DCGW11T308TS-2 WBK20 Wendeplatten - Walter Tools

Take advantage of the combination of the CBN cutting grade WBK20, the Rhombus 55° geometry and a 0.8 mm corner radius to extend tool life and keep cutting performance stable in high‑wear turning operations; order or request tailored application advice via Metav Werkzeuge or ask for consultation.

DCGW11T308TS-2 WBK20 — Indexable turning insert, CBN grade, Rhombus 55° (Walter Tools)

The DCGW11T308TS-2 WBK20 is an indexable turning insert designed for wear‑resistant, hardened‑material machining in demanding production environments.

• CBN grade WBK20 for high wear resistance
• Rhombus 55° form for versatile turning
• 7° clearance for reliable cutting geometry
• 0.8 mm corner radius for stable edge strength

Longer tool life for hard and high‑wear materials

The CBN composition of the WBK20 grade is engineered for high wear resistance in applications where conventional carbides reach their limits. As a superabrasive solution, CBN maintains a sharp, stable cutting edge under elevated temperatures and abrasive contact, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes. This makes the insert especially suitable for hardened steels and other wear‑intensive materials; the specific applicability should be verified against the manufacturer’s product matrix to match the grade to the exact workpiece material.

Predictable surface finish and robust cutting geometry

The Rhombus 55° form combined with a 7° clearance and a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balanced compromise between edge strength and surface finish. The 55° approach angle supports versatile turning—from light finishing cuts to more aggressive profile turning—while the 0.8 mm radius increases edge stability for interrupted cuts and hard spots. These geometry choices enable consistent dimensional control and help reduce rework by producing predictable results even in long production runs.

Stable chip control and integration into turning systems

With a defined chipbreaker 2 and tolerance class G, the insert supports steady chip formation and repeatable seating in the toolholder. The T3 thickness and size 11 format suit compact turning tool assemblies where secure clamping and minimal overhang are required. The combination of chip control and dimensional tolerances promotes process reliability, which is essential for efficient batch production and reduced machine downtime. For optimal outcomes, match the insert’s grade and geometry to the cutting parameters and holder system used in each setup.

FAQ

What materials is this CBN insert suited for?
The DCGW11T308TS-2 WBK20 insert is intended primarily for hardened steels and other high‑wear materials; suitability for a specific workpiece should be checked against the Walter Tools product matrix.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and helps maintain surface finish during interrupted cuts, improving the insert’s resistance to chipping under heavy or variable loads.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
Yes—the Rhombus 55° geometry and defined clearance angle permit finishing and semi‑finishing operations when cutting parameters are adapted to the material and toolholder setup.

Is the insert compatible with standard turning holders?
The DCGW11T308TS-2 WBK20 follows common indexable insert dimensions and a T3 thickness; compatibility depends on the clamping system and seat design—verify holder specifications before use.

What is the role of the chipbreaker marked as 2?
Chipbreaker 2 is configured to promote controlled chip segmentation and evacuation in turning operations, supporting stability and reducing the risk of built‑up edge in long runs.
