CCGT120408-FM2 WSM20S indexable turning/boring insert — Tiger·tec Silver, for rostfreier Stahl and hard-to-machine alloys (Walter Tools)

A CCGT120408-FM2 WSM20S insert designed for heavy-duty turning and boring in rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys, providing robust edge stability and predictable chip formation

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide
• Optimised FM2 chip geometry
• Rhombic 80° form, 0.8 mm nose radius
• 7° relief angle for stable cutting

Durable coating for extended tool life and process consistency

The WSM20S grade from the Tiger·tec Silver family is a coated carbide formulation engineered for applications in rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature alloys. The multilayer coating increases resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear while maintaining flank and crater integrity under elevated cutting temperatures. This results in longer intervals between index changes and fewer unscheduled tool swaps, which supports continuous production and lowers unit costs per component. The combination of coating and carbide substrate emphasises performance over one-off speed gains, favouring predictable tool life in challenging materials.

Geometry that secures surface finish and swarf control

The insert’s Rhombic 80° shape paired with the FM2 chipbreaker provides a controlled breaking pattern and stable cutting forces. A 0.8 mm nose radius balances strength and surface quality for external turning and light profiling, while the 7° relief angle reduces rubbing on the flank face and helps maintain dimensional accuracy. These attributes enable a consistent surface finish and reduce rework rates, making the geometry particularly suitable where component tolerances matter and chip evacuation is critical.

Application guidance for reliable machining results

When machining rostfreier Stahl or superalloys, select cutting parameters that moderate heat generation and support continuous chip evacuation; the insert’s design assists in achieving that balance. The combination of grade and chipbreaker is beneficial for operations that require steady metal removal rather than aggressive finishing passes. Use the CCGT120408-FM2 WSM20S insert in toolholders compatible with Rhombic 80° inserts and monitor edge condition to extend tool life. For specific cutting data and holder recommendations, Metav Werkzeuge can provide tailored guidance based on workpiece geometry and machine capability.

Proven brand technology for consistent shop-floor performance

Walter Tools’ Tiger·tec Silver series and the WSM20S grade are developed to deliver stable cutting edges and reliable chip formation across a broad range of demanding materials. The insert’s fit in tolerance class G supports repeatability in serial production, while the clear specification of form and radius simplifies tool planning and inventory management. Choosing a recognised tool system reduces qualification time and helps maintain process security across batches and operators.
