DCGT070204-FM2 WSM01 turning insert, Tiger‑tec Silver – for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys | Walter Tools

DCGT070204-FM2 WSM01 is an indexable turning insert designed for heavy-duty machining of difficult-to-machine materials, offering a coated carbide grade for stable edge life and repeatable performance

• Tiger‑tec Silver grade WSM01
• Optimised FM2 chipbreaker
• Rhombic 55° geometry
• For rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

Consistent cutting performance with a heat-resistant grade

The WSM01 grade from the Tiger‑tec Silver series is a coated cemented carbide specifically developed for machining rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature alloys. Its coating and substrate combination is tuned to support secure chip formation and a stable cutting edge under high thermal load. This results in fewer interruptions for tool changes, improved process uptime and reduced rework. The choice of a heat-resistant grade minimises edge wear during prolonged contact with abrasive or adhesive workpiece surfaces, translating into measurable productivity gains in series turning operations.

Geometry and chip control that stabilise the cut

The Rhombic 55° plate form, combined with the FM2 chipbreaker, delivers reliable chip control and predictable cutting forces. With a relief angle of 7° and a corner radius 0.4 mm, the insert reduces vibration and supports a consistent surface finish while allowing stable engagement in heavy cuts. The FM2 chipformer is optimised to break and evacuate chips across a range of cutting parameters, lowering the risk of built-up edge formation when machining sticky alloys. Tolerance class G ensures interchangeability and fast insert indexing without compromising alignment accuracy.

Wide application spectrum and practical benefits in production

Intended for ISO groups M and S, this insert covers rostfreier Stahl (stainless steels) as well as heat-resistant superalloys and titanium, offering flexible application across aerospace, energy and medical machining tasks. The coated design aids in temperature management at the cutting zone, supporting extended tool life and consistent dimensional results. For shops seeking to reduce cycle time and scrap rates, the combination of a robust grade and an optimised chipbreaker provides a rational, cost-effective solution: fewer tool changes, steady surface quality and predictable component throughput.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The DCGT070204-FM2 WSM01 is engineered for machining rostfreier Stahl and, depending on geometry, heat-resistant superalloys and titanium as indicated by its ISO M/S suitability.

How does the FM2 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FM2 chipbreaker on this Walter Tools insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing built-up edge and improving surface finish during turning of ductile and heat-prone materials.

What does the WSM01 grade mean for tool life?
WSM01 is a coated carbide grade in the Tiger‑tec Silver family that balances wear resistance and thermal stability, extending tool life in continuous and high-temperature cutting conditions.

Is the Rhombic 55° form suitable for heavy cuts?
Yes, the Rhombic 55° geometry combined with a 7° relief angle provides robust support for the cutting edge, making the insert well suited to heavier feed and depth of cut applications.

Can the insert be indexed without resetting tool offsets?
Tolerance class G ensures consistent dimensions when indexing the insert, enabling quick replacement or rotation with minimal adjustment in most turret systems.
