Walter 6089965 Grooving Insert GX2E300N02CF6 WSM33S Carbide

Product Description

The WALTER 6089965 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the WSM33S grade designation, this insert features a multilayer PVD coating combining Al2O3, TiAlN, and ZrCN for extended wear resistance and thermal stability at high cutting speeds. The GX2E300N02CF6 insert style provides a 3 mm cutting width and supports a maximum depth of cut of 22 mm. The CF6 chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip evacuation in demanding applications. It is installed by machinists and tooling technicians working in precision metalcutting environments.

This insert is suited for grooving, recessing, and parting applications on superalloys, stainless steels, and general steel workpieces, corresponding to material grades S30, M30, and P35. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with standard clamp-style grooving toolholders in the Tiger-tec series product line. Typical use cases include aerospace component machining, energy sector parts, and high-temperature alloy turning where insert longevity and chip control are critical performance factors.

Key Features

• 3 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 22 mm
• CF6 chip breaker geometry optimized for controlled chip formation in difficult-to-machine materials
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder compatibility
• 0.20 mm corner radius for defined edge geometry on grooved features
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards; ANSI Code GX242E300N02CF6 WSM33S, ISO Code GX24-2E300N02-CF6

Compatibility

Designed for use with clamp-style grooving toolholders in the Walter Tiger-tec series. Primary workpiece material codes are M, P, and S, covering stainless steels, general steels, and superalloys. Material grades S30, M30, and P35 apply.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Secure the insert firmly in the clamp-style holder and verify seating before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris prior to each insert change to maintain accurate tool geometry.
