TNMG220408-RM5 WSM10S triangle 60° turning insert – Walter Tools, for stainless steels and superalloys

TNMG220408-RM5 WSM10S is a negative 0° relief triangle insert designed for reliable finishing and roughing in tough-to-machine materials

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• Optimal for stainless steels and superalloys
• Triangle 60° form for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edges

Stable chip control for demanding alloys

This indexable insert features the RM5 chipbreaker and the Tiger·tec Silver coating, engineered to maintain consistent chip formation when machining stainless steels and superalloys. The combination reduces the tendency for built-up edge and minimises heat-induced edge wear, which in turn supports higher effective cutting parameters and lower scrap rates. For users seeking measurable gains in cycle time and reproducibility, the insert offers a clear performance advantage through improved process security and controlled material evacuation.

Reliable edge life and reproducible results

With a corner radius of 0.8 mm and a negative 0° relief angle, the geometry is balanced for both edge strength and surface finish. The coated carbide grade WSM10S is tailored to resist thermal and mechanical wear typical of heat-resistant alloys and stainless material groups, enabling longer intervals between tool changes. This leads to reduced machine downtime and more predictable planning for batch production runs, supporting efficient shop-floor scheduling and cost management.

Versatile geometry that supports workshop productivity

The Triangle 60° form allows access to multiple cutting edges per insert and is suitable for a range of turning tasks from profiling to light roughing, increasing tooling economy. The design makes insert indexing straightforward and reduces inventory complexity because one geometry can cover several applications. Combined with Walter Tools’ focus on stable cutting-edge behaviour, the insert supports consistent surface quality and repeatable dimensional control across serial production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG220408-RM5 WSM10S insert is designed for stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys, offering thermal resistance and stable chip formation for these groups.

How does the RM5 chipbreaker affect cutting performance?
The RM5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which stabilises the cutting process and helps preserve the WSM10S coated edge under high thermal load.

Can this insert be used for finishing as well as light roughing?
Yes; the triangle 60° geometry and a 0.8 mm corner radius make the insert suitable for profiling and finishing tasks while still providing sufficient strength for light roughing.

Is the grade compatible with titanium machining?
The WSM10S grade is primarily optimised for stainless steels and superalloys; depending on the application geometry it can be applied to some titanium operations, but specific cutting data should be validated.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular design provides multiple usable cutting edges, enhancing tool economy by allowing indexing to fresh edges as wear occurs.
