LNHU100508-F57T WSM35G Fräswendeschneidplatte by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold, negative rake 0°

LNHU100508-F57T WSM35G is a rectangular indexable milling insert designed for heavy-duty cutting of rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature alloys

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for thermal stability
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Negative rake 0° for robust cutting action
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for strong cutting edges

Greater process reliability for difficult-to-machine alloys

The combination of the WSM35G grade and the Tiger·tec Gold coating delivers notably improved thermal stability and wear resistance in continuous and semi-continuous milling operations. Designed specifically for machining rostfreier Stahl and S-group materials, this insert supports stable chip formation and reduces the tendency for build-up on the cutting edge. The result is fewer interruptions for edge dressing and more consistent component quality, which contributes directly to predictable production throughput.

Robust geometry that protects the cutting edge and simplifies set-up

The insert’s negative rake 0° geometry and integrated chipbreaker F57T are tailored to heavy-cut scenarios where edge strength and controlled chip flow are essential. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases mechanical stability at corners, reducing chipping under intermittent cuts. The rectangular form factor with the LNHU designation enables straightforward clamping in common milling cutter bodies, keeping set-up times short and upgrading existing tool holders without complex adjustments.

Increased tool life and comparable surface integrity

By prioritising coated cemented carbide technology, this grade balances hardness and toughness to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses encountered when cutting high-alloy materials. The insert supports consistent surface finish performance and repeatability across runs, which helps to lower rework rates and maintain dimensional tolerances. For operations aiming to maximise uptime, this geometry and grade combination contributes to reliable cycle times and predictable reconditioning intervals.

Practical application and integration advice for the workshop

This indexable plate is particularly suited to roughing and semi-finishing passes in rostfreier Stahl and nickel-based or heat-resistant alloys when robust edge retention is required. When integrating the insert into a production cell, ensure appropriate coolant application and machine rigidity to exploit the coating’s thermal advantages. For tailored feed and speed settings or to confirm tool-holder compatibility, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisers can provide empirical starting points and material-specific recommendations to reduce trial-and-error.

FAQ

What materials are best for this insert?
The insert is specified for rostfreier Stahl and S-group materials (superalloys and titanium); the WSM35G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating are optimised for these applications.

Is the geometry suitable for roughing operations?
Yes, the negative rake and F57T chipbreaker provide robust cutting behaviour and effective chip control for roughing and semi-finishing.

How does the corner radius affect performance?
The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and reduces chipping risk during heavy or interrupted cuts, improving insert life and process stability.

Can this insert be used in standard cutter bodies?
The LNHU geometry aligns with common rectangular pocket designs; verify seat and clamping compatibility before series production.
