VBMT110308-FM6 WSM10S — Rhombic 35° indexable turning insert for stainless steel and superalloys, Walter Tools

The VBMT110308-FM6 WSM10S is a rhombic 35° indexable turning insert designed for secure, high-performance turning of stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys and titanium, combining a coated carbide grade with a dedicated chip control geometry.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide for durability
• Geometry Rhombic 35° for versatile turning
• FM6 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0.8 mm corner radius and 5° clearance

Higher productivity for difficult-to-cut materials

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM10S grade provides enhanced resistance to thermal and mechanical wear, specifically tailored for stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys. This insert promotes stable chip formation and a consistently maintained cutting edge, reducing the frequency of tool changes and improving uptime. The coated carbide chemistry supports higher cutting temperatures, which results in more consistent component tolerances and a reduced risk of built-up edge when turning tough materials.

Geometry engineered for consistent surface quality

The Rhombic 35° shape, with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 5° clearance angle, gives a balanced cutting geometry that supports good surface finish while maintaining edge strength. The FM6 chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip evacuation under interrupted and continuous cuts, lowering the tendency for snarled or long chips. This geometry makes the insert suitable for a range of turning tasks where a mix of finishing and light roughing is required, delivering repeatable results and predictable tool behaviour.

Process security and application guidance

Designed for industry use, the insert supports machining strategies where workpiece material and process stability are critical. The plate’s coded thickness and size ensure compatibility with standard toolholders in the same family; the specified grade helps to maintain cutting-edge integrity across longer production runs. For customers requiring integration into specific machining cycles or for validation of cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge offers application guidance and can supply sample recommendations based on component material and cycle parameters.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VBMT110308-FM6 WSM10S insert from Walter Tools is specified for stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), making it suitable for challenging, high-temperature materials.

How does the FM6 chipbreaker influence machining?
The FM6 chipbreaker on the VBMT110308-FM6 supports stable chip control and aids safe evacuation of chips during turning, which improves process reliability and surface finish.

What does the 0.8 mm corner radius mean for component finish?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and helps achieve a robust, consistent surface quality while offering compromise between finishing and light roughing operations.

Is the VBMT110308-FM6 compatible with standard toolholders?
The VBMT110308-FM6 WSM10S follows common ISO insert dimensions and fits holders designed for rhombic 35° inserts of the same size and thickness.

Can this insert handle interrupted cuts or heavy cross-feed?
The combination of the WSM10S grade and FM6 chipbreaker improves edge stability and chip control, which supports interrupted cuts better than uncoated or general-purpose grades.
