VNMG160404‑MS3 WSM01 turning insert — Tiger‑tec Silver, for stainless steels (Walter Tools)

The VNMG160404‑MS3 WSM01 is a rhombic 35° turning insert designed for stable material removal in rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, featuring a MS3 chipbreaker and a negative 0° relief angle.

• Tiger‑tec Silver series coating for longevity
• WSM01 grade for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 35° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• MS3 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

High process security for demanding materials

The Tiger‑tec Silver series and the WSM01 grade combine a wear‑resistant, coated carbide substrate with a geometry tailored to the challenges of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant alloys. This results in stable cutting edges and reduced risk of built‑up edge, which is especially important when machining materials that generate heat and adhere to the tool. The rhombic 35° shape and 0° negative relief promote predictable engagement and repeatable results, supporting consistent surface finish and dimensional stability for serial production.

Reliable chip control that keeps cycles running

The MS3 chipbreaker is engineered to promote reliable chip formation under the high temperatures and adhesive tendencies of rostfreier Stahl and superalloys. Controlled chips reduce the need for manual intervention and protect the workpiece and toolholder from damage, increasing uptime and throughput. With a 0.4 mm corner radius the insert balances edge strength and finishing capability, enabling longer tool life without compromising part quality.

Designed for productivity and easy process integration

As a coated indexable insert in the Tiger‑tec Silver family, this component supports higher cutting parameters and longer tool life compared with uncoated grades, contributing to improved cost efficiency per part. The insert’s VNMG style provides universal clamping compatibility across common toolholders, simplifying tool logistics on the shop floor. Clear material suitability and the robust design help reduce set‑up time and enable confident process planning for both prototype and series turning operations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The VNMG160404‑MS3 WSM01 insert is optimised for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, where the WSM01 grade and Tiger‑tec Silver coating deliver stable chip control and edge stability.

How does the MS3 chipbreaker improve machining performance?
The MS3 chipbreaker on this Walter Tools insert promotes predictable chip curl and manageable chip segments, reducing the risk of entanglement and supporting continuous production in demanding materials.

What does the 0° negative relief angle mean for cutting?
A 0° (negative) relief increases edge strength and resistance to chipping under heavy loads; this geometry on the VNMG‑style insert enhances durability when machining sticky or high‑temperature alloys.

Can this insert be used in standard VNMG toolholders?
Yes, the insert’s VNMG form factor and clamping geometry ensure compatibility with common VNMG toolholders, facilitating rapid integration into existing turning setups.

What corner radius should be chosen for finishing versus roughing?
The 0.4 mm corner radius supplied here offers a balance between edge strength and surface finish; for heavier roughing a larger radius could be preferred, while a smaller radius benefits fine finishing—consult Metav Werkzeuge for tailored recommendations.
