VNMG160408-MM5 WSM30S indexable turning insert – Rhombic 35°, 0.8 mm corner radius (Walter Tools)

The VNMG160408-MM5 WSM30S is a rhombic 35° indexable turning insert optimised for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys in demanding production environments.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal resistance
• Designed for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 35° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• 0° negative rake for edge stability

Stable cutting performance for difficult-to-machine materials

The combination of the WSM30S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating provides enhanced resistance to thermal loading and wear, which translates into consistent cutting-edge life when turning rostfreier Stahl and similar alloys. The MM5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and enabling predictable machining cycles. This results in fewer tool changes, improved machine uptime and measurable gains in process efficiency for serial production.

Geometry that secures surface quality and repeatability

The Rhombic 35° insert shape and 0.8 mm corner radius deliver a balance between strength and finish capability: the acute cutting angle supports positive cutting action for fine surface generation while the corner radius prevents premature edge failure under intermittent loads. The 0° negative rake increases edge robustness for medium to heavy interrupted cuts, providing repeatable results across batches and reducing scrap rates in mixed-production shops.

Application guidance and operational benefits

As a coated, solid carbide-based insert in the Tiger·tec Silver family, this grade is particularly suitable where thermal resilience and stable flank behaviour are required. Typical use cases include continuous and semi-continuous turning of rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys where tool life and process security are prioritised. For optimised cycle times, match the insert geometry with appropriate nose radii and cutting parameters; Metav Werkzeuge can assist with tailored cutting data and application-specific recommendations for the VNMG160408-MM5 WSM30S insert.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The VNMG160408-MM5 WSM30S insert is formulated for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys, reflecting the S / M material designation of the Tiger·tec Silver family.

How does the MM5 chipbreaker affect machining? The MM5 chipbreaker on the VNMG160408-MM5 supports controlled chip formation and reduced built-up edge, which helps to maintain consistent tool life and surface quality when machining demanding alloys.

Is the 0° negative rake suitable for interrupted cuts? Yes, the 0° negative rake increases edge strength and is well suited to interrupted or heavier cuts, improving process security for batch and component work.

What advantage does the Rhombic 35° form provide? The Rhombic 35° geometry offers a compromise between access and cutting action, enabling good surface finish while maintaining strength at the cutting edge for reliable repeatability.

Can the VNMG160408-MM5 WSM30S be used for finishing operations? With its 0.8 mm corner radius and coated grade, the insert can achieve good surface finishes when paired with appropriate machining parameters; adjust feeds and speeds for the desired tolerance class.
