DCGW11T304TM-2 WBH10 indexable turning insert (CBN) by Walter Tools — for hard turning, 7° clearance

DCGW11T304TM-2 WBH10 is an indexable turning insert designed for hard machining applications, engineered to deliver stable wear behaviour in hardened steels and comparable materials.

*CBN grade WBH10 for hard materials
*7° clearance angle for controlled cutting action
*Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
*0.4 mm nose radius for consistent surface finish

Reliable performance for hardened steels and high wear resistance

The insert employs a CBN grade WBH10, optimised for the high demands of hard machining. Cubic boron nitride (CBN) provides exceptional wear resistance and thermal stability compared with conventional carbide, which translates into extended tool life when machining hardened steels or pre-hardened workpieces. As a result, production runs benefit from fewer index changes and steadier process windows, supporting predictable cycle times and reduced operational interruptions.

Geometry that improves surface quality and dimensional control

A rhombic 55° cutting form combined with a 7° clearance angle and a 0.4 mm nose radius gives a balance between durability and finish capability. The geometry reduces cutting forces at the engagement point and helps control chip flow with the integrated chipbreaker stage 2, which supports consistent evacuation during interrupted cuts or tough alloys. The modest nose radius aids in achieving fine surface finishes without sacrificing edge strength, making the insert suitable for finish and semi-finish turning operations.

Process security and application guidance for production environments

Produced within the Walter CBN / Hartstoff series and manufactured to tolerance class G, this insert suits repetitive, high-pressure turning tasks where stable edge performance is required. Its designation and plate thickness T3 ensure compatibility with common clamping systems for indexable inserts of this family. Use is primarily directed at hardened and pre-hardened steels, where the material properties demand abrasive-resistant cutting edges; the result is a more reliable machining process and lower overall tool consumption per part.

FAQ

Which materials are best machined with this insert?
The DCGW11T304TM-2 WBH10 insert is intended primarily for hardened steels and pre-hardened materials; the CBN composition of the WBH10 grade gives the insert the required abrasion resistance for such applications.

What does the 0.4 mm nose radius mean for surface finish?
A 0.4 mm nose radius supports finer surface finishes while maintaining edge robustness; the geometry of this insert helps achieve consistent dimensional accuracy and surface quality in finishing passes.

How does the chipbreaker stage affect machining?
The chipbreaker (stage 2) assists in controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of entanglement during interrupted cuts and contributing to stable cutting forces across the workpiece.

Is this insert compatible with common turning holders?
The insert follows standard indexable insert dimensions and tolerance class G; compatibility depends on the specific toolholder family, so matching the DCGW11T304TM-2 form with corresponding clamping seats is recommended.

What production advantages does the CBN grade WBH10 offer?
WBH10 provides extended tool life and steady edge behaviour in hard turning, which reduces index changes and supports continuous production runs with consistent part quality.
