DCGW070204EM-2 WBS10 indexable turning insert — Walter Tools (CBN grade, Rhombic 55°)

The DCGW070204EM-2 WBS10 is an indexable turning insert engineered for hard-material machining and robust finishing operations, especially suited to hardened steels and other wear‑prone alloys.

• CBN grade WBS10 for hard and abrasive materials
• Rhombic 55° insert form for versatile turning
• 7° clearance angle for reduced cutting forces
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finish

Higher uptime through a wear‑resistant CBN grade

The use of CBN cutting material in the WBS10 grade delivers markedly improved wear resistance compared with conventional carbide grades. This makes it particularly effective for operations on hardened steels and other highly abrasive workpieces, where edge life and dimensional stability are critical. The result is fewer insert changes, longer production runs and more predictable tool‑life management in serial machining.

Consistent surface quality from optimised geometry

The Rhombic 55° form combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° clearance produces a balance between edge strength and surface finish. The moderate corner radius supports a fine surface while maintaining resistance to chipping during interrupted cuts. The positive clearance angle reduces cutting forces and vibration, which helps to stabilise the process and achieve repeatable part quality in precision turning applications.

Process security and economic machining

Designed for productivity and consistent performance, this insert supports stable chip formation and reliable cutting behaviour under heavy wear conditions. As a branded product from Walter Tools, it offers proven manufacturing standards and traceable quality control. The combination of long tool life and predictable performance lowers overall machining costs by reducing downtime and rework, which contributes directly to more economical production cycles.

Practical application and selection guidance

The insert is intended for finishing and semi‑finishing of hard and highly abrasive materials; suitability depends on the workpiece and machining strategy. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's product matrix for specific material pairings and to match cutting data to the machine and clamping conditions. For bespoke applications or uncertainty about compatibility, consult Metav Werkzeuge for machining parameter recommendations and variant selection.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The DCGW070204EM-2 WBS10 insert from Walter Tools is optimised for hardened steels and other highly abrasive materials; final suitability should be verified in the manufacturer’s product matrix.

Can the insert be used for interrupted cuts or grooving?
The Rhombic 55° geometry and 0.4 mm corner radius provide good edge strength for many interrupted turning tasks, but application specifics depend on the machine and clamping conditions.

How does the CBN grade affect tool life compared with carbide?
CBN in the WBS10 grade offers significantly higher wear resistance on hardened workpieces, resulting in longer edge life and fewer tool changes than standard carbide grades in comparable conditions.

Is the geometry suitable for fine surface finishing?
Yes — the combination of a small corner radius and positive clearance angle supports fine surface quality while maintaining edge robustness for finishing operations.

Where can cutting data and compatibility details be obtained?
Refer to Walter Tools’ technical documentation and the product matrix for recommended cutting parameters and material pairings; Metav Werkzeuge can also provide application guidance.
