DCGW11T304EM-2 WBS10 Walter Tools — Indexable turning insert, CBN grade, Rhombic 55°

The DCGW11T304EM-2 WBS10 is an indexable turning insert engineered for hard turning applications, providing stable cutting performance on hardened steels and wear‑resistant alloys.

• CBN grade WBS10 for hard turning
• Rhombic 55° insert geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise finishes
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting

Engineered for stable cutting in hard turning

The insert is designed for demanding, wear‑intensive operations and delivers consistent performance in serial production. The use of CBN technology in the WBS10 grade focuses on abrasion resistance and heat tolerance, which reduces flank wear and prolongs tool life under high contact temperatures. The rhombic geometry combined with a 7° clearance angle promotes a stable cutting edge, resulting in predictable tool behaviour and lower rework rates. These technical characteristics translate into measurable process benefits such as reduced tool change frequency and more consistent part tolerances.

Geometry and finish that improve surface quality and repeatability

A controlled cutting edge geometry ensures that the machined surface meets finish requirements with fewer passes. The Rhombic 55° shape and 0.4 mm corner radius are optimised for turning operations where edge strength and repeatability matter. The insert’s profile supports secure chip formation, while the nominal T3 thickness contributes to rigidity at the cutting zone. Together, these features enable a balance between edge robustness and surface finish, helping to achieve the required dimensional stability across batches.

Process reliability and economical productivity

The combination of CBN grade and robust insert geometry is aimed at reducing total machining costs in hard material applications. Walter CBN / Hartstoff series inserts are intended for tasks where conventional grades would suffer rapid wear; the result is longer tool life and fewer interruptions for tool changes. For materials and specific cutting data, suitability should be verified against the product matrix to ensure optimum parameter selection. Where applicable, the insert supports higher cutting speeds and stable chip control, which contributes to lower cycle times and increased throughput in production environments.
