CPGW120408FS-1 – CPGW120408FS-1 WDN10 – WDN10 PKD insert for non‑ferrous metals by Walter Tools

A CPGW120408FS-1 WDN10 indexable insert designed for drilling, reaming and turning tasks on abrasive non‑ferrous materials and other non‑ferrous metals.

• Polykristalliner Diamant (PKD) Schneidstoff
• Rhombus 80° geometry for stable seating
• 11° clearance for reliable cutting action
• 0.8 mm corner radius for edge strength

Extended tool life through a wear‑resistant cutting grade

The primary asset of this insert is its polykristalliner Diamant (PKD) cutting material, indicated by the WDN10 grade. This PKD layer offers markedly higher abrasion resistance than conventional grades, which translates into longer tool life when machining abrasive non‑ferrous materials such as certain aluminium alloys, copper and composite non‑ferrous compounds. For production environments where changeover time and insert cost per component are critical, the PKD grade reduces overall tooling expenditure and the frequency of regrinds, supporting a more efficient machining flow.

Geometry engineered for stability and surface quality

With a rhombic 80° form and an 11° clearance angle, the insert provides a secure seating and a predictable cutting entry, which helps to control chip flow and minimise vibration. The 0.8 mm corner radius contributes to a robust cutting edge that balances strength and finish: small radii aid in precision grooves and profiling, while still offering enough edge support for interrupted cuts. These geometric choices improve process stability and contribute to a consistent surface finish in serial production.

Application focus and process recommendations

The combination of PKD grade and the specified geometry makes this indexable insert particularly suited to abrasive non‑ferrous metals and other non‑ferrous materials prone to rapid tool wear. It is important to verify the exact workpiece alloy against the product matrix, as the PKD performance depends on material composition and inclusions. When machining, adopt cutting parameters optimised for PKD—moderate feeds with controlled cutting speeds and appropriate coolant strategies—so that the wear behaviour remains stable and predictable, delivering both productivity and repeatability.

Practical handling and integration into tooling systems

This insert is supplied in the CPGW120408FS‑1 designation, compatible with standard toolholders designed for rhombic 80° indexable inserts. Its execution and tolerance class support precise positioning and repeatable clamping, which reduces setup time and maintains consistent part tolerances. The WDN10 grade and the open series designation allow straightforward selection for processes demanding high abrasion resistance; check holder compatibility and clamping torque to ensure optimum contact and thermal behaviour during operation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The WDN10 grade is a PKD solution intended chiefly for abrasive non‑ferrous metals and other non‑ferrous materials where high abrasion resistance is required.

Can this insert be used in standard rhombic 80° toolholders?
Yes, the CPGW120408FS‑1 geometry matches standard rhombic 80° indexable insert holders; ensure correct clamping and seating for repeatable results.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and helps maintain surface quality during interrupted or light finishing cuts, providing a balance between robustness and finish.

Is coolant required when machining with this PKD insert?
Coolant strategy should be selected based on the workpiece and process; PKD inserts often benefit from controlled cooling or air blast to manage heat and chip evacuation, improving consistency.

How should material suitability be verified before production use?
Refer to the product matrix and, if necessary, consult Metav Werkzeuge or Walter Tools application data to confirm that the WDN10 PKD grade matches the specific alloy and machining scenario.
