DCGT11T304-FL2 WSM01 WSM01 Wendeplatten - Walter Tools

High-performance turning results from the combination of a heat-resistant grade and a wear‑resistant coating: the WSM01 grade in the Tiger‑tec Silver series provides reliable edge stability for stainless steels and superalloys, while the FL2 chipbreaker and a shallow 7° clearance promote controlled chip formation and reduced cutting forces.

DCGT11T304-FL2 WSM01 — Turning insert, FL2 chipbreaker, 7° clearance | Walter Tools

The DCGT11T304-FL2 WSM01 is a rhombic 55° turning insert developed for machining stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys, optimised for stable chip control and reproducible surface finish.

*Tiger‑tec Silver series coating for durability *WSM01 grade for stainless and superalloys *FL2 chipbreaker for stable chip formation *0.4 mm corner radius for precise finish

Reliable cutting in difficult materials for steady production

The Tiger‑tec Silver series, combined with the WSM01 grade, is formulated for demanding materials that generate heat and strain the cutting edge. The insert’s construction—coated cemented carbide—enhances wear resistance and supports consistent cutting conditions when machining stainless steel and nickel‑based alloys. By promoting a stable cutting edge and predictable wear behaviour, the tool contributes to fewer interruptions in the production flow and improved process repeatability.

Controlled chip formation and secure cutting mechanics

The integrated FL2 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, manageable chips under a wide range of cutting parameters, reducing the risk of entanglement and downtimes. The modest 7° clearance angle lowers the contact area on the flank face, decreasing cutting forces and heat generation, while the 0.4 mm corner radius supports edge strength without compromising dimensional accuracy. These features together provide dependable chip control and help to maintain tool life under challenging cutting regimes.

Geometry and surface quality for accurate turning operations

Rhombus 55° geometry delivers a versatile cutting orientation suitable for facing and light profiling, with the 11 mm size and T3 thickness offering a balance of rigidity and accessibility in confined toolholders. The combination of geometry and grade supports consistent surface integrity and repeatable part tolerances, making the insert well suited to batch production where surface finish and reproducibility carry particular importance.

Process security, economy and application scope

With an emphasis on process stability, the grade’s thermal and mechanical properties make the insert applicable to stainless steel (ISO group M) and to heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium (ISO group S). This targeted suitability reduces the need for multiple tool types across similar applications, supporting economical tooling strategies and streamlined inventory management while maintaining high productivity and component quality.
