DCMT11T308-FM6 WSM30S turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver, for stainless steels (M) and superalloys (S) — Walter Tools

DCMT11T308-FM6 WSM30S is a precision indexable turning insert designed for demanding turning tasks on tough-to-machine materials, offering secure seating in rhombic 55° form and optimised chip control for stable machining

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for edge stability
• FM6 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 55° form for secure seating
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine surface finish

Consistent performance under thermal and mechanical load

The combination of the WSM30S coated grade and the Tiger·tec Silver technology delivers significantly improved wear resistance and stable cutting edges when machining heat-resistant materials. This insert is engineered for applications in the ISO material groups M and S, meaning it supports reliable machining of stainless steels and superalloys / titanium. Through its coating and substrate design, cutting-edge protection and predictable flank wear are achieved, reducing the need for frequent index changes and contributing to a stable production rhythm.

Reliable chip control and surface quality for finishing operations

Equipped with the FM6 chipbreaker and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the geometry promotes consistent chip formation and aids in maintaining a smooth surface finish during medium and light cuts. The rhombic 55° insert form provides a secure clamping interface and flexible engagement angles, which helps to balance cutting forces and supports repeatable results. For shops prioritising controllable chip flow and workpiece integrity, this geometry minimises built-up edge tendencies common with austenitic stainless steels.

Practical advantages for workshop efficiency and process security

With a free angle of 7° and tolerance class M, the insert meets stringent repeatability requirements for precision turning. The grade’s behaviour under thermal stress improves process windows for higher cutting speeds where possible, while the coated carbide substrate ensures robustness in interrupted cuts. These technical characteristics translate into measurable production benefits: longer tool life, reduced rework, and a more predictable tool management strategy in mixed-production environments.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The DCMT11T308-FM6 WSM30S insert is optimised for stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium (ISO group S) thanks to the WSM30S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating.

What benefits does the FM6 chipbreaker provide?
The FM6 chipbreaker improves chip control and promotes stable chip formation, reducing the risk of entangling chips and supporting consistent surface finishes when using the DCMT11T308-FM6 WSM30S.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect finish and strength?
A 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce fine surface finishes, making it suitable for finishing and semi-finishing passes with lower cutting forces.

Is the rhombic 55° form suitable for versatile turning tasks?
Yes, the rhombic 55° form offers secure clamping and flexible engagement angles, which supports a wide range of turning operations while maintaining predictable force distribution.
