DCGT11T308-FM2 WSM10S – Turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver, 7° relief, Walter Tools

The DCGT11T308-FM2 WSM10S is a rhombic 55° turning insert engineered for reliable machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys in demanding turning operations.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long edge life
• Optimised chipbreaker FM2 for secure chip control
• Rhombic 55° shape with 0.8 mm corner radius

Maximised process reliability for demanding materials

The Tiger·tec Silver series provides a combination of coating technology and substrate properties that increase thermal resistance and reduce flank wear when machining stainless steels and superalloys. This grade supports a stable cutting edge, which means fewer edge failures under the high cutting temperatures typical for these materials. By prioritising thermal and mechanical load resistance, the insert contributes to more predictable cycle times and reduced scrap rates in serial production. For workshop planners this translates into higher process security and less unscheduled tool changeover.

Consistent chip control and predictable surface finish

The integrated FM2 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, controllable chips even under interrupted cuts and high contact temperatures. The rhombic 55° geometry with a 7° clearance and a 0.8 mm corner radius creates a robust cutting line that balances strength and accessibility for finishing passes. The result is a consistent surface finish with repeatable dimensional behaviour; operators benefit from fewer built-up-edge occurrences and easier handling of swarf. The DCGT11T308-FM2 WSM10S is particularly suited where secure chip evacuation and stable cutting forces are required.

Long tool life and efficient handling in production

With a plate thickness of T3 and a standard size 11, the design supports multiple indexations before regrinding or disposal, reducing downtime for replacements. The tolerance class G ensures interchangeability across standard toolholders that accept this ISO designation. Applying an appropriate cutting data sheet for the workpiece material and using the Tiger·tec Silver insert helps extend run‑times and lowers the frequency of tool inventory turnovers. From an operational perspective, fewer tool changes and predictable tool life contribute directly to improved throughput and lower process interruptions.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The DCGT11T308-FM2 WSM10S from Walter Tools is designed for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), providing thermal resistance and edge stability for these materials.

How does the FM2 chipbreaker improve machining?
The FM2 chipbreaker on this insert promotes secure chip formation and short chips under heavy thermal loads, which enhances swarf control and supports repeatable surface finish when turning challenging alloys.

What are the key geometric advantages of the rhombic 55° form?
The rhombic 55° geometry offers versatility for a range of turning operations, combining access for medium‑depth cuts with a robust cutting edge; the 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for tougher feeds.

How many indexations can be expected before replacement?
With a T3 plate thickness and size 11 format the insert supports multiple indexations; actual indexation count depends on cutting conditions and material, but the Tiger·tec Silver grade is formulated to extend usable edge life.
