WNMG080408-FM5 WSM10S turning insert — Trigon 80°, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

A WNMG080408-FM5 WSM10S turning insert engineered for reliable machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant alloys in demanding production environments

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for durability
• Trigon 80° shape for stable cuts
• FM5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Designed for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

High thermal stability for demanding materials

The Tiger·tec Silver coating and the coated carbide substrate provide significantly improved resistance to heat and wear compared with uncoated grades. This results in more consistent cutting-edge behaviour when machining materials that generate high temperatures and work harden quickly. The combination of coating technology and substrate is aimed at ensuring predictable tool life and reduced unplanned tool changes, which supports a steady production flow and lower process downtime.

Geometry and chip control that stabilise machining

The trigon 80° insert form with a 0° (negative) free cutting angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius achieves a balance between edge strength and cutting performance. The FM5 chipbreaker is matched to the geometry to promote controlled chip formation when facing or turning difficult alloys. The WNMG080408-FM5 WSM10S insert is therefore suited to operations where chip control and stable cutting forces directly improve surface finish consistency and cycle-time reliability.

Application fit and workshop benefits

Rated for ISO groups M and S, the grade WSM10S is intended for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium, where secure chip formation and edge stability are critical. Using this insert supports process reliability for medium to heavy cuts on materials that are prone to work hardening or that transmit heat into the cutting edge. The result is a measurable contribution to productivity through fewer tool interventions and consistent part quality during series production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The WNMG080408-FM5 WSM10S insert is specified for machining rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium (ISO group S), where heat resistance and edge stability are required.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating affect performance?
Tiger·tec Silver coating on this Walter Tools grade improves thermal resistance and wear behaviour, which stabilises cutting-edge life and helps maintain consistent machining performance on demanding materials.

What role does the FM5 chipbreaker play?
The FM5 chipbreaker is designed to produce controlled chips in combination with the trigon geometry, reducing entanglement and supporting reliable surface finishes during turning operations.

Is the insert geometry suitable for heavy cuts?
The trigon 80° form with a 0° negative rake and a 0.8 mm corner radius offers enhanced edge strength, making the insert suitable for medium to heavier duty turning where edge robustness is important.

What identifier should be quoted when ordering or enquiring?
