VBGT110304-FL2 WSM01 indexable turning insert, rhombic 35°, 5° relief — Walter Tools

VBGT110304-FL2 WSM01 is an indexable turning insert designed for demanding machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant alloys, offering a balance of edge stability and controlled chip formation

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM01
• Optimised chip control with FL2 chipbreaker
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 35° form with 5° relief

Durable grade for high‑temperature and tough alloys

The WSM01 grade from the Tiger‑tec Silver series is a coated carbide formulation developed for machining challenging materials. Its composition prioritises heat resistance and stable edge behaviour, which helps to reduce build‑up and extend tool life when working with rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys. This results in fewer tool changes, more consistent component quality and a predictable process window, which is particularly valuable in production environments where downtime carries high cost.

Geometry that supports precise, repeatable turning

The rhombic 35° insert form paired with a 5° relief angle creates an effective compromise between approach angle and edge strength. The corner radius 0.4 mm helps to produce a good surface finish while maintaining cutting edge stability in interrupted cuts or varying engagement conditions. The insert size (11) and thickness code (03) provide a compact, robust working geometry that suits a wide range of turning tasks from light finishing to moderate cutting depths, enabling consistent part tolerances across batches.

Chip control and process efficiency with FL2

The FL2 chipbreaker is engineered to promote short, controllable chips when cutting ductile and heat‑resistant materials, reducing the risk of entanglement and machine stoppages. Improved chip formation contributes directly to higher effective machining time and better surface integrity on the workpiece. In practice, this means more efficient cycle times and fewer production interruptions, so the operation benefits immediately from the insert’s optimised shape and coating.

Practical integration and handling in the workshop

The insert is intended for standard clamping into compatible turning toolholders and is designed to be indexed as each corner is used, supporting economical tooling strategies. Given the insert’s focus on rostfreier Stahl and superalloys, tool path planning and coolant strategy should be adapted to the workpiece material to exploit the grade’s heat‑tolerant properties. For detailed application settings and to ensure the best match with existing holders, Metav Werkzeuge can provide targeted recommendations and machining data on request.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed to machine?
The VBGT110304‑FL2 WSM01 insert is optimised for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), delivering stable cutting behaviour on challenging materials.

How does the FL2 chipbreaker affect performance?
The FL2 chipbreaker promotes short, manageable chips and supports consistent surface quality; with the WSM01 grade, this combination reduces built‑up edge and machine interruptions.

Which geometry advantages does the rhombic 35° offer?
The rhombic 35° form provides a versatile cutting angle that balances strength and accessibility, suited for a range of turning tasks and helping to maintain dimensional consistency.

Is the insert suitable for finishing operations?
Yes; the 0.4 mm corner radius and the coated carbide grade support good surface finishes in many finishing scenarios, provided feeds and speeds are adapted to the workpiece material.

How should the insert be clamped and indexed?
The insert is intended for use in standard turning toolholders supporting VBGT‑style inserts. Indexing the corners extends service life and improves cost efficiency.
