WNMG060404-FM5 WSM01 indexable turning insert — Trigon 80°, FM5 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

The WNMG060404-FM5 WSM01 is an indexable turning insert designed for demanding machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, combining a Trigon 80° form with a negative 0° relief for robust chip formation and stable cutting.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• WSM01 grade for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Trigon 80° form for strong corner support
• FM5 chipbreaker for predictable chip control

Consistent metal removal and stable cutting for higher throughput

The combination of a Trigon 80° geometry and the WSM01 coated grade provides a stable cutting edge that promotes reliable metal removal when machining tough materials. The insert’s geometry gives good support at the cutting edge, reducing the tendency for chatter and enabling higher feed rates without compromising surface finish. In practical terms, this means fewer tool changes and longer uninterrupted cycles on parts made from rostfreier Stahl or nickel‑base alloys, contributing directly to improved shop productivity and lower per‑component tooling cost.

Heat resistance and edge stability for difficult materials

Developed within the Tiger‑tec Silver series, the coating and substrate pairing emphasise thermal resistance and edge protection. For operations on materials that generate high temperatures at the cutting zone, such as superalloys or workpieces classified in group S, this toughness translates into slower wear progression and a more predictable tool life. The FM5 chipbreaker helps control chip shape and evacuation, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and enabling consistent performance across medium and heavy cuts.

Clear specification aids process planning and repeatability

With a corner radius of 0.4 mm and a negative relief of 0°, the insert offers a repeatable interaction between tool, workpiece and machine. These measurable parameters simplify process setup and allow precise calculation of effective depth of cut and cutting forces, which benefits CAM programming and cycle time estimations. The insert’s standardised WNMG060404-FM5 WSM01 designation supports easy reordering and tool tracking within production management systems, ensuring a reproducible machining strategy across batches.
