DCGT070202-FM2 WSM01 turning insert — Rhombic 55°, FM2 chipbreaker by Walter Tools

The DCGT070202-FM2 WSM01 is a coated carbide turning insert engineered for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, combining a compact Rhombic 55° form with a fine 0.2 mm corner radius and FM2 chip control for stable cutting in demanding applications.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for improved wear resistance
• WSM01 grade optimised for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• FM2 chipbreaker for predictable chip formation
• Rhombic 55° geometry with 7° clearance angle

Increased productivity when machining tough materials

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver series and the WSM01 grade provides a balance of wear resistance and edge stability that translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions. Designed for hard‑to‑machine alloys and, depending on geometry, rostfreier Stahl, the insert supports higher cutting volumes with consistent performance. The coated carbide substrate ensures improved thermal and mechanical resistance compared with uncoated grades, which directly reduces processing downtime and contributes to a predictable production flow.

Reliable chip control and surface quality in serial production

The FM2 chipbreaker is engineered for stable chip formation under the strains typical of machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant materials. By promoting short, controllable chips, this geometry reduces the risk of surface damage and tool interference, which helps to maintain part tolerances and surface finish during longer production runs. The controlled chip flow also simplifies chip evacuation in automated and semi‑automated turning centres, supporting efficient downstream handling and safer operation.

Geometry and micro‑features tuned for repeatable accuracy

A Rhombic 55° insert form combined with a 7° clearance angle and a 0.2 mm corner radius offers a reliable cutting edge for both finishing and semi‑finishing operations. These geometric parameters provide a favourable balance between cutting strength and access to narrow profiles, while the fine corner radius supports good surface integrity. In practice, this results in repeatable dimensional control and fewer rework cycles in batch production, improving overall process capability.

Suitability and application guidance for workshop integration

Marked for ISO groups M and S, this indexable insert is suited to machining rostfreier Stahl (group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium (group S). The WSM01 coated carbide grade has been developed to handle the adhesion tendencies and thermal challenges of these materials, helping to prevent build‑up on the cutting edge and preserve tool geometry. For tailored performance, match the insert to appropriate toolholders and set conservative start parameters when switching from conventional steels to these demanding alloys.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The DCGT070202-FM2 WSM01 is designed primarily for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), with the WSM01 grade providing thermal and edge stability for these materials.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what benefit does it provide?
The insert uses the FM2 chipbreaker, which delivers predictable short chips and improved evacuation, supporting safer, cleaner turning operations and better surface quality.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver series affect tool life?
The Tiger‑tec Silver series enhances wear resistance and thermal behaviour of the coated carbide, contributing to longer edge life and more consistent cutting performance in demanding applications.

Is the geometry suited for finishing or roughing?
With a Rhombic 55° form and a 0.2 mm corner radius, the insert is suitable for finishing and light semi‑finishing; selection of depth of cut and feed should reflect the workpiece material and machining strategy.
