CCMT120404-FM4 WSM10S – Turning / boring indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

A CCMT120404-FM4 WSM10S insert engineered for turning and boring operations in challenging alloys and rostfreier Stahl, combining a wear‑resistant coating with a stable cutting geometry.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for improved tool life
• FM4 chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• Rhombic 80° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

Boosted performance on hard-to-machine alloys

The application of Tiger·tec Silver together with the WSM10S grade results in a notably higher resistance to abrasive and thermal wear, which translates into longer intervals between index changes and fewer unscheduled tool interventions. The optimised FM4 chipbreaker encourages stable chip formation, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and promoting steady cutting forces. This brings a clear production advantage when tackling rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant materials where thermal load and workpiece adhesion are common issues.

Geometry that delivers consistent surface quality

The compact rhombic 80° form and 0.4 mm corner radius support secure edge strength while enabling access to typical turning profiles. A 7° relief angle balances sharpness and edge protection, so the insert maintains dimensional control with repeatable surface finish over long runs. The combination of geometry and coating helps to reduce vibration and microchipping, which benefits both cycle time and part quality in serial production.

Lower process costs through reliability and productivity

By favouring stable cutting behaviour and extended tool life, this insert contributes to measurable cost‑efficiency: fewer interruptions for tool changes, less scrap from poor edge stability and a more predictable machining window. The high thermal and wear resistance inherent to the coating and grade supports higher cutting parameters where applicable, improving throughput without compromising component integrity. These factors make the insert a pragmatic choice where productivity and reproducibility are priorities.

Application scope and practical notes

Designed for turning and boring, the insert is suited to workpieces classified in ISO groups S and M—specifically heat‑resistant superalloys, titanium and rostfreier Stahl—where edge stability and heat resistance are required. The insert is offered in the standard rhombic geometry with the FM4 chipbreaker and requires conventional indexable‑insert toolholders matching the CCMT seating. For tooling combinations and parameter windows, consult our technical advisors to match cutting data to the machining centre and workpiece batch size.
