DCMT11T302-FM4 WSM10S turning insert, rhombic 55° geometry, Tiger·tec Silver – Walter Tools

The DCMT11T302-FM4 WSM10S is a rhombic 55° turning insert designed for stable cutting in stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys, combining a robust grade and a chipbreaker tuned for secure swarf control.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• WSM10S grade for stainless and superalloys
• Rhombic 55° geometry, 0.2 mm corner radius
• FM4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 7° clearance, T3 plate thickness

Consistent cutting performance for stainless steels and superalloys

The combination of Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WSM10S graded substrate is optimised for materials classified M and S under ISO 513. This composition provides improved heat resistance and stable chip formation, which counteracts typical challenges of stainless steels such as built-up edge and poor thermal conductivity. By choosing this cutting grade, shops achieve repeatable performance and a more predictable tool life even under elevated temperatures.

Geometry and chip control that reduce secondary operations

The rhombic 55° DCMT geometry with a 0.2 mm corner radius and the FM4 chipbreaker deliver precise insert engagement and controlled swarf evacuation. A 7° clearance reduces rubbing at the flank face while the T3 plate thickness maintains rigidity during interrupted cuts. Together, these features reduce the need for corrective passes and support a reliable surface finish, making the insert suitable for both finishing and light semi-finishing operations where dimensional stability is required.

Process economy, repeatability and shop-floor benefits

Using a coated, application-focused grade reduces tool changes and unplanned stoppages, contributing to longer tool life and a consistent surface finish across batches. The insert is compatible with standard indexable turning systems and benefits from the design focus of Walter Tools on stable cutting edges. The result is improved machine uptime and predictable cycle times, supporting higher throughput and efficient material utilisation in serial production.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The DCMT11T302-FM4 WSM10S insert is optimised for stainless steel (M) and for heat-resistant superalloys and titanium (S), reflecting the intended use of the WSM10S grade within the Tiger·tec Silver family.

What advantage does the WSM10S grade offer?
WSM10S, as employed on this Walter Tools insert, provides enhanced thermal stability and reliable edge behaviour, which improves chip control and reduces the risk of built-up edge in difficult-to-machine materials.

How does the FM4 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FM4 chipbreaker is configured to produce short, controllable chips and to support continuous swarf evacuation; this promotes safer machining and reduced interruptions for swarf handling when using this insert.

Is the rhombic 55° geometry suitable for finishing?
Yes, the rhombic 55° form with a 0.2 mm corner radius and T3 thickness offers sufficient rigidity and close cutting engagement for finishing operations that demand consistent surface quality.
