Walter 6090584 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide 3mm Superalloy

Product Description

The WALTER 6090584 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 3 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 22 mm, making it suited to moderate-depth grooving passes. The insert carries the WSM43S manufacturer grade with an aluminum-based (Al) PVD coating applied via physical vapor deposition. The CF5 chip breaker geometry is engineered to manage chip formation and evacuation in demanding cutting conditions. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in precision turned-parts environments.

This insert is rated for primary use on superalloys (material code S), with cross-application ratings for stainless steel (M45) and steel (P45) workpiece materials. It fits the Tiger-tec series tooling system and uses a clamp-style holding method. The neutral hand orientation and double-ended design extend usable tool life and offer setup flexibility on Swiss-style and standard turret configurations.

Key Features

• 3 mm cutting width with 22 mm maximum depth of cut
• Solid carbide construction with Al PVD coating for heat and wear resistance
• WSM43S grade rated for superalloy, stainless steel, and steel workpiece materials (S45, M45, P45)
• CF5 chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation
• Double-ended insert design for extended tool life
• Clamp-style holding method for secure, repeatable seating
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards (ANSI code GX242E300N02CF5 WSM43S, ISO code GX24-2E300N02-CF5)

Compatibility

Designed for use in the WALTER Tiger-tec series grooving system, insert style GX, size code 2E300N02, using clamp-type insert holders compatible with GX24 tooling. Refer to the WALTER catalog number GX24-2E300N02-CF5 for holder matching.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is de-energized before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten the clamping screw. Verify insert seating and runout before commencing a cut, particularly when machining superalloys where tool deflection can cause premature edge failure.
