• 7° clearance and T3 plate thickness

Reliable machining on difficult-to-cut materials

The combination of the WSM01 cutting grade and the Tiger‑tec Silver series provides a high level of process security when machining tough materials. Coated carbide technology supports stable chip formation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and thermal softening during sustained cuts. For production environments handling rostfreiem Stahl and hot-work alloys, the insert’s geometry and grade work together to keep machining consistent and predictable, which reduces unplanned tool changes and improves component throughput.

Predictable chip control and longer tool life

The MN2 chipbreaker is optimised for secure, continuous chip separation in sticky or work-hardening materials. By shaping the chip flow and controlling its segmentation, the chipbreaker reduces the chance of entanglement and improves surface finish. This in turn contributes to longer tool life and fewer interruptions on the shop floor. The coated-carbide chemistry of the grade supports a durable cutting edge, balancing wear resistance with toughness for repeated performance across medium- to heavy-duty turning tasks.

Geometry engineered for strength and surface quality

A square 90° plate form with a 0.8 mm corner radius offers enhanced edge strength for general turning operations while enabling acceptable surface finishes on radiused and flat features. The 7° clearance angle reduces flank contact and thermal loading, helping to avoid rubbing and minimise chatter. With a T3 plate thickness, the insert provides mechanical stability in a wide range of toolholder styles and lathe setups, simplifying clamping and set-up procedures for production-focused environments.

Practical suitability and industrial benefits

Designed with ISO groups M and S in mind, the insert is suitable for stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys, including many aerospace and energy-sector alloys where thermal resistance and edge integrity are critical. The robust edge geometry and coating synergy mean fewer tool changes, consistent surface quality and improved process reliability. For workshops aiming to increase uptime and reproducibility, this type of insert supports leaner production cycles and measurable efficiency gains.

FAQ

What materials is this insert recommended for?
The SCGT09T308-MN2 WSM01 insert is recommended primarily for stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), where its grade and chipbreaker provide reliable performance.

How does the MN2 chipbreaker improve machining?
The MN2 chipbreaker shapes and segments chips for controlled evacuation, which reduces entanglement, improves surface finish and contributes to extended insert life in demanding cuts.

Is the insert compatible with standard SCGT toolholders?
Yes, the SCGT09T308-MN2 format conforms to the SCGT form and is compatible with standard toolholders designed for SCGT-style square 90° inserts.

What benefit does the 0.8 mm corner radius offer?
A 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and finish capability, providing robustness for heavier cuts while still achieving acceptable surface quality on turned features.

Does the Tiger‑tec Silver series include a coating?
Tiger‑tec Silver denotes a coated-carbide solution; combined with the WSM01 grade, it enhances wear resistance and supports thermal stability at the cutting edge.
