VNMG160404-MM5 WSM30S — Rhombic 35° turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

VNMG160404-MM5 WSM30S is an indexable turning insert designed for heavy‑duty and precision turning of difficult‑to‑machine alloys

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• Optimised MM5 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Suited for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 35° insert with 0.4 mm corner radius

High thermal resistance and secure chip formation for demanding alloys

The coated carbide grade WSM30S, part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, is engineered for heat resistance and stable cutting edges when machining tough materials. For producers working with rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature superalloys, the combination of a modern multilayer coating and a robust substrate reduces flank wear and the risk of built‑up edge. This results in fewer tool changes, longer uninterrupted cutting times and a more consistent component surface, which together improve process reliability and cost efficiency on CNC lathes.

Predictable finishing and edge stability for consistent surface quality

The insert’s MM5 chipbreaker and 0° (negativ) rake angle are coordinated to control chip formation under high thermal load. The modest 0.4 mm corner radius supports repeatable small‑radius finishing without compromising edge strength, producing improved surface integrity on critical parts. Reduced vibration and controlled chips also simplify swarf management and downstream handling, yielding a measurable uplift in operational uptime and reproducible part quality for serial production.

Precise geometry and compatibility for streamlined tool management

The Rhombic 35° profile in the VNMG family provides a versatile cutting approach for internal and external turning applications, with the 16 mm size and thickness code 04 offering a compact yet robust cutting edge for stable engagement. Tolerance class M ensures interchangeability and predictable seating in standard indexable insert holders. By standardising on a grade such as WSM30S and the VNMG form, workshops benefit from simplified inventory, repeatable results across machines and a clear path to optimise feeds and speeds for both roughing and finishing operations.

FAQ

What materials are suitable for this insert?
The VNMG160404‑MM5 WSM30S insert is specifically designed for rostfreier Stahl and S‑group materials such as heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium, offering thermal stability and secure chip formation.

How does the MM5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MM5 chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation under high cutting temperatures, reducing the incidence of built‑up edge and improving surface finish with stable cutting forces.

Can the insert be used for both roughing and finishing?
Yes, the combination of the Rhombic 35° geometry and a 0.4 mm corner radius allows flexible use across roughing and finishing passes when parameters are correctly adjusted for the VNMG160404‑MM5 grade.
