WNMG060404-FM5 WSM20S — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The WNMG060404-FM5 WSM20S insert provides robust performance for demanding turning applications, especially on stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys

*Tiger·tec Silver coating for high wear resistance
*Optimised FM5 chipbreaker for secure chip control
*Trigon 80° form with 0° negative rake for stability
*Suitable for stainless steels and superalloys

Built for challenging materials — consistent edge life and process reliability

The combination of the WSM20S grade within the Tiger·tec Silver family and a specifically tuned geometry supports secure cutting when machining tough materials. The coated carbide construction increases resistance to thermal and abrasive wear, which leads to more predictable tool life when turning stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO group S). For operations that require repeatable performance under elevated temperatures, this insert reduces the risk of edge breakdown and unplanned interruptions.

Secure chip control and reduced rework thanks to FM5 chipbreaker

The FM5 chipbreaker is engineered to create short, manageable chips across a range of cutting depths, improving evacuation in both continuous and interrupted cuts. Stable chip formation minimises heat concentration at the cutting edge, supporting a consistent surface finish and reducing downstream rework. In practical terms, this means fewer part rejections and greater throughput for batch production where process stability is paramount.

Geometry and form that favour rigidity and versatility

A Trigon 80° insert form with a 0° negative rake promotes edge strength and mechanical stability, making the component suitable for heavier cuts and interrupted turning. The 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge robustness with achievable surface quality, while the insert size and thickness codes match common toolholder systems for straightforward integration. These geometry choices favour shops that need a durable turning solution without sacrificing compatibility.

Practical benefits for workshop integration and process optimisation

Using this grade and geometry combination supports longer tool life and consistent part quality, which translates into lower tool consumption per produced part and improved machine uptime. The insert is a practical choice for job shops and production environments handling difficult‑to‑cut materials, and the familiar industry form factor simplifies tool management. For tailored feeds and speeds, Metav Werkzeuge can advise on cutting data to match machine power, workpiece condition and coolant strategy.
