WNMG080412-MM5 WSM10S — Turning insert, Trigon 80°, 1.2 mm corner radius (Walter Tools)

The WNMG080412-MM5 WSM10S is a trigon 80° indexable turning insert designed for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant alloys where secure chip control and edge stability are essential

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high heat resistance
• WSM10S grade for stable chip formation
• Trigon 80° geometry for secure cutting edges
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust finish

High heat resistance and grade advantages for demanding materials

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating with the WSM10S carbide grade provides enhanced thermal resistance and edge protection when machining rostfreier Stahl and superalloys. The coating reduces built‑up edge and improves wear behaviour at elevated cutting temperatures, while the grade supports consistent chip formation. For users facing high thermal loads, this results in fewer interruptions for insert changes and a more reliable process, directly supporting continuous production.

Geometry and edge design that improve process stability

The Trigon 80° form and the 1.2 mm corner radius deliver a solid cutting geometry that resists edge chipping and produces a consistent surface finish. The insert’s 0° (negative) rake promotes strength at the cutting edge for interrupted cuts or heavier engagement, and the MM5 chipformer helps break and evacuate chips efficiently. Together, these features reduce the risk of built‑up edge and enable stable cutting parameters, which simplifies process setup and reduces scrap rates.

Productivity benefits through reduced downtime and predictable tool life

Reliable chip control and a robust edge mean fewer tool changes and less machine idle time. The insert’s properties support longer life per edge and predictable wear progression, which help to optimise tool change intervals and overall machining costs. For production environments where throughput and repeatability matter, the insert contributes to improved machining efficiency and consistent part quality across batches.

Practical integration and application guidance

The insert is suitable for machining applications in the ISO groups indicated — notably rostfreier Stahl (M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (S) — and is supplied in the standard WNMG form familiar to most turning toolholders. When selecting cutting data, prioritise stable feeds and appropriate cooling strategies for rostfreier Stahl; the insert’s coating and geometry support conventional turning sequences while providing a margin for tougher materials. For tailored recommendations, technical data and batch availability, Metav Werkzeuge’s consultants are available to advise on optimal parameters and holder compatibility.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG080412-MM5 WSM10S insert is intended for rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (ISO group S), using the coating and grade to support secure chip formation and edge stability.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating affect performance?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WSM10S grade increases thermal resistance and reduces built‑up edge, enabling longer cutting times and more consistent wear behaviour when machining demanding materials.

What benefits does the Trigon 80° geometry provide?
Trigon 80° geometry offers strong cutting edges and good access for turning profiles; paired with a 1.2 mm corner radius it enhances edge robustness and contributes to improved surface finish and process reliability.
