DCGT11T304-FM2 WSM01 turning insert — Tiger‑tec Silver, FM2 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

The DCGT11T304-FM2 WSM01 is a rhombic 55° indexable insert for turning, designed for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys in demanding production environments

• Tiger‑tec Silver series for consistent edge life
• Optimised FM2 chip control for secure swarf evacuation
• Rhombic 55° form with 0.4 mm corner radius

Reliable performance for stainless and superalloy turning

The WSM01 grade within the Tiger‑tec Silver series delivers a balance of thermal resilience and edge integrity tailored to difficult‑to‑machine materials such as rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys. The coated‑carbide composition promotes stable cutting and reduces the risk of built‑up edge under elevated temperatures. For workshop planners this means fewer tool changes and more predictable cycle times, supporting improved overall equipment effectiveness.

Geometry engineered for chip control and surface quality

The rhombic 55° insert shape combined with the FM2 chipbreaker provides controlled swarf formation and efficient evacuation during interrupted or continuous cuts. The 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between strength and finish: small enough for fine surface quality, yet robust enough to withstand edge loading. The 7° relief angle helps reduce rubbing on the flank face, limiting heat transfer to the cutting edge and aiding repeatable part tolerances.

Proven tool life and consistent productivity

This insert’s design focuses on long tool life and repeatable performance in serial production. The WSM01 grade resists thermal softening and maintains a reliable cutting edge, which contributes to reduced downtime and lower tooling consumption per component. Walter Tools’ engineering emphasis on edge stability and process security supports steady machining results across shifts and operators.

Application notes and holder compatibility

As a turning insert, DCGT11T304‑FM2 WSM01 is suitable for a range of finishing and light roughing operations in materials classified under M and S according to ISO 513: M denotes rostfreier Stahl and S denotes heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium. Selection of appropriate insert holder, cutting speeds and feed rates will depend on the workpiece alloy and part geometry; the FM2 chipbreaker is particularly effective where controlled chip segmentation improves evacuation and surface integrity.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suited to machine?
The DCGT11T304‑FM2 WSM01 insert is specified for rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (ISO group S), reflecting the composition and thermal stability of the WSM01 grade.

What advantage does the FM2 chipbreaker provide?
The FM2 geometry on this Walter Tools insert promotes short, controllable chips and reliable evacuation, reducing the likelihood of tangling and improving surface consistency during both continuous and interrupted cuts.

Is the 0.4 mm corner radius suitable for finishing?
A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with surface finish capability; it is appropriate for many finishing and light roughing operations where a stable edge is required without compromising finish quality.

Can this insert be used for roughing heavy cross sections?
The DCGT11T304‑FM2 WSM01 is optimised for machining difficult materials with emphasis on edge life and chip control; for heavy roughing a larger radius or a specifically designed roughing geometry may be preferable depending on the application.

Which insert holders are compatible with the rhombic 55° form?
Standard turning toolholders for rhombic 55° indexable inserts are suitable; ensure the holder matches the DCGT insert clamping and that orientation supports the required cutting data for rostfreier Stahl or superalloys.
