VCMT110302-FM4 WSM10S turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver, FM4 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

VCMT110302-FM4 WSM10S is a coated indexable turning insert for demanding turning applications in difficult‑to‑machine materials and rostfreie Stähle

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• Robust FM4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic 35° form for versatile turning
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishing

Precision and productivity for demanding turning tasks

The coated indexable insert combines a modern coating technology with a geometry optimised for controlled cutting in demanding materials. The Tiger·tec Silver series and the WSM10S grade deliver enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability, which supports a stable cutting edge under high thermal loads. The FM4 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, manageable chips in interrupted cuts and continuous turning alike, reducing downtime for chip handling and improving process reliability when machining rostfreie Stähle and superalloys.

Geometry and cutting behaviour that support surface finish

A rhombic 35° form with a 0.2 mm corner radius provides a balance between accessibility in tight features and the ability to achieve a fine surface finish. The insert’s small corner radius reduces cutting forces and helps to avoid chatter in light finishing passes, while the relief angle of 7° maintains strength at the cutting edge. For application engineers and workshop planners, this means predictable results in finishing and semi‑finishing operations, fewer part rejects and improved repeatability across serial production runs.

Material scope and application advantages

The WSM10S grade is intended for the machining of workpiece groups M and S — specifically rostfreie Stähle and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium — materials that tend to generate heat and strain the cutting edge. The coated carbide substrate, part of the Tiger·tec Silver system, supports secure chip formation and good edge stability, enabling productive material removal rates while maintaining tool life. For manufacturers processing components in aerospace, medical or energy sectors, the insert offers a pragmatic compromise between aggressive cutting capability and surface integrity, assisting process engineers to meet tight tolerances without excessive tool changes.
