VNMG160408-FM5 WSM10S – Turning insert for stainless steels and superalloys | Walter Tools

A VNMG160408-FM5 WSM10S indexable turning insert engineered for heavy-duty machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys, featuring Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal stability.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• WSM10S grade for stainless steel & superalloys
• Rhombic 35° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for stable cutting

Optimised process stability for demanding materials

The Tiger·tec Silver coating combined with the WSM10S carbide grade provides a balanced solution for machining rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature alloys. This composition is designed to resist thermal softening and to maintain edge stability under continuous load, which leads to fewer unscheduled tool changes and improved process predictability. The insert’s geometry allows for effective heat management during turning, supporting consistent surface quality and reduced risk of built-up edge when cutting tough, heat-generating workpieces.

Reliable chip control and predictable tool life

Equipped with the FM5 chipbreaker and a negative 0° rake, this insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, avoiding tangled chips and minimising interruptions. The 0.8 mm corner radius contributes to mechanical strength at the cutting edge, distributing cutting forces to lower the likelihood of chipping. For production environments where cycle time and stability are critical, the result is a measurable increase in uptime and a reduction in tool consumption, making the geometry particularly suitable for heavy roughing and mixed-operation turning tasks.

Compact compatibility and consistent results across setups

The Rhombus 35° shape and standard VNMG form ensure broad compatibility with common toolholders and lathe setups, while the inscribed dimension supports predictable cutting conditions across tool changes. The insert’s series characteristics favour applications where repeatability and consistent results are priorities, enabling straightforward process planning and machining parameter transfer between machines. The combination of coating, grade and form supports a practical compromise between productivity and tool life in industrial turning operations.
