DCGT11T304-FM2 WSM10S – Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver (stainless steel & titanium) by Walter Tools

The DCGT11T304-FM2 WSM10S is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert from Walter Tools, optimised for machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys including titanium.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated grade WSM10S
• Rhombic 55° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• FM2 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• 7° clearance and T3 plate thickness

High‑performance grade engineered for challenging materials

The WSM10S grade, part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, is a coated carbide solution targeted at tough‑to‑machine materials. Its coating and substrate combination are designed to support secure chip formation and a stable cutting edge when turning austenitic and other stainless steels as well as heat‑resistant alloys. This results in extended tool life and fewer unplanned interruptions, which benefits batch production and longer cycle operations.

Geometry that balances access and surface quality

The rhombic 55° plate form with a 0.4 mm corner radius provides a versatile geometry for a wide range of turning tasks, offering good approach angles and reliable strength at the cutting edge. Combined with the FM2 chipbreaker, the geometry helps produce short, controllable chips and consistent surface finishes on demanding workpiece materials. These characteristics reduce machining risk and support predictable process outcomes.

Robust design for repeatable productivity

With a 7° clearance angle and T3 plate thickness, the insert delivers mechanical stability under moderate to heavy cutting conditions while maintaining accessibility for various toolholders. The tolerance class G ensures dimensional consistency for accurate indexing and repeatable set‑ups. Together, these attributes support higher uptime and simplified tooling management in production environments that require dependable, repeatable performance.

Practical selection and application guidance

The insert is suitable for ISO groups S and M—heat‑resistant superalloys and stainless steels—so selection should align with the workpiece material and machining strategy. The FM2 chipbreaker is intended for stable chip control in these groups; where different chip forms are required, choose an alternative breaker geometry. For any uncertainty about matching insert geometry to a specific turning task, technical consultation is recommended to ensure optimal cutting conditions and tool life.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
The DCGT11T304-FM2 WSM10S is specified for ISO material groups S and M, meaning it is suitable for heat‑resistant superalloys and stainless steels, including many titanium applications.

How does the FM2 chipbreaker influence machining?
The FM2 chipbreaker on the DCGT11T304-FM2 WSM10S promotes secure, short chip formation and stable evacuation, supporting consistent surface quality when working with tough alloys.

What advantages does the rhombic 55° form offer?
A 55° rhombic form provides good cutting edge strength and access in shoulder and facing operations, while enabling versatile tool approach angles for a range of turning tasks.

Why is the 0.4 mm corner radius important?
The 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface finish; it helps absorb intermittent loads while still delivering acceptable finish on components machined from ductile or work‑hardening alloys.

Is this insert coated and what benefit does that provide?
Yes — the insert is part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, a coated carbide solution that improves wear resistance and thermal stability for prolonged cutting performance.
