DCGW11T308TM-2 WBH10 – CBN turning insert for hard turning, Walter Tools

A DCGW11T308TM-2 WBH10 indexable turning insert engineered for heavy wear and hard material machining, particularly suited to precision turning of hardened steels.

• CBN grade WBH10 for high wear resistance
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° rake angle

High‑performance cutting where durability matters

The insert is based on CBN technology and the WBH10 grade, providing exceptional resistance against abrasive and adhesive wear in hard machining tasks. For component production where tool life translates directly to uptime, the use of a cubic boron nitride cutting material reduces flank wear and maintains a stable cutting edge over extended cycles. This results in fewer tool changes and predictable process windows. The combination of a robust cutting material with a carefully selected geometry supports repeatable dimensional accuracy during series production.

Geometry and edge design that stabilise the cut

A rhombic 55° profile delivers a balance between entry angle and cutting force distribution, making the insert suitable for a wide range of turning operations, from facing to light profiling. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts while still allowing for fine surface finishes when matched with appropriate feeds. A measured 7° rake promotes controlled chip formation and reduces cutting temperatures in hard turning, which helps to protect the cutting edge and the workpiece microstructure. Explained plainly, these design choices mean fewer rejects and more consistent surface quality.

Practical benefits for workshop productivity

The insert’s thickness class T3 and the standard designation ensure compatibility with common turning toolholders, simplifying tooling logistics on the shop floor. Because the grade is optimised for hardened materials, machinability improvements are realised in parts made from heat‑treated steels where conventional carbide tooling would wear prematurely. Fewer interruptions for tool changes and stable machining parameters translate into faster cycle times and lower unit production costs, offering a clear cost‑efficiency argument for batch and continuous production environments.

Application guidance and process reliability

Designed for hard turning and heavy wear conditions, the insert is suitable for components in sectors such as automotive, tooling and die, and heavy engineering where hardened steels are processed. Choosing the right feeds and speeds for a CBN grade is vital: moderately high cutting speeds with stable feeds yield the best balance of productivity and edge life. For new applications, start with conservative parameters and increase productivity once tool behaviour is established. Additional process support is available from Metav Werkzeuge, which can advise on optimal holder selection and cutting data.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed to machine?
The DCGW11T308TM-2 WBH10 insert from Walter Tools is specifically designed for machining hardened steels and other high‑wear applications where CBN tooling provides superior performance.

How does the WBH10 grade improve tool life?
The WBH10 CBN grade offers high abrasion resistance and a stable cutting edge, which reduces flank wear and extends tool life under the high contact stresses typical of hard turning.

Which insert geometry should be chosen for general turning tasks?
The rhombic 55° geometry of this insert provides a versatile compromise for facing and turning operations, delivering stable cutting forces and good access for profiling.

Is this insert compatible with standard turning holders?
Yes, the DCGW11T308TM-2 designation and T3 thickness class match common indexable insert holders; verify holder compatibility with the tool supplier before use.

What edge preparation benefits does a 0.8 mm corner radius offer?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts and supports consistent surface finish when combined with appropriate feed rates.
