VCGT110302-FM2 WSM01 — Indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Silver, Walter Tools

The VCGT110302-FM2 WSM01 is a coated carbide turning insert designed for medium to heavy turning of stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering a balanced combination of edge stability and predictable wear behaviour.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for enhanced wear resistance
• WSM01 grade optimised for stainless steels and superalloys
• 7° clearance for secure cutting geometry
• FM2 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

Precise performance for stainless steel and superalloys

The WSM01 grade, presented in the Tiger‑tec Silver series, is a coated carbide formulation developed for stable cutting in demanding materials. For stainless steel (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO group S), this composition supports reliable chip control and reduces the tendency for built‑up edge. The result is more consistent component dimensions and fewer interrupted cycles due to tool change. The coated surface also increases resistance to abrasive wear, which pays off in longer effective tool life under elevated temperatures.

Geometry tailored to surface quality and repeatability

The rhombic 35° shape with a 0.2 mm corner radius and 7° clearance gives a compromise between strength and finish: the small corner radius supports fine surface appearance on turned parts, while the clearance angle maintains a positive cutting geometry for secure tool engagement. The FM2 chipbreaker is designed for segmented chip formation, reducing long swarf and improving evacuation in both continuous and interrupted cuts. In practice this means fewer machining interruptions and a steadier workpiece finish when compared with unrestricted geometries.

Integrating the insert for efficient production

As an indexable plate, the insert simplifies logistics and tool management: multiple cutting edges per insert reduce downtime for regrinding and replacement. The standardized ISO designation and the compact VCGT110302‑FM2 format allow straightforward fitting into common toolholders, which supports quick changeover and reduced setup variance. With its WSM01 substrate and coating, the insert provides a predictable wear curve that helps planning of tool life and inventory, contributing directly to process stability and cost control in series production.
