P4160-2L08-E47 WSM20S drill/reaming indexable insert – Tiger·tec Silver, for rostfreier Stahl & superalloys (Walter Tools)

The P4160-2L08-E47 WSM20S is a drill/reaming indexable insert developed for demanding CNC operations, offering reliable chip control and cutting-edge coating technology for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for enhanced wear resistance
• WSM20S grade for rostfreie and superalloy machining
• Stable chip formation and robust cutting edge
• Designed for productive drilling and reaming cycles

Consistent chip control for demanding materials

The combination of the 2L08-E47 chipbreaker geometry and the WSM20S carbide grade delivers controlled chip breaking and reduced tendency for built‑up edge when machining rostfreier Stahl and similar tough alloys. This results in a predictable cutting process and fewer interruptions for chip clearance. The insert’s geometry is tuned to support continuous drilling and reaming cycles, which translates into improved cycle times and higher process reliability without requiring complex parameter adjustments.

Coating and grade engineered for extended tool life

The application of Tiger·tec Silver provides a thermally stable coating that reduces flank and crater wear under elevated cutting temperatures common with superalloys and stainless materials. As a coated carbide grade, WSM20S balances hardness and toughness to protect the cutting edge against abrasion while maintaining edge stability. The net effect is longer intervals between index changes and a measurable reduction in tooling-related downtime, supporting a more economical production flow.

Integration into productive machining systems

As a drill/reaming indexable insert, the component is compatible with standard toolholders and fixtures used in high‑volume CNC centres. Its design supports predictable tool life and consistent hole quality, contributing to productive machining and improved first‑pass accuracy. Specifying this insert for operations in which thermal loading and material toughness challenge conventional grades enhances process security and helps maintain surface integrity in finished components.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined with this insert?
The P4160-2L08-E47 WSM20S insert from Walter Tools is optimised for rostfreier Stahl (material group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium (material group S), offering secure chip formation in those ISO‑defined groups.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating increases thermal stability and reduces wear at elevated cutting temperatures, which helps the insert maintain edge integrity and extend service life during continuous drilling and reaming operations.

What is the role of the 2L08‑E47 chipbreaker?
The 2L08‑E47 chipbreaker geometry is engineered for controlled chip segmentation and evacuation in deep or interrupted drilling cycles, improving process consistency and reducing the risk of built‑up edge.

Is the grade WSM20S a solid carbide or coated grade?
WSM20S is a coated carbide grade within the Tiger·tec Silver family, combining a protective coating with a carbide substrate to balance wear resistance and toughness.

How does this insert contribute to machining productivity?
By enhancing chip control and offering a thermally resilient coating, the insert reduces index changes and tooling downtime, supporting longer uninterrupted runs and more consistent hole quality.
