DCGW11T302FS-1 WDN10 – PKD turning insert, Rhombus 55° by Walter Tools

The DCGW11T302FS-1 WDN10 is a precision indexable turning insert designed for demanding non‑ferrous and abrasive material applications, offering a durable PKD grade and compact Rhombus 55° form for reliable chip control and repeatable results.

• PKD grade WDN10 for abrasive non‑ferrous materials
• Rhombus 55° geometry for versatile turning operations
• 0.2 mm corner radius for refined surface finishes
• 7° rake angle for consistent chip formation

Proven wear resistance for abrasive applications

The insert’s WDN10 grade is a polykristalliner Diamant (PKD) material engineered for outstanding abrasion resistance, which translates into longer intervals between index changes and reduced downtime. In practical terms, the hardness and wear behaviour of the diamond layer maintain cutting edge integrity when working with abrasive, non‑ferrous alloys and composite materials; this stability supports predictable tool life and helps to keep production schedules steady. Selection should be validated against the product matrix to confirm optimal performance for specific workpiece materials.

Geometry that improves surface quality and repeatability

A compact Rhombus 55° form combined with a 0.2 mm corner radius and a 7° free angle creates a balance between strength and finesse: the geometry supports secure seating in the toolholder while enabling fine surface finishes and close dimensional tolerances. The T3 plate thickness contributes to adequate stiffness for medium finishing passes, and the defined chipbreaker 1 assists controlled chip formation, reducing rework. These engineered dimensions offer a practical route to consistent part quality in series production.

Process efficiency and machining security

Using a PKD insert from a reputable maker such as Walter Tools reduces the frequency of tool changes in high‑volume operations, which supports throughput improvements and lowers indirect production costs. The robust cutting edge of the diamond grade preserves dimensional stability across long runs, contributing to process security and reproducible results. For planners and process engineers, the insert’s characteristics enable straightforward integration into automated turning cycles while maintaining consistent end‑product quality.

Specification support and application guidance

Selection of the correct PKD grade and insert geometry can significantly influence machining outcomes; consultation and verification against the manufacturer’s product matrix are recommended to match the insert to the workpiece material and machining strategy. Technical advice and material‑specific recommendations are available through Metav Werkzeuge, offering specification support and machining parameter guidance to ensure the insert is used to its full potential in the intended application.

FAQ

What materials is this PKD grade suitable for?
The WDN10 PKD grade is primarily intended for non‑ferrous and abrasive non‑ferrous materials; suitability should be confirmed via the manufacturer’s product matrix before application.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect surface finish?
A 0.2 mm corner radius provides a fine compromise between edge strength and the ability to achieve refined surface finishes, making it suitable for finishing and semi‑finishing passes.

Is this insert appropriate for heavy roughing operations?
The combination of Rhombus 55° geometry and T3 thickness favours finishing and medium cutting conditions; for heavy roughing, a more robust geometry or a thicker plate may be preferable.

What does chipbreaker 1 indicate?
Chipbreaker 1 denotes a geometry designed for controlled chip formation in the specified material range, supporting consistent evacuation and reduced risk of built‑up edge in non‑ferrous machining.

Can the insert grade be used on steel or hardened materials?
As a PKD grade, WDN10 is optimised for non‑ferrous and abrasive non‑ferrous workpieces; use on ferrous or hardened steels is generally not recommended and requires verification against the product matrix.
