DCGW070208TS-2 WBK20 – Turning indexable insert, CBN grade, Walter Tools

The DCGW070208TS-2 WBK20 is a CBN turning insert engineered for productive machining of hardened and highly abrasive materials, suited to demanding finishing and light roughing operations.

• CBN grade WBK20 for hardened materials
• Rhombic insert 55° for versatile turning
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting
• 0.8 mm corner radius for strong cutting edge

Stable performance where hardness matters

The CBN composition of this insert delivers consistent wear resistance on hardened steels, extending tool life under high contact stresses. The rhombic 55° geometry reduces cutting forces in interrupted cuts and supports versatile turning strategies, while the 7° clearance angle helps maintain a defined cutting edge geometry. These characteristics translate into fewer tool changes and predictable cycle times, improving overall production throughput and repeatability.

Predictable edge strength and surface quality

With a 0.8 mm corner radius and an optimised chipbreaker 2, the insert balances edge robustness with controlled chip formation. This combination promotes stable surface finish and reduces the risk of edge chipping in demanding cuts. The modest plate thickness and compact format contribute to secure clamping and reduced vibration, which benefits both surface integrity and tool life in serial machining.

Application guidance and process security

This CBN grade is described as suitable for hard and highly abrasive machining tasks; verify material compatibility against the product matrix before selection. The insert is particularly effective for finishing operations on thermally hardened components where abrasion and high contact pressure shorten the life of conventional carbide grades. When paired with appropriate cutting parameters, the insert supports stable, reproducible results and fewer interruptions in the machining cycle.

Practical advantages for workshop integration

Compact geometry and standard designation simplify inventory management and toolholders selection. The clear ISO-style designation aids ordering and ensures the correct grade is specified for high-demand applications. For operations seeking improved uptime and consistent part quality, this insert provides a technical route to enhanced process reliability without complex handling requirements.
