DCGW070204TS-2 WBK20 — Indexable Turning Insert (Rhombic 55°, 7° clearance) by Walter Tools

DCGW070204TS-2 WBK20 is an indexable turning insert designed for high‑performance machining of hard and abrasive materials

• CBN grade WBK20 for hard, wear‑resistant machining
• Rhombic 55° insert form for versatile turning
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting engagement
• 0.4 mm corner radius for defined edge strength

High‑performance CBN grade for hardened components

The CBN‑based WBK20 grade is engineered for consistently stable cutting when machining hardened steels and other abrasive workpiece materials. The key advantage lies in the insert's material: cubic boron nitride delivers exceptional hardness and thermal stability, which translates into longer service life and reduced tool change frequency. This results in fewer interruptions in production and improved cost efficiency per component while maintaining dimensional consistency and surface quality.

Geometry that enhances process reliability

The rhombic 55° shape combined with a 7° clearance angle offers a balance between general‑purpose versatility and secure engagement in the cutting zone. The geometry allows for controlled chip formation and reliable approach to shoulders or interrupted cuts, while the 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge robustness without compromising profile accuracy. Such design choices support repeatable results and minimise the risk of premature edge failure during medium to heavy interrupted turning.

Practical benefits for workshop productivity

As an indexable insert, this item simplifies tool management: a defined insert geometry and tolerance class G make replacement and set‑up predictable, aiding cycle time reduction and improving process planning. The presence of a chipbreaker (position 2) assists in chip control under typical turning conditions, supporting stable machining and safe evacuation of chips. For operational planning, the grade’s catalogue‑dependent material designation advises checking the product matrix to confirm optimal workpiece materials and cutting data.

Guidance for selection and integration into existing tooling

Selection should be based on the workpiece material and process demands; WBK20 is primarily aimed at hard, high‑wear applications and may also suit certain cast or superalloy tasks depending on the specific product matrix. Confirm that the insert designation DCGW070204TS‑2 matches the toolholder pocket and clamping method in use. If uncertainty arises about fitment or application parameters, the product matrix and Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors provide targeted recommendations to align cutting strategy with component requirements.
