VCGT110301-FM2 WSM20S – Turning indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

VCGT110301-FM2 WSM20S is a turning indexable insert designed for machining stainless steel and heat‑resistant alloys in robust production environments

• Tiger·tec Silver coated for thermal stability
• FM2 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting action

Consistent productivity when machining difficult materials

The coated carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Silver family is engineered for stable cutting under high thermal load. The combination of a wear‑resistant coating and a robust substrate reduces flank and crater wear, which translates directly into longer tool life and fewer insert changes. For components made from stainless steel or superalloys, this means a more predictable process window and reduced cycle interruptions. The rational benefit is clear: improved uptime and lower total machining cost per component.

Reliable surface quality with precise edge geometry

The Rhombus 35° geometry paired with a 0.1 mm corner radius produces a fine, repeatable cutting edge suited to finishing and near‑finish operations where dimensional tolerance and surface finish matter. The FM2 chipbreaker promotes short, consistent chips that help avoid surface damage and protect the cutting edge from build‑up formation. Together with the 7° clearance angle, these features support accurate profile reproduction and stable cutting forces, ensuring components leave the lathe within specification.

Wide applicability across stainless and superalloy groups

Designed for the ISO material groups M and S, this insert is intended for stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys (including certain titanium alloys). The grade’s thermal resilience and edge integrity make it suitable where materials are tough, tend to work‑harden, or generate high cutting temperatures. For engineers and process planners, that means a single insert can cover several challenging applications, simplifying tool inventories and setup choices while maintaining process security.

Practical guidance for implementation

The insert’s compact 03 thickness and 11 size suit common toolholder interfaces for turning operations; the FM2 chipbreaker is optimised for medium to light depth cuts where chip control and surface stability are priorities. When integrating this insert into a new process, start with conservative cutting data and verify chip form and workpiece surface before ramping to production speeds. The predictable wear behaviour of the Tiger·tec Silver technology supports repeatable tool life assessments and makes cost‑per‑part calculations more reliable.
