CCMT09T304-FW4 WSM30S rhombic 80° turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver — Walter Tools

The CCMT09T304-FW4 WSM30S is a rhombic 80° indexable insert with a FW4 chipbreaker, designed for heavy duty machining of stainless steels and difficult‑to‑cut superalloys in industrial turning applications.

Tiger·tec Silver coating for wear resistance
Optimised for stainless steel and superalloys
Rhombic 80° geometry with 0.4 mm radius
FW4 chipbreaker for consistent chip control

Improved process reliability for tough materials

The combination of the WSM30S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating is engineered to resist the thermal and mechanical loads typical of machining stainless steels and superalloys. This results in stable cutting edges and reduced flank wear over successive passes, which directly improves component consistency and reduces unexpected tool changes. For production environments where downtime and scrap cost are critical, the insert’s composition supports a predictable tool life and repeatable results.

Consistent chip control for cleaner finishes

The FW4 chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation even under adverse cutting conditions, which helps prevent chip entanglement and improves surface integrity. Controlled chips also reduce secondary operations and aid automatic chip evacuation in CNC lathes. The outcome is a better surface finish and fewer interruptions in the machining cycle, supporting higher throughput and reduced rework.

Geometry that balances strength and precision

With a rhombic 80° form and a 0.4 mm corner radius, this insert provides a robust cutting edge while still enabling precise profile work and reliable corner performance. The 7° clearance angle supports effective cutting without excessive rubbing, and the insert thickness (T3) contributes to rigidity in the toolholder. Together, these design choices ensure an appropriate compromise between component accuracy and the mechanical demands of heavier cuts.

Practical benefits for workshop integration

The insert’s ISO designation CCMT09T304‑FW4 simplifies selection for tooling systems and reduces set‑up time when matching inserts to holders. Its suitability for ISO material groups M (stainless steels) and S (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium) means fewer grade changes across mixed batches, improving inventory efficiency. As part of Walter Tools’ Tiger·tec Silver family, the cutting grade is intended to deliver reproducible performance and easier process standardisation across series of parts.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suited for?
The CCMT09T304‑FW4 WSM30S insert from Walter Tools is specifically formulated for stainless steels (ISO group M) and is also suitable for difficult‑to‑cut superalloys and titanium (ISO group S).

What benefit does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WSM30S grade increases heat and wear resistance, leading to improved edge stability and longer service life in demanding turning operations.

How does the FW4 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FW4 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which enhances surface finish quality and reduces the risk of chip‑related interruptions during automated turning.

Is the 0.4 mm corner radius suitable for finishing operations?
A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to achieve fine surface finishes; it is suitable for semi‑finish and many finishing passes depending on component geometry.

Can this insert be used across mixed production batches?
Yes — the WSM30S grade’s suitability for ISO groups M and S supports a wider range of materials, helping to streamline tooling choices across varied production requirements.
