P4160-2R04-E47 WSM20S Drill/Boring Indexable Insert – Tiger·tec Silver for stainless steels and superalloys | Walter Tools

The P4160-2R04-E47 WSM20S is a coated carbide indexable insert designed for drilling and boring operations, optimised for machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated grade WSM20S
• Engineered for stainless steels and superalloys
• Stable chip formation under heavy cuts
• Consistent cutting‑edge stability

Higher throughput through predictable cutting performance

The Tiger·tec Silver technology in this grade provides a balanced combination of wear resistance and thermal stability, which translates into longer effective tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes. The coated carbide composition of the WSM20S grade is formulated to resist the thermal and adhesive wear common when machining tough, work‑hardening materials. As a result, production cycles become more predictable and setup times are reduced, supporting higher throughput in serial and batch machining.

Secure machining of stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys

Designed specifically for the ISO material groups S and M, the cutting material supports reliable chip control when cutting stainless steels and superalloys. These workpieces typically generate high temperatures and tend to form built‑up edge; the WSM20S grade emphasises heat resistance and a stable cutting edge to counter these effects. The integrated chip geometry improves evacuation under interrupted cuts, reducing the risk of surface damage and improving the repeatability of each bore or hole.

Improved process stability with optimised chip control

The insert is supplied with the 2R04‑E47 chipbreaker, which aids in controlled segmentation of swarf and smooth evacuation even under elevated feed or depth‑of‑cut conditions. Better chip management reduces vibration and helps maintain cutting‑edge stability, which in turn supports consistent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. Where tool changes are costly in terms of downtime, this insert offers a pragmatic way to maintain component quality across extended tool cycles.

Practical advantages for workshop integration

As an indexable insert from a reputable tool family, the component is compatible with common clamping systems used in drilling and boring heads, allowing straightforward retrofitting into existing tool assemblies. The combination of a robust coated grade and purposeful chipbreaker geometry reduces the need for frequent process interventions. For production planners, the outcome is a component that contributes to a stable machining process and fewer unexpected stoppages.
