DNMG150604-FM5 WSM10S Turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver, for stainless steels and superalloys (Walter Tools)

DNMG150604-FM5 WSM10S is a negative‑rake rhombic insert designed for demanding turning applications in stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for edge stability
• WSM10S grade for stainless and superalloys
• FM5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 55° geometry with 0.4 mm nose radius

Greater process security for difficult materials

The combination of the WSM10S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating offers improved thermal resistance and edge stability, specifically tuned for materials that tend to work‑harden or generate heat, such as stainless steels and nickel‑base alloys. This results in more consistent cutting forces and reduced risk of built‑up edge, which supports longer effective tool life and fewer unplanned interventions in production. The coated carbide substrate provides wear resistance while maintaining toughness where intermittent cutting or unstable conditions occur.

Geometry and chip control that sustain productivity

The rhombic 55° form and negative rake (0°) deliver a stable cutting interface that withstands high loads, while the FM5 chipbreaker promotes safe and repeatable chip segmentation. A 0.4 mm corner radius balances strength and surface finish, enabling reliable passes with minimal burr formation. For shop floors focused on cycle time and component quality, this geometry helps reduce insert indexing and rework by producing predictable chips and consistent surface integrity on each cut.

Practical fit for standard toolholders and series performance

The insert’s designation aligns with common turning systems, easing integration into existing toolholder inventories and minimising setup complexity. The technical specification—compact inscribed size and standard thickness code—supports frequent replacement without extensive tooling changes, contributing to steady throughput. As part of Walter Tools’ Tiger·tec Silver series, the insert benefits from the manufacturer’s focus on process reliability and consistent batch quality, aiding procurement decisions where repeatable outcomes are required.
