CCMT060204-FM4 WSM01 turning insert — Rhombus 80°, 0.4 mm radius (Walter Tools)

The CCMT060204-FM4 WSM01 is a coated carbide turning insert designed for secure cutting of stainless steels and high‑temperature superalloys in demanding production environments.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated grade WSM01
• Optimised FM4 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Rhombus 80° geometry, 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting action

Fast, predictable results on tough materials

The coated grade WSM01 from the Tiger‑tec Silver line is engineered for materials that challenge tool life, notably stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys. Its coated carbide formulation improves thermal resistance and reduces the tendency for built‑up edge, which means fewer interruptions and steadier cycle times. For production settings where material toughness and thermal load can vary, this insert supports a consistent machining strategy and helps maintain component quality across batches.

Controlled chips and improved surface consistency

The FM4 chipbreaker is optimised to promote short, manageable chips when turning difficult alloys, reducing the risk of entanglement and rework. Stable chip formation contributes directly to a more uniform surface finish, fewer machine stops and less time spent on manual chip handling. As a result, cycle reliability increases and downstream processes benefit from fewer quality deviations.

Geometry that balances strength and accessibility

The Rhombus 80° form combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle gives a favourable balance between cutting edge strength and access to intricate profiles. This geometry supports repeatable edge engagement and reduced radial force, which in turn lowers the mechanical load on the toolholder and spindle. The compact plate size and industry standard format allow integration into many established tool systems without excessive setup changes.

Versatile fit for standard tooling systems

Designated as ISO CCMT060204‑FM4 WSM01, this indexable insert is compatible with a wide range of turning and boring toolholders that accept rhombic 80° plates. Its 02 thickness and size 06 format make it suitable for stable clamping and simple indexability, enabling quick changeovers in multi‑operation cells. Where process reliability and predictable wear are required, this insert can be specified as part of a tool set aimed at stainless and superalloy programmes.

Production benefits and process alignment

Specifying a grade from the Tiger‑tec Silver series with the FM4 chipbreaker helps align machining parameters with process goals: fewer interruptions, consistent component tolerances and improved throughput. The plate’s tolerance class M reflects machining accuracy suitable for demanding finishes on tough materials. When combined with a matched holder and appropriate cutting data, the insert supports high‑productivity turning with reduced need for corrective interventions.
