DNMG150604-FM5 WSM20S — turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

A DNMG150604-FM5 WSM20S turning insert engineered for demanding turning operations on stainless steel and superalloys, offering robust edge stability and consistent chip formation

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal resistance
• WSM20S grade for stainless steel and superalloys
• FM5 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Rhombic 55° form with 0.4 mm corner radius

High process reliability through thermal-stable coating

The Tiger·tec Silver coating paired with the WSM20S grade improves resistance to thermal loading, which is critical when machining materials that generate high cutting temperatures. This combination supports stable chip formation and reduces the risk of premature edge wear. For production environments where consistency matters, the coating technology is designed to maintain cutting performance across longer tool life, resulting in fewer indexings and more predictable downtimes.

Optimised geometry for controlled machining of tough materials

The insert’s Rhombus 55° shape and FM5 chipbreaker deliver reliable chip control when turning ductile and work-hardenable alloys. The 0.4 mm corner radius helps distribute cutting forces and improves edge robustness during interrupted cuts or entry/exit conditions. These geometry features are particularly advantageous for machining stainless steel and high-temperature alloys, where chip evacuation and edge stability directly affect surface finish and component tolerances.

Practical benefits for workshop productivity

Designed for industrial turning operations, this indexable insert balances performance and adaptability. The negative rake (0° (negativ)) supports heavy cutting and interrupted cuts while the tolerance class M ensures consistent seating and repeatable positioning in the toolholder. The combination of grade, chipbreaker and form supports higher process security and contributes to steady production results, making it suitable for batch runs and component families that demand repeatable quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The DNMG150604-FM5 WSM20S turning insert is suitable for stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys (material groups M and S), with the WSM20S grade optimised for thermal stability and edge life.

How does the FM5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FM5 chipbreaker gives improved chip control and evacuation, supporting consistent surface quality and reducing the likelihood of built-up edge during turning operations with the Walter Tools insert.

What is the benefit of the Tiger·tec Silver coating?
Tiger·tec Silver provides enhanced thermal resistance and wear protection, extending tool life under higher cutting temperatures common when machining stainless steel and superalloys.

Can the negative rake (0°) geometry be used for heavy cuts?
Yes, the 0° (negative) relief supports heavier cuts and interrupted cutting conditions by increasing edge robustness and stability of the Walter Tools insert.

Is the corner radius suitable for finishing passes?
The 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to achieve good surface finishes; for fine finishing, smaller radii or ground inserts may be considered depending on the application.

How does the tolerance class M influence toolholder seating?
Tolerance class M ensures repeatable insert positioning and consistent contact with the toolholder, which aids in achieving stable machining results and consistent part quality.
