DCGW11T308FS-1 WDN10 — Turning indexable insert, PCD grade for abrasive non‑ferrous machining | Walter Tools

The DCGW11T308FS-1 WDN10 is a polycrystalline diamond turning insert engineered for machining abrasive, non‑ferrous materials where wear resistance and consistent surface quality are essential.

• PCD grade WDN10 for abrasive non‑ferrous materials
• Rhombic 55° insert form for versatile cutting
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine profile control
• 7° clearance angle for steady chip flow

Maximise uptime with wear‑resistant PCD performance

Selected for demanding non‑ferrous and abrasive applications, this insert features polycrystalline diamond (PCD) as the cutting material, marked here as WDN10. PCD delivers exceptional wear resistance, significantly reducing flank and crater wear when machining abrasive alloys and composite materials. The result is longer intervals between index changes and improved batch consistency, translating into measurable gains in productivity and process economy. The carbide substrate and hardened bond system ensure stable mounting and repeatable positioning during multi‑part production.

Precision geometry for predictable surface finish and profile control

The rhombic 55° geometry combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and finishing capability. This geometry supports accurate contouring and small‑step profiling while maintaining edge stability under interrupted cuts. The 7° clearance angle contributes to smooth chip evacuation and reduces rubbing along the flank, helping to maintain surface integrity and dimensional accuracy in serial turning operations. Clear geometry choices like these simplify tooling decisions for engineers seeking reproducible results.

Chip control and process security for industrial workflows

A defined chipbreaker and the insert’s form factor assist controlled chip formation even in short‑chipping and abrasive materials. Stable chip behaviour reduces the risk of built‑up edge and tool vibration, which in turn protects the workpiece surface and downstream operations. By combining PCD hardness with the insert’s geometry, components achieve consistent surface quality with fewer reworks. The open series design of the cutting grade offers practical flexibility across a range of machine setups and clamping systems, aiding in rapid integration into existing production lines.
