ADMT120430R-F56 WSM45X — Fräswendeschneidplatte (Parallelogram 85°, 15° clearance) »Walter Tools«

The ADMT120430R-F56 WSM45X is a coated indexable milling insert designed for shoulder and side milling of stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering high cutting-edge stability and reliable chip control

• Coated carbide grade WSM45X for tough materials
• Parallelogram 85° form for shoulder and side milling
• 15° clearance angle for stable cutting edges
• F56 chipbreaker optimised for stainless steel

Long tool life through tailored grade and coating

The WSM45X grade is a coated cemented carbide specifically formulated for machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys. Its composition prioritises heat resistance and stable chip formation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and frequent edge changes. In practice, this means longer intervals between indexing and lower tooling costs per component while maintaining consistent cutting performance under elevated temperatures.

Geometry that improves surface quality and process reliability

The parallelogram 85° form combined with a 15° clearance angle ensures controlled cutting engagement and predictable force direction, which contributes to a more consistent surface finish and reduced vibration in shoulder milling operations. The insert’s corner radius supports a defined cutting edge for transferable feed rates, permitting conservative process windows that favour repeatability and predictable component quality.

Efficient handling and economic operation in production

As an indexable insert, the item simplifies tool management: damaged edges can be rotated instead of replacing the whole cutter, lowering tool inventory costs and minimising machine downtime. The F56 chipbreaker is tuned for secure chip segmentation in ductile, work‑hardening materials, supporting steady chip evacuation and helping to avoid problematic entanglement at high feed rates.

Recommended applications and material guidance

This insert is suitable for applications where stainless steels and high‑temperature alloys demand robust cutting edges and consistent chip control. The design is particularly effective for shoulder milling and side milling operations in production and job‑shop environments where process stability and predictable tool life are decisive for throughput and part quality.
