VCGT110304-FM2 WSM10S indexable turning insert for stainless steel and superalloys — Walter Tools

The VCGT110304-FM2 WSM10S is an indexable turning insert engineered to provide stable cutting-edge performance when machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, utilising the Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for stable cutting edge
• FM2 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Rhombic 35° form for versatile turning
• 7° clearance and 0.4 mm corner radius for finish

Durable edge technology for demanding materials

The WSM10S grade, part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, is formulated for heavy machining of tough alloys and for applications involving stainless steels (ISO group M) and superalloys/titanium (ISO group S). The coating and substrate combination enhances heat resistance and abrasion protection, which translates into a longer tool life and fewer insert changes. For process planners, this means improved machine uptime and a predictable production flow when working with materials that typically cause rapid wear or edge build-up.

Predictable chip flow increases productivity

The integrated FM2 chipbreaker is designed for reliable chip formation across a range of interrupted and continuous cuts. Consistent chip control reduces the risk of entanglement and tool damage, supports safe automatic machining cycles and simplifies chip management at the extraction stage. As a result, cycle times remain stable and downstream operations benefit from fewer surface defects, delivering an efficient and economical machining process.

Geometry that balances cutting access and surface finish

The Rhombic 35° shape provides a favourable entry angle for a variety of turning operations, combining reach with rigidity. The 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° clearance angle contribute to good surface quality while maintaining edge strength for light roughing and finishing passes. The insert dimensions (size 11, thickness 03) suit common toolholder families, enabling flexible toolset design without sacrificing accuracy. These geometric choices help to achieve consistent part tolerances and reduced rework.

Seamless workshop integration and application support

Compatibility with standard indexable‑insert toolholders and a focus on stable cutting behaviour make integration into existing workflows straightforward. The insert’s combination of grade and chip control helps to reduce tool consumption and unplanned downtime, supporting cost‑efficient serial production.

FAQ

Which materials are suitable for this insert?
The VCGT110304-FM2 WSM10S insert from Walter Tools is suitable for machining stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium (ISO group S), offering stable cutting behaviour in these demanding materials.

What is the benefit of the FM2 chipbreaker?
The FM2 chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled chip formation, improving chip evacuation and reducing the risk of chip-related incidents during automatic turning cycles with the VCGT110304-FM2 WSM10S.

How does the Rhombic 35° form affect cutting performance?
The Rhombic 35° geometry provides a favourable entry angle that balances accessibility and rigidity, enabling versatile turning operations while supporting consistent surface finish with the specified corner radius.

What corner radius is specified and when should it be used?
The insert features a 0.4 mm corner radius, suitable for finishing and light roughing applications where a compromise between edge strength and surface quality is required.

Is the grade coated and what advantages does that bring?
Yes; the WSM10S grade is part of the Tiger·tec Silver coating technology, which increases thermal resistance and wear protection, resulting in longer insert life and higher process reliability.
