VBMT110304-FM6 WSM30S — indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

A VBMT110304-FM6 WSM30S indexable turning insert engineered for demanding turning tasks in stainless steels and superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver for thermal stability and wear resistance
• Rhombus 35° geometry for versatile turning applications
• FM6 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 0.4 mm nose radius for consistent edge strength

Optimised for difficult-to-machine materials

The insert’s core advantage is the Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM30S, developed for machining stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium (ISO group S). The coating and substrate combination enhances thermal stability and reduces flank wear under high cutting temperatures, which results in longer tool life and fewer interruptions. For production environments where consistent component tolerances and surface finish matter, this turning grade supports predictable performance and lower total machining cost per part.

Consistent chip formation and process reliability

The FM6 chipbreaker and the insert’s Rhombus 35° form aim to control chip flow and reduce the risk of built-up edge during intermittent or continuous cuts. Controlled chip formation improves coolant access and reduces tool nose damage, translating into steadier cycle times and less rework. The specified 0.4 mm nose radius balances strength and fine finish capability; where a sharper edge would fail prematurely, this radius sustains edge integrity while still permitting acceptable surface finishes on turned components.

Practical benefits for shopfloor application

Geometry and tolerance class M ensure interchangeability and repeatable setup in toolholders designed for VBMT‑type inserts. The combination of a robust coated grade and a proven chipbreaker supports higher cutting parameters on appropriate machines, increasing throughput without sacrificing part quality. For process planning, consider optimising speeds and feeds for the given material group (M or S) and validating results on representative workpieces; the insert’s characteristics favour both roughing passes with stable edges and finishing passes where surface quality is required.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The VBMT110304-FM6 WSM30S is specified for stainless steels (ISO M) and for heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium (ISO S), benefitting from the Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide for thermal and wear resistance.

How does the FM6 chipbreaker influence machining?
The FM6 chipbreaker on this indexable insert produces controlled chips and improves chip evacuation, which supports longer tool life and steadier cutting conditions in turning operations.

Can this insert be used for finishing as well as roughing?
Yes; the 0.4 mm nose radius provides a balance between edge strength for roughing and the capability to achieve good surface finishes during finishing passes when combined with appropriate cutting parameters.

Which insert geometry and tolerance class are provided?
This insert features a Rhombus 35° geometry with a tolerance class M, ensuring repeatable mounting accuracy and reliable performance in standard VBMT toolholders.
