VCGT160404-FM2 WSM10S turning insert – Rhombus 35°, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The VCGT160404-FM2 WSM10S is an indexable turning insert optimised for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys in demanding industrial turning applications.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating technology
• WSM10S grade for rostfreier Stahl & superalloys
• Rhombus 35° insert form
• 0.4 mm corner radius with 7° relief

Durable grade engineered for difficult materials

The combination of Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM10S grade provides a wear-resistant, thermally stable cutting edge that supports consistent cutting performance in tough-to-machine alloys. Coated carbide technology means a hard outer layer with a tough substrate beneath; this reduces flank wear and helps prevent premature edge failure. For machining rostfreier Stahl and other heat-resistant materials, the result is a more predictable tool life and fewer tool changes, which supports higher machine uptime and lower process costs.

Geometry that improves chip control and surface finish

A Rhombus 35° profile paired with the FM2 chipbreaker creates controlled chip segmentation and reliable evacuation during turning operations. The small 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength without sacrificing surface quality, while the 7° relief angle reduces rubbing on the flank face. The chipbreaker’s form is designed to transform long, stringy chips into short, manageable segments, improving cycle stability and minimising manual intervention for chip handling. The geometry therefore benefits both productivity and part finish in one solution.

Built for integration and stable production results

As an indexable insert from Walter Tools, the VCGT160404-FM2 WSM10S fits standard toolholder systems compatible with VCGT formats and supports a range of turning tasks from semi-finishing to heavier interrupted cuts when the process is set up accordingly. The insert’s FM2 chip control and the Tiger·tec Silver series properties contribute to reproducible component quality and fewer rejects. For process planning, this means clearer parameter windows and a contribution to predictable cycle times — a practical advantage for production planners and operators.

FAQ

What materials is the insert suitable for?
The insert is specified for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys (material groups S and M), using the thermal and wear-resistant properties of the WSM10S grade.

How does the FM2 chipbreaker benefit production?
The FM2 chipbreaker creates short, controlled chips that are easier to evacuate, reducing chip-related interruptions and improving cycle stability with this Walter Tools insert.

What effect does the 0.4 mm corner radius have on part quality?
A 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge robustness and contributes to a consistent surface finish while offering a balance between strength and fine detail on turned components.

Is this insert compatible with standard VCGT toolholders?
Yes, the geometry corresponds to the VCGT format and is designed for integration into standard indexable turning toolholders that accept Rhombus 35° inserts.
