DCGW11T308EM-2 WBS10 Turning Insert — CBN, Rhombus 55° (Walter Tools)

The DCGW11T308EM-2 WBS10 is a CBN indexable turning insert designed for demanding finishing and hard-material turning tasks, offering a compact Rhombus 55° form for versatile mounting and approach angles.

• CBN grade WBS10 for high wear resistance
• Rhombus 55° geometry for versatile turning
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting action
• 0.8 mm corner radius for improved edge strength

Maximise tool life for hardened components

The CBN-based WBS10 cutting grade is engineered for high-wear environments and delivers consistent edge life when machining hardened steels and similarly demanding materials. As a superabrasive, CBN sustains cutting performance under elevated temperatures and maintains a sharp cutting edge longer than conventional carbides, which reduces the frequency of index changes and supports predictable production schedules. For operations where downtime must be limited, this insert provides a measurable improvement in run-time stability and process reliability.

Geometry that improves surface finish and control

The Rhombus 55° form combined with a 7° clearance and a 0.8 mm corner radius balances strength and finish. The 55° approach allows flexible insert orientation for general turning and light profiling, while the small corner radius increases edge robustness without compromising surface quality. The modest clearance angle reduces flank rubbing during engagement, lowering vibration and improving dimensional consistency. These geometric choices translate directly into fewer rework cycles and a steadier path to the required surface specifications.

Efficiency and process security in production

By selecting a dedicated CBN solution for abrasive, hardened workpieces, workshops benefit from reduced tool change frequency and enhanced material removal predictability. The insert’s construction supports stable chip formation and steady cutting forces, contributing to higher machine utilisation and lower per-part tooling costs over long runs. Walter Tools’ production standards aim for high process security and repeatable results, which helps preserve component tolerances and supports continuous, efficient machining operations.

Practical application notes and compatibility

This indexable insert is primarily intended for hard and highly abrasive tasks; confirmation of suitability for specific alloys or cast materials should be made against the product matrix. The insert’s thickness T3, chipbreaker configuration and Rhombus 55° shape make it adaptable to a range of turning setups, but cutting data must be tuned to the lathe and workholding in use. For unusual substrates such as superalloys or cast iron variants, please verify the application guidance to ensure optimum cutting parameters and coolant strategy.

FAQ

What materials is this CBN insert best suited for?
This CBN insert is designed primarily for hardened steels and other high-wear applications; suitability for specific alloys should be checked against the product matrix for the DCGW11T308EM-2 WBS10.

How does the Rhombus 55° geometry affect machining?
The Rhombus 55° shape allows flexible approach angles and general-purpose turning, improving accessibility and enabling stable cutting when used with the DCGW11T308EM-2 WBS10 insert.

Can this insert replace carbide grades for hardened workpieces?
For many hardened turning tasks, the WBS10 CBN grade provides longer edge life and better wear resistance than conventional carbides, making the insert a suitable alternative where hardness and abrasion limit carbide performance.

What should be checked before applying this insert to a new material?
Confirm the material in the product matrix and adjust cutting data to machine setup; the DCGW11T308EM-2 WBS10 requires specific speeds and feeds for optimal wear behaviour.
