CCMT060204-FM4 WSM10S indexable insert – Walter Tools, Tiger-tec Silver, for stainless steel and superalloys

CCMT060204-FM4 WSM10S as a high-performance indexable insert for turning and drilling-related applications, designed for heavy-duty cutting of stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys.

• Tiger-tec Silver coating for heat resistance and edge stability
• Optimised FM4 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Rhombic 80° geometry with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Suitable for stainless steel and superalloys

High productivity where heat and adhesion are critical

The Tiger-tec Silver coating combined with the WSM10S grade delivers improved temperature resistance and reduced adhesive wear, which is essential when machining stainless steel and other sticky materials. The coated carbide composition is engineered to maintain a stable cutting edge under thermal load, lowering the risk of built-up edge and enabling reproducible cycle times. This results in more consistent surface quality and extended tool life compared with uncoated grades, supporting efficient batch production and predictable machining cycles.

Geometry and chip control that reduce interruptions

The insert’s FM4 chipbreaker and rhombic 80° form are tuned to produce short, controllable chips in demanding materials. A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and cutting forces, which helps to avoid premature edge chipping while keeping cutting loads moderate. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing on the flank face and supports smooth entry and exit behaviour during interrupted cuts. Together, these features lower the likelihood of process stoppages and enable steady metal removal rates.

Practical use and material suitability explained

This indexable insert is specified for applications where ductility and heat sensitivity of the workpiece require a robust grade: primarily stainless steel (ISO group M) and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium alloys (ISO group S). The combination of grade and geometry supports secure chip formation and stable cutting edges even at elevated cutting temperatures. For workshop planners, the format and designation indicate compatibility with toolholders that accept CCMT-shaped inserts (size 06, thickness 02); the insert is particularly suitable for finishing to medium-depth roughing passes where surface integrity and tool life are priorities.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The CCMT060204-FM4 WSM10S insert is designed primarily for stainless steel (ISO group M) and for heat-resistant superalloys and titanium (ISO group S), offering secure chip formation and edge stability under thermal load.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what benefit does it bring?
This insert features the FM4 chipbreaker; it provides consistent chip control and reduced risk of entanglement when machining ductile and temperature-sensitive materials with the CCMT060204-FM4 WSM10S geometry.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius mean in practice?
A 0.4 mm corner radius on the CCMT060204-FM4 WSM10S balances edge strength and cutting forces, improving resistance to chipping while supporting good surface finish in finishing and medium-roughing passes.

Is this insert compatible with standard CCMT toolholders?
Yes, the CCMT060204-FM4 WSM10S follows the CCMT-form specification (size 06, thickness 02) and fits holders designed for CCMT indexable inserts.

How does the Tiger-tec Silver series affect tool life?
The Tiger-tec Silver technology in the WSM10S grade enhances thermal stability and wear resistance, which typically extends effective tool life and supports constant machining performance on stainless steel and demanding alloys.
