TNMG160412-MM5 WSM30S turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver, 1.2 mm corner radius (Walter Tools)

The TNMG160412-MM5 WSM30S is a triangular indexable turning insert designed for heavy-duty machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys, offering a negative rake for robust cutting and reliable edge integrity

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Triangle 60° with 1.2 mm corner radius
• 0° negative rake for robust cutting edges

High-performance grade for demanding materials

The WSM30S grade from the Tiger·tec Silver family delivers a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability for the toughest alloys. Designed to handle the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys, the carbide composition and coating combination support stable chip formation and reduce the tendency to build up material on the cutting edge. This results in more consistent part quality and fewer interrupted cycles in serial production.

Robust geometry that preserves edge life

A triangular 60° geometry with a 1.2 mm corner radius and a 0° negative rake provides mechanical strength at the cutting edge while maintaining acceptable cutting forces. The MM5 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip control in medium to heavy cuts, lowering the risk of re-cutting and surface damage. For operations where edge security and repeatable performance are critical, this geometry facilitates longer effective tool life and reduced downtime for insert changes.

Process benefits: precision and productivity

Using an insert from the Tiger·tec Silver series helps to keep process windows stable under elevated temperatures and varying feed rates. The combination of the WSM30S grade and the engineered chipformer supports a consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy in turning tasks, which reduces rework and inspection effort. In batch production, these advantages translate into measurable productivity gains and improved throughput without sacrificing component quality.

Practical notes on use and integration

The insert is supplied in the ISO designation TNMG160412-MM5 WSM30S and fits standard triangular indexable holders that accept the TNMG family. The plate thickness code and size follow industry conventions and the tolerance class M signifies consistent manufacturing precision. When integrating into a tooling layout, select holders and clamping that maintain stable clamping pressure to exploit the insert’s edge stability and chip control features.
