TNMG160408-MS3 WSM01 – Indexable turning insert, Tiger-tec Silver, Walter Tools

The TNMG160408-MS3 WSM01 is an indexable turning insert engineered for demanding turning operations on rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature alloys, offering a 60° triangle form with a robust chipforming geometry.

• Tiger-tec Silver coating for wear resistance
• WSM01 grade for rostfreie Stähle and superalloys
• Triangle 60° shape for versatile turning
• MS3 chipbreaker for secure chip control

High-performance cutting for difficult-to-machine alloys

The Tiger-tec Silver series combined with the WSM01 coated-carbide grade is specified for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys where edge stability and thermal resistance are critical. The coating and grade interaction reduces flank wear and supports a stable cutting edge, which translates into longer tool life and fewer index changes per batch. In practical terms, this means more consistent cycle times and fewer interruptions for tool handling in serial and batch production. The material compatibility covers the ISO groups indicated by the tool data, ensuring the insert is suitable where toughness, high temperature and adhesive wear are challenges.

Reliable chip control and consistent surface quality

The MS3 chipbreaker geometry and the 60° triangle form create predictable chip shapes and evacuation even under interrupted cuts. The insert’s 0.8 mm corner radius helps to combine edge strength with the capability to achieve acceptable surface integrity in finish and semi-finish passes. A 0° negative rake provides robustness during heavy cuts and in less rigid setups, reducing the risk of edge chipping and contributing to repeatable dimensional results. These characteristics support reduced rework rates and improved first-pass yield in turning operations.

Practical advantages for production planning and tool handling

Designed as an indexable insert, the component’s standardised mounting and the compact inscribed circle simplify toolholder selection and changeover processes. Key dimensional references such as the inscribed circle 16 mm and thickness 04 enable straightforward BOM entries and spare-part management. The tolerance class M and execution G indicate consistent manufacturing quality and fit for standard toolholders. Together, these attributes lower administrative friction and support lean tooling strategies through predictable consumable consumption and easier inventory control.

Process security and brand-backed performance

As part of the Walter Tools portfolio, this insert benefits from a product family focused on stable edge geometry and improved manufacturability. The Tiger-tec Silver series is engineered to balance wear resistance and edge toughness, supporting high process stability and consistent results across shifts. For production lines where uptime and repeatability are valued, the combination of grade, chipforming and insert geometry provides a measurable contribution to productivity and process reliability.
