DNMG150612-RM5 WSM20S rhombic 55° turning insert — Walter Tools

The DNMG150612-RM5 WSM20S is a rhombic 55° turning insert designed for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys, combining a robust coated carbide grade with a dedicated chipbreaker for stable cutting in demanding conditions

• Tiger·tec Silver coated grade WSM20S
• For stainless steel and superalloys
• RM5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 55° insert, 1.2 mm corner radius

High-temperature stability and reliable edge life for demanding alloys

The coated cemented carbide grade Tiger·tec Silver WSM20S was developed for materials that generate heat and challenge edge stability. As a coated cemented carbide grade, it offers improved resistance to temperature and adhesion, which supports a consistent cutting edge during longer tool life. For machining rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and nickel- or cobalt-based superalloys (ISO group S), the combination of coating technology and tailored substrate reduces the risk of premature wear and helps maintain component tolerances in production environments.

Controlled chip formation and reduced built-up edge for safer machining

The insert’s RM5 chipbreaker ensures stable chip control, lowering the chance of long, tangled chips and improving swarf evacuation at moderate feeds. The dedicated chip geometry promotes predictable fragmentation, which supports machining continuity and reduces interruptions for manual chip clearing. In combination with the negative 0° relief angle, the insert delivers a robust cutting edge that tolerates interrupted cuts and heavy radial engagement while limiting the formation of a built-up edge on ductile alloys.

Geometry that balances strength and surface quality

The Rhombic 55° form provides flexibility across facing and turning operations, enabling use in general-purpose turning holders and certain finish cuts. The 1.2 mm corner radius enhances edge strength and contributes to a consistent surface finish when used within recommended parameters. The insert thickness 06 and the standard DNMG footprint allow reliable clamping and repeatable positioning in established toolholders, supporting quick changeovers and predictable machining results.

Application guidance for industrial production and process security

Designed for the ISO groups M and S, the insert supports machining regimes where heat and work-hardening are concerns. The Tiger·tec Silver series emphasises process reliability and wear resistance, helping to reduce downtime and deliver repeatable component quality. Where tool life and consistent surface integrity matter, this insert provides a pragmatic balance between productivity and safety of the cutting edge in serial and batch production environments.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The DNMG150612-RM5 WSM20S insert is specified for rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium alloys (ISO group S), reflecting the WSM20S grade’s heat resistance and edge stability.

How does the RM5 chipbreaker affect machining performance?
The RM5 chipbreaker promotes consistent chip fragmentation and evacuation, improving process security and reducing the likelihood of chip-related interruptions when machining ductile or work-hardening materials.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts and heavy engagement?
Yes; the negative 0° relief angle and the robust geometry provide a secure cutting edge that tolerates interrupted cuts and heavier radial loads while maintaining edge integrity.

What advantages does the rhombic 55° form and 1.2 mm radius offer?
The Rhombic 55° shape offers versatility across turning operations, and the 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength for stable tool life and good surface finish when used within recommended parameters.
