WNMG060408-MM5 WSM30S turning insert — Trigon 80°, Tiger‑tec Silver (Walter Tools)

WNMG060408-MM5 WSM30S is an indexable turning insert designed for heavy-duty finishing and medium shoulder turning in demanding materials such as rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for thermal stability
• MM5 chipformer for reliable chip control
• Trigon 80° geometry with 0.8 mm radius

Increased process security and consistent edge life

The coated grade WSM30S in the Tiger‑tec Silver family delivers a balance of hardness and thermal resistance, optimised for tough applications. The combination of coating technology and substrate reduces built-up edge and supports a stable cutting edge, which translates into fewer interruptions for edge dressing and longer intervals between indexings. For machining rostfreier Stahl and materials in group S, this means more predictable tool life and fewer scrapped parts, improving throughput and reducing overall machining cost per component.

Predictable chip behaviour for safer machining

The MM5 chipformer and the Trigon 80° profile promote controlled chip segmentation and evacuation even under elevated cutting temperatures. The insert’s geometry, including the 0.8 mm radius, supports a secure cutting action with a negative rake 0° configuration that prioritises edge strength. This results in reduced vibration and consistent surface quality on complex contours and interrupted cuts, making the insert suitable for both finishing passes and robust light roughing where chip control is essential.

Applicability across high‑temperature alloys

Engineered for materials in ISO groups M and S, the insert is effective when machining rostfreier Stahl, titanium and comparable superalloys that tend to generate heat and challenge edge stability. The coated cemented carbide substrate resists thermal softening and wear, enabling higher cutting performance in operations that require repeatable dimensional accuracy. Technical reliability here supports tighter process windows and reduces rework rates on high‑value components.

Practical integration and production benefits

The trigon format offers versatility in clamping and indexing, while the insert dimensions (06 size, thickness code 04) make it compatible with a broad range of tool holders. The robust design contributes to operator confidence and shorter setup cycles, and the clarity of the geometry simplifies grade selection for production planners. Combined, these attributes help maintain steady cycle times and support efficient batch production in tool rooms and job shops.

FAQ

What materials are best machined with this insert?
The WNMG060408-MM5 WSM30S from Walter Tools is tailored for rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (ISO group S), where edge stability and thermal resistance are required.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating benefit production?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WSM30S grade improves thermal stability and wear resistance, which helps maintain a stable cutting edge and extends usable index intervals in demanding operations.

Is the MM5 chipformer suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes; the MM5 chipformer combined with the Trigon 80° profile promotes secure chip control and robust cutting behaviour, making it appropriate for interrupted and unstable cutting conditions.

Which tool holders are compatible with the trigon insert?
The trigon 80° format is compatible with standard holders designed for WNMG‑style inserts; selection should match the insert size code and clamping system for correct seat and orientation.
