VCGT110304-FM2 WSM20S — indexable turning insert, Rhombic 35°, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The VCGT110304-FM20S is an indexable turning insert engineered for high process reliability when machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering secure chip control and long tool life.

Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance Suitable for stainless steels and superalloys Rhombic 35° insert with 0.4 mm nose radius FM2 chipbreaker for controlled chips

Reliable performance on stainless steels and superalloys

The WSM20S grade, part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, is formulated to cope with the thermal and mechanical stresses of machining stainless steels and superalloys. Its coated cemented carbide composition improves heat resistance and reduces flank and crater wear, resulting in longer tool life and fewer interruptions in production. For applications where material adhesion and built‑up edge are common, this grade supports stable cutting edge behaviour and consistent component quality.

Geometry that stabilises cutting and surface finish

A Rhombic 35° lead angle paired with a 0.4 mm nose radius and 7° relief produces a favourable balance between cutting force direction and tool strength. The geometry moderates cutting loads for finishing passes while still offering sufficient edge support for semi‑finishing operations. The result is improved dimensional control and a predictable surface condition, which reduces the need for subsequent finishing and shortens overall cycle time.

Controlled chips and process efficiency

The FM2 chipbreaker is designed to generate short, manageable chips across a range of depths of cut, improving swarf evacuation and machine safety. With secure chip control and the thermal resilience of the coating, operators can run more stable cutting parameters and achieve higher material removal rates without sacrificing tool life. This contributes directly to increased throughput and a lower cost per part in series production.

Practical compatibility and straightforward identification

The insert follows the common ISO designation VCGT110304‑FM2, making it compatible with standard toolholders for turning operations. Its size and thickness are industry‑standard, which simplifies inventory management and tool change procedures. For shops machining mixed batches of stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys, this insert provides a versatile solution that reduces tooling complexity while maintaining consistent results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCGT110304-FM2 WSM20S insert is intended for stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (ISO group S), benefitting from the Tiger·tec Silver coating in demanding thermal conditions.

How does the FM2 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FM2 chipbreaker shapes short, controllable chips that enhance swarf evacuation and safety, which helps maintain stable machining and reduces interruptions for chip clearance.

Which toolholders fit this ISO designation?
Standard toolholders designed for VCGT ISO inserts accept this geometry; the ISO designation VCGT110304‑FM2 identifies the insert form and relief for correct mounting.

What benefits does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating increases thermal resistance and wear protection, supporting longer tool life and steady cutting performance when machining adhesive or heat‑generating materials.

Is the nose radius suitable for finishing work?
With a 0.4 mm nose radius, the insert offers a good compromise between edge strength and surface finish, making it suitable for semi‑finish and finish operations depending on cutting parameters.
