Walter 6092250 Grooving Insert WSM33S Tiger-tec Solid Carbide

Product Description

The WALTER 6092250 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. Carrying the WSM33S manufacturer grade and featuring a multilayer PVD coating of Al2O3, TiAlN, and ZrCN, this insert delivers thermal resistance and edge stability under demanding cutting conditions. It produces a 3.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 22.00 mm and a 0.20 mm corner radius. The CE4 chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip control in continuous and interrupted cuts. Licensed machinists and CNC operators handling aerospace, energy, and precision-parts work will find this insert suited to production grooving cycles.

This insert is part of the Tiger-tec series, optimized for primary workpiece materials classified under ISO material groups M, P, and S, covering stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys including nickel-based and titanium alloys. It carries a neutral hand orientation, making it adaptable to standard right-hand and left-hand tooling setups depending on the holder configuration. The double-end design extends usable insert life by providing two cutting edges per insert. Typical applications include grooving to close tolerances on turned components in aerospace, oil and gas, and general precision machining environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD-applied Al2O3, TiAlN, and ZrCN multilayer coating for heat and wear resistance
• 3.00 mm cutting width and 22.00 mm maximum depth of cut for versatile grooving reach
• CE4 chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation in superalloy and steel applications
• Double-end insert design provides two cutting edges, extending insert service life
• Neutral hand orientation supports flexible toolholder pairing
• Conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards for broad toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with Walter GX system clamp-style grooving toolholders accepting the GX 2E insert style. Compatible with ISO code GX24-2E300N02-CE4 and ANSI code GX242E300N02CE4 WSM33S toolholder configurations. Suitable for material grades S30, M30, and P35 per the manufacturer grade classification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing the insert. Use the appropriate clamp key or torx driver specified for the Walter GX clamping system and ensure the insert is fully seated in the pocket before applying final clamp torque. Inspect the insert seating surface and chip groove for debris before installation to prevent insert rocking or premature edge failure.
