TNMG160408-RM5 WSM30S – Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver grade, Walter Tools

A TNMG160408-RM5 WSM30S indexable turning insert engineered for secure and productive machining of stainless steels and difficult‑to‑machine, heat‑resistant alloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high edge stability
• Designed for stainless steel and superalloys
• Triangular 60° insert with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for secure, heavy‑duty cuts

Consistent edge life for demanding materials

The combination of the WSM30S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating provides a high level of thermal and mechanical resistance suited to machining stainless steels (M) and superalloys or titanium alloys (S). The coated carbide microstructure reduces flank wear and supports stable chip formation, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes in continuous production runs. For shop floors facing high cutting temperatures and sticky materials, this insert offers measurable improvements in process reliability and repeatability.

Geometry that enables heavy, controllable cutting

A triangular 60° shape with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a negative 0° rake delivers rigidity and resistance to edge chipping during roughing and interrupted cuts. The RM5 chipbreaker is designed to control chip shape under high thermomechanical load, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface stability. These geometric characteristics mean fewer stoppages for rework, a reduction in toolholder vibration and more consistent part quality in semi‑finish and rough‑turning operations.

Practical integration for higher productivity

The insert is compatible with standard TNMG toolholders and is intended for workshops seeking a balance of performance and predictable maintenance intervals. By employing the WSM30S grade, users gain an insert that supports higher cutting parameters while maintaining surface integrity, especially when machining rostfreier Stahl (stainless steel) and comparable alloys. For selection of the optimal seat, clamping and cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge provides tailored advice to align insert choice with machine power, coolant strategy and cycle times.
