VCMT110304-FM4 WSM10S Drehwendeschneidplatte — rhombic 35° turning insert with Tiger·tec Silver by Walter Tools

The VCMT110304-FM4 WSM10S is a rhombic 35° indexable turning insert designed for productive machining of stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys in demanding turning operations

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for edge stability
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• FM4 chipbreaker for predictable chip control

Stable cutting edges for demanding materials

The Tiger·tec Silver coating combined with the WSM10S carbide grade delivers a good balance between hardness and toughness, reducing flank wear under high temperatures. This makes the insert particularly suited to machining stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys, where thermal loads and workhardening can otherwise shorten tool life. The result is a more stable process window and fewer unplanned tool changes, supporting uninterrupted production and predictable component quality.

Geometry that improves surface finish and accuracy

The rhombic 35° shape with a 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compact cutting edge that promotes fine finishing while maintaining strength for light to medium cuts. The FM4 chipformer is optimised to break and evacuate chips reliably, lowering the risk of built‑up edge and surface deterioration. For users with limited experience of insert geometry, the compact radius helps achieve consistent workpiece tolerances without complex parameter changes.

Reduced cycle times through consistent tool life

By combining a modern coating system with a carbidesort tailored for adhesion resistance, the insert extends tool life and supports higher cutting parameters where appropriate. The balanced substrate and coating reduce catastrophic edge failures and allow for longer uninterrupted machining intervals, meaning less downtime for insert changes and a lower number of spare inserts in stock. This advantage translates directly into improved throughput and lower unit production effort.

Clear compatibility and straightforward specification

The insert conforms to ISO turning group applicability for M and S materials and features a 7° clearance angle and thickness code 03 with insert size 11, tolerance class M. The specification supports machining of stainless steel (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (ISO group S), offering flexibility across mixed production batches. For integrators, the standard form facilitates straightforward mounting in common toolholders for rhombic VCMT styles.
