TNMG160408-NMS WSM10S — triangular turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver grade by Walter Tools

The TNMG160408-NMS WSM10S is a coated triangular turning insert designed for heavy-duty machining of stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering a negative rake geometry for enhanced edge strength.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal stability
• Grade WSM10S optimised for M and S materials
• Triangular 60° insert with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for robust cutting edges

Consistent performance on stainless and high‑temperature alloys

The combination of the WSM10S grade and the Tiger·tec Silver coating targets the typical challenges of machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys: high cutting temperatures, material toughness and tendency to form built‑up edge. The coated carbide composition provides improved heat resistance and wear control, which translates into longer edge life and fewer insert changes. This increases process stability and reduces downtime in production environments that demand repeatable, predictable tool behaviour.

Geometry that prioritises edge strength and chip control

The insert’s triangular 60° form with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a negative 0° rake is configured to maximise flank support and minimise chipping under interrupted cutting or heavy cross‑sections. The NMS chipbreaker promotes stable chip formation and evacuation, which helps maintain surface quality and reduces the risk of rework. These features together provide a reliable balance between cutting force capacity and surface finish in demanding turning operations.

Shop‑floor benefits: predictable cycles and fewer interruptions

Designed for use across ISO groups M and S, this insert supports efficient machining of rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature superalloys, allowing fewer tool requalifications and more consistent cycle times. The stable cutting edge and coating technology contribute to economic tool life in continuous production, meaning fewer insert changes and lower process variability. For operations focused on throughput and repeatability, this insert delivers measurable gains in productivity and process safety.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160408‑NMS WSM10S insert is developed for rostfreier Stahl (ISO M) and heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium (ISO S), providing thermal stability and controlled chip formation for these groups.

What are the advantages of the WSM10S grade?
WSM10S is a coated carbide grade within the Tiger·tec Silver family that offers improved heat resistance and wear control, enhancing edge life and reducing the frequency of insert changes in demanding turning applications.

What chipbreaker does the insert use and why is it important?
The insert features the NMS chipbreaker, which supports consistent chip formation and evacuation to improve surface quality and reduce the likelihood of chip entanglement in production turning.

How does the negative 0° rake affect machining?
A 0° negative rake increases the strength of the cutting edge and improves resistance to chipping during interrupted cuts or heavy engagement, contributing to process reliability and fewer unplanned stops.
