DCGT11T304FS-M1 WDN10 turning indexable insert by Walter Tools — PKD grade, rhombic 55°

The DCGT11T304FS-M1 WDN10 is a rhombic 55° turning insert with a PKD cutting grade designed for productive machining of abrasive, non‑ferrous materials and specialised turning applications

PKD grade for abrasive non‑ferrous materials Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning 7° relief angle for stable cutting 0.4 mm corner radius for precise edge definition

Reliable wear resistance for abrasive non‑ferrous machining

The insert uses a PKD (polycrystalline diamond) grade, providing exceptional wear resistance when machining abrasive, non‑ferrous workpieces. This makes the component particularly suitable for high‑abrasion applications such as machining fibre‑filled composites, graphite or certain non‑ferrous alloys. The WDN10 grade balances edge robustness and wear life to reduce downtime and increase productive cutting time. For unfamiliar materials, checking the product matrix and machining parameters is recommended to confirm optimal performance.

Geometry that improves process stability and surface quality

A rhombic 55° configuration paired with a 7° relief angle offers a controlled cutting approach and reduced radial load on the toolholder. The M1 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation, lowering the risk of built‑up edge and improving surface finish. The 0.4 mm corner radius helps maintain edge integrity for fine turning tasks while supporting repeatable dimensional stability across production runs.

Application guidance and material suitability

This insert is targeted at turning tasks on abrasive, non‑ferrous substrates; the PKD grade is not intended for machining hardened steels or standard ferrous materials. The specification "T3" indicates the insert thickness series, and the size "11" denotes the insert dimension class. Prior to series production, validate cutting data and coolant or lubrication strategy against the material to ensure optimal tool life and part quality. Consult material‑specific parameters in the technical matrix where necessary.

Economic and process benefits in production environments

By combining a wear‑resistant PKD grade with a geometry designed for stable chip control, the insert reduces frequency of index changes and rework, contributing to improved process efficiency. The robust edge life of the WDN10 grade typically lowers tooling costs per component in abrasive turning operations and supports consistent quality in medium to high volume manufacture. Integration into established toolholders for rhombic 55° inserts is straightforward, facilitating rapid replacement and minimal setup time.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The DCGT11T304FS‑M1 WDN10 insert uses a PKD grade and is intended primarily for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials and composites where polycrystalline diamond shows superior wear resistance.

Can this insert be used on steel or stainless steel?
PKD grades such as WDN10 are generally unsuitable for conventional steels and stainless steels; the DCGT11T304FS‑M1 WDN10 is optimised for non‑ferrous and abrasive substrates.

How does the M1 chipbreaker influence machining performance?
The M1 chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing cutting disturbances during turning operations.

What does the designation T3 and size 11 indicate?
"T3" refers to the insert thickness series and "11" denotes the insert size class for the rhombic 55° form; these influence stability in the toolholder and the suitable cutting parameters.

Is there any preparatory check recommended before series production?
It is advisable to verify the insert's suitability for the specific workpiece material and to fine‑tune cutting data according to the material matrix before committing to high‑volume production with the DCGT11T304FS‑M1 WDN10.
