TCMT110204-FM4 WMP20S – Triangular 60° coated carbide insert (Tiger‑tec Silver) by Walter Tools

TCMT110204-FM4 WMP20S is a triangular, coated carbide indexable insert designed for machining stainless steels under medium to robust cutting conditions

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide for stainless steel
• Triangular 60° insert with 7° relief angle
• Reliable 0.4 mm corner radius for robust finishes
• Suitable for medium to heavy cutting conditions

Greater process reliability in stainless-steel machining

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the tailored WMP20S grade promotes stable chip formation when machining austenitic and other stainless steels. The coated carbide substrate reduces adhesion at the cutting edge, which lowers the tendency for built-up edge and improves repeatability in serial production. For users requiring steady cycle times and fewer unscheduled tool changes, this insert delivers a consistent cutting geometry that translates directly into predictable component quality and less rework.

Consistent surface finish and dimensional control

A 0.4 mm corner radius together with the 7° relief angle provides a balanced cutting edge that absorbs intermittent loads and supports smoother engagement across varying feed rates. The triangular 60° geometry allows multiple index positions and a compact cutting edge suitable for turning and boring operations where a reliable finish is essential. These features reduce vibration sensitivity and assist in maintaining tolerances on turned diameters and faces, which is particularly important for components with tight form and surface requirements.

Improved economy through longer life and higher productivity

The coated grade and chipbreaker FM4 are selected to lower flank wear and improve edge stability under tougher stainless-steel conditions. Improved edge life leads to fewer index changes and lower machine downtime, increasing overall productivity. While not a substitute for correct machining data and coolant strategy, the insert’s design supports more efficient tool utilisation and a reduced tooling footprint in production environments that demand steady throughput and traceable results.

Practical application notes and compatibility

This indexable insert is intended for machining materials classified in ISO group M (stainless steels) and performs best under moderate to robust cutting parameters. The geometry fits standard turning and boring toolholders that accept triangular TCMT-style inserts and benefits from stable clamping and correct cutter head set-up. For selection between grades or to optimise feeds and speeds for specific stainless-steel alloys, technical consultation is recommended to match cutting data to machine capability and part requirements.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for? This insert is formulated for stainless steels (ISO group M); the WMP20S grade and Tiger‑tec Silver coating optimise chip control and edge stability when machining these alloys.

How does the corner radius affect surface quality? A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge that reduces edge chipping and contributes to a more consistent surface finish under variable cutting loads.

Is the insert suitable for both turning and boring operations? Yes, the triangular TCMT geometry and FM4 chipbreaker make the insert suitable for turning and bore-enlargement applications where a compact, indexable cutting edge is required.

What role does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating play? The Tiger‑tec Silver coating improves wear resistance and reduces adhesion on the cutting edge, extending tool life and supporting reliable performance in demanding stainless-steel machining.
