DCMT11T308-FW4 WSM10S indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver – Walter Tools

The DCMT11T308-FW4 WSM10S is a rhombic 55° indexable turning insert with a FW4 chipbreaker and high-temperature resistant coating, designed for tough turning tasks on rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• Optimised FW4 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Rhombic 55° form for versatile turning access
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for repeatable surface finish

High-temperature performance for difficult-to-machine materials

The combination of the WSM10S grade and the Tiger·tec Silver coating is engineered for components made from rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys. This coated carbide grade resists thermal softening and maintains a sharp cutting edge under elevated cutting temperatures, which directly improves tool life and reduces unplanned tool changes. For production environments that demand consistent cycle times, the insert’s thermal stability translates into fewer interruptions and a more predictable process window.

Geometry and chip control that support process security

The rhombic 55° insert form and the FW4 chipbreaker provide a balance between robust cutting edge and controlled chip formation. The 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° relief angle help to distribute cutting forces and avoid premature edge failure, while the T3 thickness ensures rigidity in interrupted cuts. These geometric features contribute to a stable cutting behaviour, improving dimensional repeatability and surface quality on turned components even in demanding conditions.

Productivity gains through reduced wear and repeatable results

Using a grade that is optimised for rostfreier Stahl and difficult alloys reduces flank wear and minimises built-up edge formation, resulting in longer intervals between indexings. The insert’s tolerance class M ensures consistent seat fit and repeatability in toolholders, which lowers downtime associated with setup and offsets. For batch production, these attributes lead to measurable productivity improvements and cost efficiency over tool life while supporting higher process reliability.

Practical selection and application notes for tooling systems

When selecting tooling, match the insert geometry and chipbreaker FW4 to the machining strategy: heavier depths of cut and tougher alloys benefit from the robust edge and chip control, while finishing passes can exploit the 0.8 mm radius for improved surface roughness. The insert is delivered in the DCMT11T308-FW4 designation with grade WSM10S, suitable for turners working with rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature materials; consult toolholder compatibility charts for seat style and clamping recommendations. For specific machining parameters and to optimise cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors are available to provide tailored recommendations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The DCMT11T308-FW4 WSM10S insert is designed for rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), offering thermal stability and reliable chip control.

How does the FW4 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FW4 chipbreaker on the DCMT11T308-FW4 promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving process security and reducing the risk of built-up edge when machining rostfreier Stahl.

What benefits does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
Tiger·tec Silver increases heat resistance and wear protection for the WSM10S grade, resulting in longer tool life and more consistent cutting performance under elevated temperatures.

Is this insert suitable for finishing operations?
Yes; the 0.8 mm corner radius and rhombic 55° geometry support finishing passes that require good surface quality, provided the cutting data are adapted for the material and operation.

Which tolerance class does the insert have and why does it matter?
The insert is manufactured to tolerance class M, which ensures accurate seating in the toolholder and contributes to repeatable tool positions and dimensional consistency in production.
