TCMT110208-FM6 WSM30S Turning Indexable Insert (Triangle 60°, 0.8 mm Radius) – Walter Tools

The TCMT110208-FM6 WSM30S is a triangular turning insert engineered for machining rostfreier Stahl and superalloys, combining the Tiger·tec Silver coating with an FM6 chipbreaker for improved edge stability and chip control.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated grade WSM30S
• Designed for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• FM6 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 7° relief, 0.8 mm corner radius, triangle 60°

High-process reliability for hard-to-machine materials

The combination of the WSM30S cutting grade and the Tiger·tec Silver coating is designed to extend tool life where heat and adhesion threaten performance. In practice, this coated carbide grade is optimised for materials that generate high temperatures and tend to build up on the cutting edge; the coating and substrate pairing reduces flank wear and supports a stable cutting edge under thermal stress. The FM6 chipbreaker contributes to predictable chip shapes, which reduces vibration and keeps cycle times consistent. This results in fewer interruptions and a more reliable production flow when turning rostfreier Stahl or high-temperature alloys.

Measurable machining advantages and technical fit

With a relief angle of 7° and a corner radius of 0.8 mm, the insert balances edge strength and cutting force to support both medium-stock removal and finishing passes. The triangular 60° geometry offers three indexed cutting corners, which improves cost-efficiency per insert by enabling multiple repositions before replacement is required. The FM6 chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip formation in ductile, heat-prone materials, meaning that chip evacuation and surface integrity are improved without sacrificing tool life. These design choices are aimed at delivering repeatable, quantifiable benefits on the shop floor.

Practical benefits for workshop productivity

The insert is supplied in the industry-standard TCMT form factor and is compatible with a wide range of triangular insert holders, simplifying tool-change logistics. Because chip behaviour is stabilised by the FM6 geometry and the coated grade handles thermal loads well, cycle reliability is increased and tool change frequency is reduced. For production environments running rostfreier Stahl and superalloys, this contributes to lower downtime and improved overall equipment effectiveness. The indexable insert format allows quick corner indexing and straightforward inventory management.

Selection guidance and application notes

Tolerance class M and the execution marked as T indicate the insert’s suitability for machining rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and for operations where edge robustness is required. The Tiger·tec Silver series is particularly effective when machining materials that are prone to built-up edge and work hardening; its enhanced adhesion resistance supports longer intervals between interventions. For specific feeds, speeds and insert seat recommendations, consult Metav Werkzeuge to match holder geometry and clamping parameters to the intended operation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TCMT110208-FM6 WSM30S insert is designed primarily for rostfreier Stahl and for heat-resistant superalloys and titanium, offering a grade and coating combination tailored to those material groups.

How does the FM6 chipbreaker help in production?
The FM6 chipbreaker produces short, controllable chips and supports stable cutting forces, which improves chip evacuation and reduces the risk of built-up edge during continuous turning operations.

Which features improve edge life at high temperatures?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WSM30S grade enhances thermal and adhesive resistance, helping to maintain a stable cutting edge and extend tool life under elevated temperatures.

Is this insert compatible with standard triangular holders?
Yes, the TCMT form factor and triangle 60° geometry are compatible with common triangular insert holders; verification of seat angle and clamping style is recommended before fitting.
