DCGT11T304FS-1 WDN10 indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — PCD grade, rhombic 55° geometry

The DCGT11T304FS-1 WDN10 is an indexable turning insert designed for high-wear applications on abrasive non-ferrous materials, combining a PCD cutting grade with a compact rhombic form for reliable chip control.

• PCD grade WDN10, high wear resistance
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting engagement
• 0.4 mm corner radius for consistent surface finish

Extended life on abrasive, non-ferrous materials

The primary benefit of the PCD-based WDN10 grade is its exceptional wear resistance when machining abrasive, non-ferrous workpieces. Polycrystalline diamond material retains a sharp cutting edge far longer than conventional carbides in these applications, which translates into fewer tool changes, reduced machine downtime and a steadier production rhythm. For production planners this means improved process stability and predictable replacement intervals without sacrificing surface quality.

Stable edge geometry for reproducible part quality

The insert’s Rhombic 55° shape together with the 7° clearance and a 0.4 mm corner radius supports consistent cutting engagement and helps maintain a dependable contact geometry across indexed corners. This combination reduces vibration and supports stable cutting forces, resulting in improved dimensional repeatability and surface finish on turned components. The compact thickness T3 and tolerance class G further assist in maintaining interchangeability and precise seating in the toolholder.

Controlled chip formation and machining suitability

Equipped with chipbreaker 1, this insert promotes predictable chip formation in typical PCD applications. The grade and chipbreaker choice are optimised for abrasive, non-ferrous materials; however, workpiece suitability should be checked against the product matrix before final selection. The series information indicates an open Walter grade family, allowing selection of matching toolholders and parameters to align with specific production requirements and machining strategies.

Practical production and economic considerations

Using a PCD insert such as this indexable turning insert reduces the frequency of regrinding and replacement compared with conventional grades in abrasive materials, contributing to lower labour and tooling overheads in serial machining. Fewer interruptions for tool handling and consistent edge life help to streamline set-up and quality assurance processes, supporting higher output and better overall cost control over longer production runs.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert primarily intended for?
The DCGT11T304FS-1 WDN10 indexable turning insert with WDN10 PCD grade is primarily intended for abrasive, non-ferrous materials; compatibility should be verified against the product matrix.

Can the insert be used for machining steel?
The Walter Tools DCGT11T304FS-1 WDN10 is specified for PCD applications and is not intended as a general-purpose steel insert; steel machining suitability is not indicated for this grade.

What does the WDN10 designation mean?
WDN10 denotes Walter’s PCD grade within the specified series; it identifies a polycrystalline diamond cutting material optimised for high wear resistance on abrasive non-ferrous workpieces.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect the process?
A 0.4 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and surface finish, improving load distribution on the cutting edge while supporting better part aesthetics and dimensional control.

How should the insert be specified when ordering?
Specify the full article number or SKU (DCGT11T304FS-1-WDN10-WALTER) together with the required toolholder data to ensure correct selection and compatibility.
