CCMT060208-FM6 WSM20S — Indexable Turning Insert, Tiger·tec Silver, 0.8 mm Corner Radius (Walter Tools)

The CCMT060208-FM6 WSM20S is an indexable turning insert engineered for demanding metalcutting tasks, especially the machining of stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal resilience
• Optimised for stainless steels and superalloys
• Rhombic 80° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• FM6 chipbreaker and 7° clearance for stable cutting

Sustained cutting performance in heat‑challenging applications

The combination of the WSM20S grade within the Tiger·tec Silver series delivers improved thermal stability and reliable edge retention under elevated temperatures. Coated carbide technology in this grade reduces adhesive wear and supports a controlled running behaviour when machining tough, work‑hardening materials. For production environments where cycle time and reproducibility matter, the coated substrate enables longer tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes, which translates into steadier component quality and reduced process variability.

Geometry that improves tool life and surface outcome

The rhombic 80° form coupled with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle balances strength and accessibility for a wide range of turning operations. The geometry minimises cutting edge stress while allowing stable engagement at varying depths of cut; this reduces the risk of edge chipping and helps to maintain consistent surface finish across a series of parts. For operations requiring improved tool rigidity without sacrificing access to shoulders or grooves, the shape and corner radius support predictable contact mechanics and more uniform results.

Controlled chip formation for safer machining and uptime

Equipped with the FM6 chipbreaker, the insert promotes directed chip formation for safer evacuation and reduced re-cutting. Consistent chip control lowers the probability of built-up edge and secondary operations caused by tangled or long chips. In automated cells or manual lathes alike, stable chip flow supports uninterrupted cycles and reduces the need for downstream cleaning, thereby contributing to higher effective throughput and fewer quality rejects.

Integration into production and handling benefits

As a CCMT‑format indexable insert, this part fits standard toolholders designed for rhombic 80° plates and is straightforward to rotate or replace during planned maintenance. The combination of a coated carbide grade and optimised chip geometry supports predictable tool‑change intervals, simplifying inventory planning and reducing unexpected downtime. For machining programmers and process engineers, the insert provides a reliable baseline for parameter development when working with stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys; further process specifics are available on request from Metav Werkzeuge.
