DCMT070204-FM4 WSM10S turning insert — Rhombic 55°, 7° clearance — Walter Tools (Tiger·tec Silver)

The DCMT070204-FM4 WSM10S is a coated carbide turning insert designed for reliable machining of stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys in demanding production environments

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide
• Optimised for stainless steels and superalloys
• Rhombic 55° insert with 0.4 mm corner radius
• FM4 chipbreaker for controlled chips

High-performance cutting for difficult materials

The WSM10S grade from the Tiger·tec Silver family combines a coated cemented carbide substrate with an engineered top layer to resist heat and maintain a sharp edge during continuous operation. This makes the insert particularly suitable for ISO group M (stainless steels) and S (heat-resistant superalloys and titanium), where poor thermal conductivity and material toughness demand a coating that supports stable chip formation and reduces the tendency to form built-up edge. The result is increased process reliability and fewer unplanned tool changes.

Predictable chip behaviour and improved surface finish

The FM4 chipbreaker geometry, paired with a Rhombic 55° form and a 0.4 mm corner radius, delivers consistent chip segmentation and evacuation in turning operations. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing on the flank face and helps maintain cutting temperatures within acceptable ranges, which in turn contributes to superior surface quality and reduced rework. Translating geometry and coating into shop-floor benefits: longer uninterrupted cycles and more predictable component tolerances.

Practical integration and measurable productivity gains

The insert follows standard designation coding and is available in size code 07 with thickness code 02, tolerance class M and execution type T, enabling straightforward toolholder compatibility and inventory management. Using this grade can reduce tooling changes and support higher average metal removal rates on challenging materials, improving overall throughput. For process planners, the combination of Tiger·tec Silver technology and the FM4 geometry offers a reliable balance between edge stability and wear resistance, which supports consistent batch-to-batch performance.

FAQ

What materials are best machined with this insert?
The DCMT070204-FM4 WSM10S insert is optimised for ISO group M (rostfreier Stahl / stainless steels) and ISO group S (heat-resistant superalloys and titanium), offering stable cutting when machining tough, heat-resistant materials.

How does the FM4 chipbreaker benefit production?
FM4 geometry promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation; with the DCMT070204-FM4 WSM10S this helps reduce downtime for chip-related issues and improves surface finish consistency.

Can this insert be used in standard toolholders for Rhombic 55° inserts?
Yes, the insert follows common Rhombic 55° form factors and size coding (07), allowing compatibility with standard toolholders designed for DCMT-style inserts.

What does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide in practice?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WSM10S grade improves heat resistance and edge stability, extending tool life during continuous cutting of stainless steels and superalloys.
