TCGT090204-FM2 WSM20S – Turning and boring indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The TCGT090204-FM2 WSM20S is a triangular, coated carbide insert designed for turning and boring operations, optimised for machining rostfreiem Stahl and high-temperature alloys with reliable chip formation and enhanced edge stability.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• Optimised for rostfreiem Stahl and superalloys
• 60° triangle shape with 0.4 mm corner radius
• FM2 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

Improved process stability for demanding materials

The combination of a coated carbide substrate with Tiger·tec Silver technology offers measurable benefits when machining tough materials. The coating increases thermal resistance and wear protection, while the WSM20S grade promotes a stable cutting edge under elevated temperatures. For workshops aiming to reduce unplanned downtimes, this results in fewer insert changes and a predictable tool life, which in turn supports leaner process planning and reduced overall machining costs.

Reliable chip control that supports productivity

A focused geometry and the FM2 chipbreaker ensure defined chip formation even in long-chipping alloys. The triangular 60° form and 0.4 mm corner radius provide multiple effective cutting edges per insert, extending service intervals. Controlled chips reduce the risk of rework and machine stoppages, so cycle times remain consistent and throughput improves. The result is efficient swarf management and a safer production environment.

Geometry and clearance that simplify setup

With a 7° clearance angle and a compact plate thickness, the insert suits a variety of toolholders and boring bars without complex adjustments. The standardised TCGT090204-FM2 geometry simplifies tool inventory and setup routines, enabling rapid tool changes and repeatable positioning. Precision in locating and clamping the insert supports consistent part quality across batches, which benefits both small-series and larger production runs.

Material compatibility and application guidance

The grade is specified for the ISO groups M and S, meaning suitability for rostfreiem Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium alloys where cutting temperatures are high and edge stability is critical. The coated composition of WSM20S balances toughness and thermal resistance to avoid edge build-up and premature flank wear. For specific cutting data or when machining novel alloys, consult the technical documentation or request tailored recommendations to match feed and speed to the component requirements.
