• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade
• WSM10S for stainless and superalloys
• NMS chipbreaker for consistent chips

Secure machining of stainless steels and superalloys for predictable production

The WSM10S grade, part of the Tiger‑tec Silver family, is a coated carbide formulation designed to cope with the thermal and mechanical demands of stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys. The combination of coating technology and substrate promotes stable cutting edges, which reduces the risk of build‑up formation and allows for longer tool life. For applications where heat generation and material toughness present a challenge, this insert offers a balance between wear resistance and edge stability that supports continuous, productive turning processes.

Predictable chip control and surface finish for efficient turnaround

Equipped with the NMS chipbreaker and a square 90° shape, the insert gives consistent chip control and improved dimensional stability in interrupted and continuous cuts. The 0.8 mm corner radius contributes to higher strength at the cutting edge, while the negative rake 0° geometry helps to maintain a secure edge under heavy engagement. These characteristics translate into fewer process interruptions, more reliable surface finish and reduced rework — benefits that directly support higher process efficiency on the shop floor.

Robust series design for versatile turning and economical use

The SNMG form factor and the design code ensure compatibility with common toolholders and turning systems, enabling quick tool changes and straightforward inventory management. With tolerance class M and a plate size of 12 mm, the insert suits a wide range of turning tasks where reproducible performance is required. The coated grade and chip control features combine to reduce tool consumption and increase uptime, making the insert a practical choice for workshops seeking a productive, application‑oriented solution.
