VBGT110302-FL2 WSM01 — indexable turning insert, coated carbide, rhombic 35° (Walter Tools)

The VBGT110302-FL2 WSM01 is a coated carbide turning insert developed for robust machining of stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, delivering reliable chip control in demanding turning operations.

• Tiger‑tec Silver series coated carbide
• For stainless steels and superalloys
• Rhombic 35° geometry, 5° clearance
• FL2 chipbreaker, 0.2 mm nose radius

Productive machining for demanding materials

The WSM01 grade within the Tiger‑tec Silver family is a coated carbide solution optimised for tough-to-cut groups defined by ISO. Designed to manage the high temperatures and adhesive tendencies of stainless steels and the poor thermal conductivity of superalloys, the insert supports stable cutting edge performance and extended tool life. The coated surface reduces wear rates while maintaining cutting-edge integrity, which helps to lower process costs through fewer tool changes and more predictable component quality.

Geometry that secures surface finish and chip control

The insert’s rhombic 35° outline and 5° clearance produce an effective cutting geometry that balances strength and accessibility in confined tool holders. The 0.2 mm nose radius contributes to improved surface finish without sacrificing robustness at the cutting edge, while the FL2 chipbreaker is tuned to generate short, controllable chips under a range of cutting conditions. Together these features reduce vibration, support consistent material removal and make it easier to achieve repeatable tolerances in serial production.

Application guidance and process integration

Marked for ISO groups S and M, this grade is suitable for machining demanding alloys and stainless steels in medium to finishing operations where process security and surface quality are priorities. The insert’s tolerance class G and standard indexable format simplify inventory management and tool setup in mixed-production environments.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited to machine?
The insert is designed for machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO M and S) in demanding turning applications; the WSM01 grade supports secure chip formation and edge stability.

How does the FL2 chipbreaker affect performance?
The FL2 chipbreaker produces short, controlled chips and reduces the risk of long, entangling swarf, improving process reliability when using the VBGT110302-FL2 WSM01 insert.

Which operations benefit most from this insert geometry?
The rhombic 35° form with 0.2 mm nose radius and 5° clearance is particularly useful for medium to finishing turning where surface quality and dimensional repeatability are required.

Is the insert part of a recognised series or coating family?
Yes, the insert belongs to the Tiger‑tec Silver series and uses a coated carbide grade WSM01 formulated for high process security and stable performance.
