WNMG 080408 GH330 — ISO WNMG trigon turning insert, 0° clearance (Tungaloy)

The WNMG080408-SS GH330 is an ISO trigon indexable insert for turning, engineered to provide reliable chip control and durable cutting-edge behaviour in general turning applications.

• ISO WNMG trigon insert, size 080408
• GH330 grade for wear resistance and toughness
• 0° clearance for stable external and internal turning
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Boosts machining throughput with consistent cutting performance

The combination of ISO conformity and a trigon geometry ensures repeatable insert indexing and straightforward integration into established tool systems. The GH330 grade optimises the balance between wear resistance and toughness, reducing unexpected edge breakage and interruptions. For production environments, this results in fewer tool changes and a more consistent cycle time, while the standardised form factor simplifies spare-part management across multiple lathes.

Geometry and chip control that improve surface finish

A trigon insert profile with a 0.8 mm corner radius and the specified SS chipbreaker promotes reliable chip formation and evacuation during turning. The 0° clearance supports accurate contact with the workpiece and helps maintain dimensional stability in both external and internal operations. These geometric choices translate into a measurable improvement in workpiece finish and lower rework rates, especially when paired with an appropriately selected holder and cutting parameters.

Material grade engineered for demanding turning tasks

The Tungaloy GH330 carbide composition is formulated to support a wide range of turning conditions by combining resistance to abrasive wear with the edge stability needed for interrupted cuts. This composition complements the insert’s geometry, helping to extend the interval between indexings and replacements. For manufacturers seeking predictable tool life and consistent part quality, the material-grade and design deliver an efficient compromise between longevity and performance.

System compatibility and selection guidance for reliable setup

ISO compatibility depends on factors such as insert shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; the trigon form and cylindrical hole of this insert enable secure clamping in suited WNMG-compatible holders. Choose the chipbreaker and grade to match the workpiece material, machining stability and desired surface quality. For guidance on holder matching and cutting data, the Metav Werkzeuge consultants provide application-focused advice to ensure correct system configuration and process reliability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for machining?
The WNMG080408-SS GH330 insert, in GH330 carbide, is designed as a versatile turning grade offering a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for a broad range of turning tasks.

How is compatibility with a tool holder determined?
Compatibility is determined by the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these parameters to a WNMG-compatible holder ensures secure clamping and repeatable performance.

What advantage does the SS chipbreaker provide?
The SS chipbreaker stabilises chip formation for turning operations, improving evacuation and contributing to consistent surface finish when combined with the trigon geometry and correct cutting parameters.

Does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect part accuracy?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between strength and detail: it increases edge robustness for stable cutting while maintaining adequate profile definition for most general turning profiles.
