VCMT160404-FM4 WSM10S turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver coating, FM4 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

A VCMT160404-FM4 WSM10S turning insert engineered for demanding external turning of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, featuring a rhombic 35° geometry for flexible approach angles

• Tiger·tec Silver coated grade WSM10S
• Developed for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Rhombic 35° shape for versatile turning
• FM4 chipbreaker for stable chip control

Proven grade for high thermal and mechanical loads

The WSM10S grade, realised through the Tiger·tec Silver coating technology, combines wear resistance with improved heat tolerance to keep the cutting edge stable under heavy loads. This turning insert is particularly suitable for machining rostfreier Stahl and materials classified under ISO group S, where heat generation and edge stress are critical. The result is a reduction in unplanned tool changes and a more consistent batch quality, which supports higher process reliability and lower cycle‑time variance in serial production.

Controlled chips and improved surface quality

The integrated FM4 chipbreaker is designed to produce predictable, segmented chips even under varying cutting conditions. Stable chip formation reduces the risk of built‑up edge and workpiece damage, which translates directly into better surface finishes and fewer rework cycles. For shops focusing on process repeatability, the combination of a consistent chip pattern and a resilient coating helps to maintain a stable cutting edge over extended tool life, lowering per‑part machining costs.

Geometry that increases versatility and accessibility

A rhombic 35° platform delivers a favourable approach angle for external turning, enabling light to medium depths of cut with reduced cutting forces and improved access to complex profiles. The insert’s 0.4 mm corner radius supports a balance between robustness and fine surface quality, while the 7° relief angle aids chip evacuation and limits rubbing on the flank. This geometry makes the insert a versatile choice for operations that require both roughing capacity and finishing capability without frequent insert changes.

Practical integration and material scope

Available as a VCMT‑style insert in size 16 with thickness designation 04, the plate integrates easily into standard toolholders designed for rhombic 35° inserts. The grade designation and material code (S / M) indicate suitability for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys, while the coating technology is tuned for stable edge retention. For production environments that demand consistent performance across mixed series, the insert supports predictable tool life and simplified grade selection, helping to streamline inventory and setup procedures.

FAQ

What materials are recommended for this insert?
The VCMT160404-FM4 WSM10S insert is recommended for machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), benefitting from the Tiger·tec Silver grade for improved edge stability.

How does the FM4 chipbreaker affect performance?
The FM4 chipbreaker on this turning insert promotes controlled chip segmentation, which enhances surface finish consistency and reduces the likelihood of built‑up edge during continuous turning operations.

Can this insert be used for both roughing and finishing?
Yes, the rhombic 35° geometry combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius allows a flexible balance between roughing capacity and finishing quality when cutting parameters are set accordingly.

What are the key dimensional specifications to check for holder compatibility?
Key specifications include the VCMT ISO designation, insert size 16 and thickness code 04, along with the rhombic 35° form and 0.4 mm corner radius; these determine holder compatibility.

Is the grade suitable for long production runs?
The WSM10S grade with Tiger·tec Silver coating is engineered for prolonged edge life under thermal and mechanical stress, making it a suitable choice for extended production runs where consistent tool life matters.
