DCGT070202-MN2 WSM01 turning insert by Walter Tools — Tiger‑tec Silver, for stainless steels and superalloys

The DCGT070202-MN2 WSM01 is a rhombic 55° turning insert designed for productive machining of stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys, offering reliable edge life and controlled chip formation.

• Tiger‑tec Silver grade WSM01
• MN2 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Rhombic 55° form for versatile turning
• Corner radius 0.2 mm for fine finishes

Increased process reliability for demanding materials

The high-performance Tiger‑tec Silver series combined with the WSM01 coated carbide grade delivers consistent wear resistance and thermal stability during heavy-duty turning. The MN2 chipbreaker promotes secure chip control when machining tough materials, reducing the risk of built-up edge and heat concentration. This translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions for regrinding, which benefits batch production and hard-to-machine components in aerospace or energy sectors. The design focusses on measurable improvements in productivity and repeatability rather than marketing claims, so toolrooms can expect predictable cutting performance under elevated cutting temperatures.

Geometry tuned for consistent surface quality and dimensional control

The rhombic 55° geometry and corner radius 0.2 mm provide a balanced combination of strength at the cutting edge and the ability to produce fine surface finishes. A 7° free angle reduces rubbing on the flank, which helps to maintain workpiece tolerance and surface integrity when turning materials that are prone to work hardening. The insert’s tolerance class G ensures consistent fit in precision toolholders, supporting stable cutting conditions and reducing vibration. These geometric parameters are particularly useful when tight dimensional control is required alongside efficient material removal.

Practical advantages that support workshop productivity

The compact size code 07 and thickness code 02 simplify inventory management and compatibility checks with common toolholders, while the coated substrate reduces maintenance intervals. The insert’s suitability for stainless steels (M) and superalloys/titanium (S) broadens its application range across toolmaking, medical, and high-temperature components, enabling fewer tool changes and more flexible machining schedules. By focusing on proven technical details such as chip control and edge stability, the insert supports both one-off precision jobs and higher-volume production runs, improving overall shopfloor throughput and reducing unplanned downtime.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The DCGT070202-MN2 WSM01 insert is specified for stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), matching the WSM01 grade and Tiger‑tec Silver series design.

How does the MN2 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MN2 chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation and evacuation when cutting ductile or high-temperature alloys, which reduces tendency to form built-up edge and helps maintain consistent surface quality.

What does the rhombic 55° form mean in practice?
A rhombic 55° insert offers versatility for both finishing and light roughing, giving good access to shoulders and allowing multiple cutting-edge orientations in a standard turning toolholder.

Is the corner radius suitable for fine finishing operations?
The corner radius 0.2 mm is intended for fine to medium finishing, balancing edge strength with the ability to achieve improved surface finishes on critical components.

What tolerance and fit can be expected from this insert?
Tolerance class G indicates consistent manufacturing precision, ensuring reliable seating in the holder and predictable repeatability for serial production.
