TCGT06T104-FM2 WSM01 – Triangle 60° insert, chipbreaker FM2 | Walter Tools Tiger‑tec Silver

A TCGT06T104-FM2 WSM01 indexable insert for boring and turning, engineered for machining stainless steel and high‑temperature superalloys with reliable edge stability.

• Tiger‑tec Silver series grade WSM01
• Coated carbide for extended tool life
• Triangular 60° with corner radius 0.4 mm
• Chipbreaker FM2 for secure chip control

Higher productivity with heat‑resistant grade and coating

The combination of the WSM01 grade and the Tiger‑tec Silver coating provides a balance between heat resistance and wear performance, which increases process reliability when machining demanding alloys. The coated carbide substrate reduces flank wear and delays edge breakdown, leading to longer tool life and fewer interruptions for index changes. For production environments where consistent part quality and repeatability matter, this means less rework and more uptime.

Controlled chips and stable cutting edge for stainless steels

The engineered chipbreaker FM2 promotes predictable chip formation even with tough, adhesive materials such as stainless steel and heat‑resistant alloys. A consistent chip shape reduces the risk of entanglement and protects the workpiece surface, improving surface finish and reducing cycle variability. The modest corner radius 0.4 mm enhances edge strength, allowing stable cutting at moderate depths while maintaining dimensional accuracy.

Practical geometry that reduces tooling costs

The 60° triangular form offers three usable cutting corners per insert, which translates into economical edge utilisation and straightforward indexing during service life. The insert thickness T1 and the defined relief angle 7° balance rigidity and clearance to help control cutting forces and minimise vibrations on typical turning and boring machines. Fewer insert changes and predictable performance contribute directly to reduced tooling expenditure and smoother production planning.

Designed for dependable production results

Built by Walter Tools within the Tiger‑tec Silver family, the insert is intended for repetitive, high‑duty tasks where process stability is essential. Its features support efficient machining of heat‑resistant superalloys and tougher stainless grades, enabling fewer process adjustments and a stable manufacturing rhythm. When combined with suitable cutting parameters and machine stability, the insert helps to maintain throughput without compromising surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WSM01 grade in the TCGT06T104-FM2 WSM01 insert is formulated for stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering thermal stability and improved chip control for these groups.

How does the FM2 chipbreaker improve machining?
The chipbreaker FM2 is designed to produce short, controllable chips with sticky or tough materials; in combination with the Tiger‑tec Silver coating, it helps maintain a stable cutting edge and consistent surface finish.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular 60° geometry provides three usable cutting edges, allowing economical edge rotation and extended service life before replacement.

Is the insert coated and how does that help?
Yes, the insert is coated carbide; the coating improves wear resistance and heat management, which reduces flank wear and supports longer continuous cutting periods.
