CCMT09T304-FM4 WMP20S – indexable turning insert for stainless steel, Tiger·tec Silver · Walter Tools

CCMT09T304-FM4 WMP20S is a rhombic 80° indexable insert designed for reliable turning of stainless steel under medium to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for improved wear resistance
• Optimised for stainless steel machining
• Rhombic 80° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Chipbreaker FM4 for controlled chip formation

Consistent performance for stainless steel turning

The Tiger·tec Silver surface treatment combined with the WMP20S grade provides a balance between wear resistance and edge stability when machining stainless steel. As a coated carbide insert, it supports reliable chip formation even where material toughness and heat generation are challenges. The combination of coating and substrate helps to extend tool life and reduce the frequency of index changes, improving uptime in repetitive turning operations.

Geometry that secures edge life and dimensional accuracy

The Rhombic 80° form and a 0.4 mm corner radius offer a compromise between a sharp cutting edge and robust support for the insert corner, reducing the risk of chipping in interrupted cuts. A 7° relief angle favours a positive cutting geometry that reduces radial forces and can lower power draw in many turning applications. The insert thickness T3 and size 09 make this part suitable for a wide range of standard toolholder systems while preserving rigidity and heat dissipation at the cutting zone.

Chip control and predictable tool life for productive cycles

Equipped with the FM4 chipbreaker, this indexable insert promotes short, manageable chips when turning stainless steel, which decreases the likelihood of built-up edge and improves surface finish consistency. The grade is specified for medium to robust use, giving a predictable wear pattern across serial production runs. Fewer unexpected tool changes translate directly into higher overall productivity and lower process variability.

Practical integration and process advice

The insert is supplied in the common CCMT format and is compatible with standard CCMT toolholders; its design simplifies inventory management where mixed-material production demands flexibility. For selection of cutting data, holder geometry or to confirm compatibility with a specific machine spindle, consult the technical advisors at Metav Werkzeuge for tailored recommendations based on workpiece material and process parameters.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The CCMT09T304-FM4 WMP20S insert is optimised for stainless steel and is formulated to manage the toughness and heat characteristics typical of those alloys.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver series benefit tool life?
The Tiger·tec Silver technology on the WMP20S grade enhances wear resistance and contributes to stable cutting edges during extended turning cycles with stainless steel.

Which chip form can be expected with the FM4 chipbreaker?
The FM4 chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled, shorter chips suited to turning operations, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface quality.

Is the insert compatible with standard CCMT toolholders?
Yes, this CCMT-format insert fits standard CCMT toolholders; confirm seat and clamping specifications with Metav Werkzeuge for precise holder matching.

What edge radius and relief angle are provided and why do they matter?
The insert features a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle; this combination balances corner strength with favourable cutting geometry for consistent dimensional accuracy.
