VBMT160404-MM4 WSM10S – Turning indexable insert, Tiger‑tec Silver coating, Walter Tools

The VBMT160404-MM4 WSM10S is an indexable turning insert designed for precision turning of challenging materials such as rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for high process security
• Optimised MM4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 35° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Tailored for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

Reliable edge stability for demanding materials

The insert combines the Tiger‑tec Silver coating with the WSM10S grade to deliver elevated thermal resistance and a durable cutting edge when machining tough alloys. The coated cemented carbide composition increases wear resistance and reduces the tendency for built‑up edge formation, which is especially relevant for rostfreier Stahl that generates heat and work‑hardens. This results in more consistent tool life and fewer unscheduled tool changes, supporting a predictable production flow.

Predictable chip control and cutting behaviour

Thanks to the MM4 chipbreaker and the positive rhombic 35° geometry, chips are sheared and evacuated reliably even under heavy machining conditions. The 0.4 mm corner radius reduces cutting forces without compromising edge strength, while the 5° clearance angle lowers friction at the flank. The chipbreaker design converts cutting energy into controlled chip segments, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of tool nose damage—features that pay dividends in repeatability and process stability.

Practical integration and robust handling

The insert’s designation reflects its dimensions and functional codes for straightforward tool selection: inscribed circle size 16 and thickness code 04, with tolerance class M for consistent fit in compatible toolholders. As an indexable insert from Walter Tools’ Tiger‑tec Silver family, it is suitable for shop floor use where short setup times and predictable performance matter. The combination of coating, grade and geometry supports efficient turning of both rostfreier Stahl and Titan‑containing alloys, while the MM4 geometry simplifies machining parameter optimisation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The VBMT160404‑MM4 WSM10S turning insert is engineered for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys (S), offering stable edge life and good chip control under thermal load.

How does the MM4 chipbreaker improve machining?
The MM4 chipbreaker on the VBMT160404‑MM4 WSM10S promotes segmented chips and controlled evacuation, which reduces heat concentration at the cutting edge and improves surface finish.

What does the rhombic 35° geometry mean for cutting forces?
A rhombic 35° insert presents a relatively acute entering angle that lowers radial forces and improves access to small diameters, while the 0.4 mm corner radius balances strength and low cutting force.

Is this insert compatible with standard toolholders?
The VBMT160404‑MM4 WSM10S uses standard VBMT indexing dimensions and tolerance class M, allowing installation in common toolholders designed for 16 mm inscribed‑circle inserts.

Can this insert handle interrupted cuts or heavy cuts?
With its coated grade and robust edge preparation, the VBMT160404‑MM4 WSM10S is suited to demanding cuts; machining parameters should be adjusted to workpiece material and operation to maximise tool life.
