DCGW11T308TM-2 WBH10C Drehwendeschneidplatte — CBN grade for hardened steels, Walter Tools

The DCGW11T308TM-2 WBH10C is a rhombic 55° turning insert with a CBN cutting grade, intended for hard turning of hardened steels and similar high-hardness materials.

• CBN grade WBH10C for hard turning
• Rhombic 55° geometry
• 7° relief angle, 0.8 mm corner radius
• T3 thickness, insert size 11

Exceptional cutting performance for hardened materials

The combination of CBN cutting material and a rhombic 55° geometry delivers superior wear resistance and thermal stability during hard machining. Designed for operations on hardened steels, this insert maintains stable cutting conditions where conventional carbides would wear rapidly. The WBH10C grade is optimised for high contact loads and elevated temperatures, so tool life is extended and process interruptions are reduced. The specified corner radius 0.8 mm supports durable edge strength, enabling economically efficient finishing passes while sustaining surface quality on demanding components.

Stable process and consistent surface integrity

A controlled geometry together with the 7° relief significantly improves chip flow and contact mechanics at the cutting edge, which benefits repeatability and surface finish. The balanced design reduces the risk of premature edge chipping and helps to preserve dimensional accuracy during serial production. As a result, shops experience fewer reworks and more predictable cycle times. The Walter CBN series is known for producing stable chips and reliable edge behaviour, translating into lower overall machining costs and a more consistent end-product appearance.

Seamless integration into machining cells and economical use

The insert’s standardised format and T3 thickness allow straightforward integration into existing toolholders for turning operations, easing inventory management and tool changeover. Its suitability for pre-hardened and hardened steels makes it a versatile choice across grinding-replacement and hard-finishing tasks. Choosing this insert supports a pragmatic balance between performance and tool consumption: fewer insert changes, less downtime and an improved economic footprint for high-hardness applications. For newcomers to CBN tooling, the properties of WBH10C are simple to evaluate in a controlled test cut before full production deployment.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The DCGW11T308TM-2 WBH10C from Walter Tools is designed primarily for hardened steels and is also suitable for many pre-hardened applications thanks to its CBN-based cutting grade.

How does the WBH10C grade differ from carbide inserts?
WBH10C is a coated CBN grade offering superior wear resistance and thermal stability compared with carbide, which gives a longer life when machining high-hardness materials with elevated contact temperatures.

Which insert geometry is used and why does it matter?
The rhombic 55° geometry provides a balance between cutting edge strength and accessibility for turning profiles, making it well suited to finishing and hard-turning applications where rigidity and surface integrity are priorities.

Is the insert compatible with standard toolholders?
The DCGW11T308TM-2 format follows common insert standards, so the insert can be mounted in compatible turning toolholders that accept this ISO-style geometry and thickness.

What are the expected benefits in production when switching to CBN inserts?
Switching to a CBN solution such as the Walter Tools WBH10C typically reduces tool change frequency, improves process stability and enhances surface finish on hardened components, yielding lower overall machining costs.
