SNMG120408-NRS WSM10S – Turning insert (square 90°), Tiger‑tec Silver | Walter Tools

SNMG120408-NRS WSM10S is a negative‑rake, square 90° turning insert engineered for demanding applications in stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys on modern CNC turning centres

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for high process security
• Suitable for stainless steel and superalloys
• Square 90° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• 0° negative clearance for robust edge stability

Productive machining with a premium grade

The combination of the WSM10S grade and the Tiger‑tec Silver technology prioritises reliable performance when machining difficult materials. Designed for stainless steel and heat‑resistant alloys, this grade supports stable chip formation and improved thermal resistance, reducing the tendency for built‑up edge and unexpected tool wear. For production environments this means fewer interruptions and more consistent cycle times, translating into measurable efficiency gains on batch and series production.

Predictable edge life and improved surface results

The insert’s NRS chipformer together with a square 90° geometry and 0.8 mm corner radius focuses on controlled chip breaking and predictable flank wear. The negative 0° clearance contributes to a robust cutting edge less prone to deformation under high cutting forces, which helps maintain surface finish and dimensional consistency. Operators gain the practical benefit of longer tool life and fewer insert changes, supporting higher uptime on turning operations.

Process security, handling and compatibility

Tolerance class M and the specified execution ensure interchangeability and repeatable mounting in standard toolholders. The insert’s size and form factor make it suitable for a broad range of turning tasks on automatic and manually operated lathes alike. Integration into existing tool cycles is straightforward, while the coating and carbide combination supports high temperatures and abrasive wear—advantages when working with superalloys and stainless steel that otherwise demand conservative cutting parameters.
