SCMT060204-FM20S WMP20S – Indexable Turning Insert, 0.4 mm Corner Radius, 7° Clearance (Walter Tools)

A SCMT060204-FM20S WMP20S indexable insert designed for reliable machining of stainless steel under medium to robust conditions.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated grade WMP20S
• Optimised FM4 chipbreaker for stable cutting
• Square 90° form for versatile turning operations
• 0.4 mm corner radius for consistent surface finish

Consistent chip control for stainless steel machining

The Tiger‑tec Silver-based grade WMP20S delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness tailored for stainless steel. The coated tungsten carbide composition supports stable chip formation, which reduces the risk of built-up edge and improves cycle-time predictability. In practice, this means fewer interruptions for chip clearing and a steadier process window during medium to robust machining tasks.

Precision geometry that protects the cutting edge

With a 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° clearance, the insert geometry is tuned to produce reproducible surface quality while maintaining edge integrity. The FM4 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips that evacuate reliably in typical turning setups, reducing surface damage and machine downtime. The square 90° format offers rigid support and simple indexing for repeatable positioning and efficient tool path planning.

Productivity gains through longer tool life and process security

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WMP20S grade yields improved tool life under thermal and mechanical stress typical of stainless steel workpieces. The indexable insert strategy reduces tooling costs per component by enabling fast re-indexing or replacement without reclamping the holder. For production environments seeking consistent part quality and fewer tool changes, this insert supports higher uptime and easier process standardisation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SCMT060204-FM4 WMP20S insert is formulated for machining stainless steel (material group M) and performs well in medium to robust cutting conditions where stable chip control is required.

How does the FM4 chipbreaker affect cutting performance?
The FM4 chipbreaker ensures reliable fragmentation and evacuation of chips in stainless steel turning, promoting consistent surface finish and reduced tendency for built-up edge when using the WMP20S grade.

Is the 0.4 mm corner radius suitable for finishing passes?
A 0.4 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and surface quality; it is appropriate for many finishing and semi-finishing operations where a robust edge is still required.

Can the insert be used in standard square toolholders?
The square 90° form of the insert is compatible with standard holders designed for SCMT‑type geometries; confirmation with the specific holder manufacturer is recommended for optimal seating and clamping.

What process benefits does the Tiger‑tec Silver technology bring?
Tiger‑tec Silver coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability, which together contribute to longer tool life, improved process security and more consistent part quality in challenging stainless steel operations.
