CCMT120408-FM6 WSM30S — Rhombic 80° turning insert for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys by Walter Tools

CCMT120408-FM6 WSM30S is a rhombic turning insert designed for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys in demanding production environments

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high wear resistance
• Optimised FM6 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature alloys
• Rhombic 80° geometry for versatile turning

High edge stability for demanding materials

The CCMT120408-FM6 WSM30S insert combines the Tiger·tec Silver coating with a WSM30S coated-carbide grade to deliver consistent wear resistance under thermal and mechanical load. This combination is particularly effective when machining rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys: the coating reduces adhesion and abrasive wear, while the substrate maintains toughness to resist chipping. For production, this means fewer unexpected tool changes and steadier component quality over long runs, supporting predictable cycle times and improved overall equipment effectiveness.

Consistent chip control that improves process reliability

Equipped with the FM6 chipbreaker and a Rhombic 80° form, the insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation even in sticky or work-hardening materials. The chip geometry helps avoid build-up on the cutting edge, reducing the risk of surface defects and tool damage. In practice, better chip control contributes to steady cutting forces and repeatable part geometry, which supports higher feed rates and stable productivity without compromising finish or dimensional accuracy.

Geometry and dimensions that simplify tool selection

The insert’s dimensions — inscribed circle 12, thickness 04 and corner radius 0.8 mm — together with a 7° relief angle suit a wide range of turning tasks from light finishing to medium roughing. These specifications help define the load per edge and the achievable surface quality: a 0.8 mm radius gives a good compromise between edge strength and surface finish. For users less familiar with insert codes, the CCMT form identifies the chip pocket and clamping compatibility, reducing setup time and the need for frequent trial cuts.

Designed for productive machining and tool longevity

Walter Tools’ engineering focus on material pairing and coating technology means the insert is intended for productive machining of challenging alloys with reduced downtime. The WSM30S grade is chosen for its balance of toughness and heat resistance, while the Tiger·tec Silver coating enhances surface protection and thermal stability. The result is improved tool life and consistent cutting-edge behaviour, which can contribute to lower tooling costs per component and greater confidence in meeting batch tolerances.
