DCGT11T308-FN2 WN10 — Turning insert (Rhombus 55°, 0.8 mm corner radius) by Walter Tools

DCGT11T308-FN2 WN10 is a precision turning indexable insert designed for general turning operations where consistent chip control and robust edge performance are required

• FN2 chipbreaker for reliable chip formation
• WN10 uncoated carbide grade for predictable cutting
• Rhombus 55° geometry for flexible tool approach
• 0.8 mm corner radius for enhanced edge strength

Stable chip control improves process reliability

The combination of the FN2 chipbreaker with the WN10 uncoated carbide grade is selected to promote consistent chip formation under a variety of cutting conditions. The chipbreaker geometry reduces the risk of long, stringy chips and supports secure evacuation in both light and interrupted cuts. For production environments this translates into fewer stoppages and more predictable cycle times, supporting an efficient machining process without relying on complex coatings.

Geometry that adds flexibility to turning tasks

The Rhombus 55° shape and 0.8 mm corner radius balance cutting edge strength with access to narrow profile areas. A 55° approach angle offers a favourable compromise between cutting force distribution and surface finish, while the 7° clearance supports low rubbing and reduced flank wear. The plate thickness (T3) ensures adequate support in the pocket; together these geometric choices allow a single insert to cover a wide range of routine turning tasks with stable performance.

Predictable life and quality through material selection

The insert is supplied in the WN10 grade, an uncoated cemented carbide formulation intended for balanced wear resistance and toughness. Its tolerance class G is designed for consistent fit and repeatable positioning in standard toolholders. Although the grade is described as catalogue-dependent in its exact formulation, users are advised to verify the material suitability against the manufacturer’s product matrix to match workpiece materials and cutting parameters — this step ensures the expected tool life and surface quality are achieved.

Practical integration and application guidance

When integrating this insert into a tool system, select a compatible holder sized for the DCGT geometry and ensure correct clamping to maintain insert stability. The DCGT11T308-FN2 designation indicates the insert family and chipbreaker variant for easy ordering and replacement. For recommendations on cutting data, clamping torque and suitable holders, Metav Werkzeuge can provide tailored advice and stock information so the insert performs reliably within the specific production context.

FAQ

What cutting tasks is this insert intended for?
The DCGT11T308-FN2 WN10 turning insert is intended for general turning operations where stable chip formation and dependable edge performance are required; its Rhombus 55° geometry and FN2 chipbreaker support a wide range of routine turning applications.

Is the WN10 grade coated or uncoated, and what does that mean?
WN10 is an uncoated carbide grade; this means the substrate provides the cutting properties rather than a surface coating, offering balanced toughness and wear resistance suited to varied turning conditions — check the product matrix for exact material recommendations.

How does the FN2 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FN2 chipbreaker is designed to produce controlled chip shapes that evacuate reliably, reducing the likelihood of chip-related stoppages and supporting consistent surface quality during turning.

Can this insert be used for stainless or hardened steels?
Material suitability depends on the specific WN10 formulation and the intended application; the product notes advise verifying compatibility against the manufacturer’s matrix before use to ensure optimal performance with particular steels or alloys.

What does the designation DCGT11T308-FN2 indicate?
The designation denotes the insert family (DCGT), nominal size and shape (11, Rhombus 55°), thickness (T3), corner form (08 → 0.8 mm radius) and the FN2 chipbreaker variant, which helps with ordering and selecting matching toolholders.
