WNMG080408-MM5 WSM10S — Turning indexable insert, Trigon 80°, Tiger‑tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The WNMG080408-MM5 WSM10S is a trigon indexable insert engineered for demanding turning of stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering a mix of edge stability and thermal resistance for productive workshop use.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM10S
• Trigon 80° geometry for secure engagement
• Chipbreaker MM5 for stable chip control
• Suitable for stainless steels and superalloys

High‑performance grade for difficult materials

The combination of the WSM10S carbide grade and the Tiger‑tec Silver coating targets applications with elevated temperatures and adhesive wear. This engineered coating improves thermal resistance and reduces flank wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes. For operations on austenitic stainless steels and nickel‑base alloys, the grade supports stable chip formation and helps avoid built‑up edge, reducing rework and improving first‑pass yield.

Stable cutting edge and controlled chip behaviour

The integrated chipbreaker MM5 is designed to generate predictable chips under heavy cut conditions, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of entanglement. Combined with the corner radius 0.8 mm and a negative 0° relief, the geometry provides a secure cutting edge for interrupted cuts and tough workpiece materials. These features together reduce vibration and support consistent surface finish, which benefits downstream processes and quality assurance.

Geometry and mounting advantages for productivity

The Trigon 80° form offers effective entry angles for radial engagement and is well suited to a range of turning operations, from roughing to semi‑finishing. The insert’s design and tolerance class M ensure repeatable positioning and reliable seating in standard WNMG toolholders, enabling quick tool changes and minimal setup time. This predictability supports higher machine utilisation and helps maintain cycle‑time targets on batch production.

Application guidance that reduces machining risk

Optimising cut parameters for the given grade and geometry will yield immediate gains: select moderate cutting speeds with adequate coolant for stainless steels, or prioritise edge stability for superalloys where heat dissipation is limited. The insert is particularly suited to components requiring secure chip control and consistent dimensional accuracy, supporting process reliability and reducing scrap rates in serial manufacturing.
