WNMG080412-RM5 WSM30S — Trigon 80° turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

WNMG080412-RM5 WSM30S is a coated turning insert for demanding applications in stainless steel and high‑temperature alloys, offering reliable chip control and a strong cutting edge.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal stability
• Designed for stainless steel and superalloys
• RM5 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Trigon 80° form with 1.2 mm corner radius

High performance for demanding materials

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver technology and a coated carbide substrate delivers improved wear resistance and thermal stability during continuous operation. This insert is optimised for machining stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys (material groups M and S), where heat generation and work‑hardening are typical challenges. The result is a more predictable tool life and fewer interruptions in the machining sequence, which supports higher throughput and reduced downtime.

Secure chip formation and surface quality

Equipped with the RM5 chipbreaker, the insert ensures consistent chip control across a range of cutting conditions. Stable chip formation reduces the risk of built‑up edge and helps to preserve the cutting edge, contributing to a consistent surface finish on the workpiece. The Trigon 80° geometry and 1.2 mm corner radius provide a robust edge that withstands intermittent cuts and contributes to a repeatable, high‑quality result in serial production.

Geometry tailored for process reliability

The negative rake (0°) configuration increases edge strength for tougher machining operations, while the tolerance class M ensures reproducible dimensions for accurate tool setting and predictable toolholder fit. These characteristics make the insert especially suitable for industrial turning where process security and repeatability are priorities. Operators benefit from fewer adjustments and a straightforward integration into established turning cycles.

Ease of selection and practical advantages

As part of the Tiger·tec Silver series, this insert is available in a widely used WNMG080412-RM5 format, compatible with standard toolholders that accept Trigon 80° inserts. The clear material grading (S / M) and the visible chipbreaker designation simplify grade selection for applications involving stainless steel or titanium‑based alloys. The combination of coating, chip control and geometry supports a cost‑effective balance between productivity and tool life in industrial turning.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG080412-RM5 WSM30S insert from Walter Tools is designed for stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (material groups M and S) as indicated by the Tiger·tec Silver grade.

How does the RM5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The RM5 chipbreaker on this turning insert promotes controlled chip formation and reduces the likelihood of built‑up edge, helping to maintain surface quality and extend the life of the cutting edge.

What is the significance of the 0° (negative) free angle?
The negative 0° free angle increases edge strength for interrupted or demanding cuts, delivering greater resistance to mechanical load and thermal stress during heavy machining.

Can this insert be used with standard Trigon toolholders?
Yes — the Trigon 80° form and the WNMG080412 designation correspond to commonly used holders for triangular inserts, facilitating integration into standard turning setups.

What benefits does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating enhances thermal resistance and wear protection, which supports stable performance when machining materials that generate high temperatures, such as stainless steel and superalloys.
