DCGT11T308FS-1 WDN10 — Rhombic 55° PCD indexable insert by Walter Tools

The DCGT11T308FS-1 WDN10 is a rhombic 55° indexable insert with a polycrystalline diamond grade, engineered for high-wear turning of abrasive, non‑ferrous materials

• Polycrystalline diamond grade WDN10
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise edges
• 7° clearance angle, T3 thickness

Exceptional wear resistance for abrasive, non‑ferrous workpieces

The polycrystalline diamond grade WDN10 provides very high wear resistance, making the insert particularly suitable for machining abrasive, non‑ferrous materials where conventional carbide wears rapidly. Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) consists of a bonded diamond layer on a substrate, which delivers long service life and a stable cutting edge. This stability directly translates into consistent surface finish and fewer part rejections in serial production. The grade selection supports processes where abrasive inclusions or silica‑rich alloys would otherwise shorten tool life; however, the specific suitability should be verified against the product matrix for the intended material and cutting conditions. The result is lower tooling consumption and reduced process variability when the grade is matched to the application.

Geometry designed for precision and repeatability

The rhombic 55° shape combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius gives a robust edge that balances sharpness and strength, supporting dimensional accuracy across long runs. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing on the flank, improving heat control at the cutting zone and aiding chip flow when paired with the integrated chipbreaker. With a T3 plate thickness and the standard chipbreaker designation, the insert offers reliable seat stability in compatible toolholders and predictable wear patterns that facilitate consistent reindexing. These geometric characteristics help to maintain component tolerances and surface integrity, while the controlled edge form reduces the need for frequent inspection and adjustment, contributing to smoother production cycles.

Process benefits: productivity, predictability and support

When integrated into a machining cell, the insert’s combination of PCD performance, stable geometry and repeatable edge life supports measurable productivity gains and reduced downtime. Longer tool life lowers intervention frequency and inventory turnover for cutting edges, improving overall equipment effectiveness. The Walter Tools grade and series are engineered for productive material removal and stable chip control; machining parameters should be set according to the material and machine capability to achieve the best economy per component. For applications where material composition or abrasiveness is uncertain, consultation of the product matrix is advised to confirm the optimal grade and cutting data. The DCGT11T308FS-1 WDN10 insert is a technical solution for businesses seeking reproducible results and lower tooling-related variability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The insert is supplied in the PCD grade WDN10, intended primarily for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials; suitability for a specific alloy should be confirmed via the product matrix and cutting data.

What does the WDN10 designation indicate?
WDN10 is a Walter Tools grade name for a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting material optimised for wear resistance in non‑ferrous and abrasive applications.

Which geometric specifications are relevant for setup?
Key specifications are rhombic 55° geometry, 0.8 mm corner radius, 7° clearance angle, T3 plate thickness and chipbreaker 1 — these determine seating, cutting direction and expected edge life for the DCGT11T308FS-1 WDN10.

Is this insert suitable for machining steel or hardened materials?
PCD grades such as WDN10 are intended mainly for non‑ferrous and abrasive non‑ferrous work. For steels or hardened alloys, alternative grades or substrates are typically recommended; check the product matrix for confirmed applications.
