance to thermal loads and abrasive wear, which directly reduces edge breakdown during interrupted cuts or high-temperature conditions. For machining stainless steel and nickel-based alloys, the coating supports a stable cutting edge and improved heat management; this minimises the tendency for built-up edge and helps maintain surface finish consistency over longer tool life. The result is fewer tool changes and more predictable production cycles, which increases process uptime.

Reliable chip control and process security with NRS geometry

The NRS chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips when turning ductile and heat-prone materials. Combined with the 0° negative rake, this geometry improves cutting-edge stability under heavy engagement and supports consistent chip evacuation. For production environments where reproducible cycles matter, this insert reduces the risk of chip-related interruptions and protects the workpiece from damage. If further machining parameters are required for a specific stainless steel grade, Metav Werkzeuge can provide tailored cutting data and guidance.

Geometry and tolerance that support versatile turning strategies

The rhombic 55° form and a 0.8 mm corner radius balance strength and accessibility for a wide range of external turning operations. The inscribed size of 15 and thickness code 04 deliver a compact yet sturdy profile suitable for finishing and medium-depth machining. Tolerance class M ensures consistent interchangeability and reliable seating in standard toolholders, simplifying tool management across toolrooms. This geometry is particularly effective when seeking a compromise between edge strength and the ability to achieve fine surface quality.
