WNMG060408-FM5 WSM20S – Trigon 80° turning insert with Tiger·tec Silver coating (Walter Tools)

The WNMG060408-FM5 WSM20S is a Trigon 80° turning insert designed for heavy-duty finishes and secure performance in demanding materials such as rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high process security
• Trigon 80° form for stable edge support
• FM5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

Consistent performance through specialised coating and grade

The coating technology Tiger·tec Silver combines a wear-resistant surface with optimised substrate properties to extend tool life under thermal and mechanical stress. As a coated carbide grade, the insert promotes predictable wear behaviour and reduced edge build-up when machining high-temperature alloys. This leads to longer intervals between index changes, lower tooling costs per component and fewer unplanned interventions in production. The combination of coating and substrate is aimed at operators seeking stable, repeatable results in series production.

Geometry engineered for secure cutting and chip management

The Trigon 80° form, paired with a 0° (negative) rake and a 0.8 mm corner radius, is designed to support the cutting edge under heavier feed and interrupted cuts. The FM5 chipbreaker ensures controlled chip formation, which reduces the risk of chip-related damage and simplifies chip evacuation. Together these features deliver enhanced edge security and make the insert suitable for tougher turning operations where dimensional stability and surface finish are priorities.

Broad material capability with focus on challenging alloys

The insert’s grade WSM20S is tailored for machining applications classified under ISO groups M and S: M for rostfreier Stahl and S for heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium. The grade’s heat resistance and edge stability help to manage the poor thermal conductivity and work‑hardening tendencies of these materials. In practice, this means fewer tool changes on demanding workpieces and improved component consistency when turning complex alloys that would otherwise shorten tool life.

Productivity and shop-floor integration

Specified as a WNMG‑format insert with standard dimensions and a moderate thickness, this product is compatible with conventional WNMG holders and facilitates straightforward integration into existing turning cells. The robust edge geometry and coating synergy reduce unplanned downtime and support higher metal removal rates without sacrificing surface quality. For procurement and process planning, the insert’s design promotes stock rationalisation and repeatable performance across batches, strengthening throughput while maintaining quality standards.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for rostfreier Stahl?
Yes. The WNMG060408-FM5 WSM20S is specifically formulated for rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and provides stable cutting behaviour and reduced edge build-up when machining these materials.

What advantage does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on this Walter Tools insert improves heat resistance and wear behaviour, resulting in more consistent tool life and better performance in thermally aggressive turning operations.

How does the FM5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FM5 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation, which decreases the risk of chip entanglement and supports reliable surface quality during turning.

Can the insert handle titanium or high-temperature alloys?
Yes. The WSM20S grade is intended for demanding materials within ISO group S, offering the thermal and edge stability required for many heat‑resistant alloys and titanium work.

Does the Trigon 80° form offer any operational benefits?
The Trigon 80° geometry provides strong edge support and good access for finishing and semi-finishing cuts, improving dimensional stability in heavy or interrupted turning.
