DNGA150404EM-2 WBS10 indexable turning insert, CBN grade, Walter Tools

The DNGA150404EM-2 WBS10 is an indexable turning insert designed for hard-material turning tasks, offering a Rhombus 55° geometry and a CBN cutting grade for machining hardened steels and similarly abrasive materials.

• CBN grade WBS10 for hardened materials
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatile turning
• 0° negative rake for robust edge stability
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finish

High-performance wear resistance for hardened components

The CBN-based WBS10 grade delivers outstanding wear resistance in high-abrasion operations, making it suitable for the continuous machining of hardened steels and, depending on the grade, certain cast irons or superalloys. The insert’s CBN composition is engineered to resist flank wear and preserve the cutting edge during extended cycles, which reduces tool changes and supports predictable production pacing. In practice, this translates to fewer interruptions in series turning and a more consistent surface quality on hard parts.

Geometry engineered for stability and finish

The Rhombus 55° form combined with a 0° negative rake provides a balance between cutting action and edge protection: the geometry supports secure seating in toolholders while the negative rake increases edge strength for interrupted or unstable cuts. The 0.4 mm corner radius aids in achieving a refined surface finish without compromising edge robustness. The included chipbreaker 2 is optimised for controlled chip formation, improving evacuation in continuous cuts and contributing to repeatable machining results.

Practical attributes that aid process reliability

Built to tolerance class G, the insert supports consistent seating and dimensional repeatability across batches. Size and thickness codes (size 15, thickness 04) match common toolholder portfolios, easing inventory integration. The series: Walter CBN / Hartstoff indicates a manufacturing focus on hard-material applications; however, material suitability should be confirmed against the specific product matrix to ensure ideal performance for a given workpiece and cutting strategy.

Productivity advantages and application guidance

Adopting this CBN insert in hard-turning operations typically yields longer tool life and improved surface integrity compared with conventional carbide grades under equivalent conditions. The DNGA150404EM-2 WBS10 is particularly effective where edge wear and heat resistance are limiting factors. For best results, pair the insert with stable fixtures and appropriate coolant strategies where applicable, and consult the product matrix for feed and speed windows tailored to the machined material.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The DNGA150404EM-2 WBS10 uses a CBN cutting grade intended primarily for hardened steels and, depending on the specific grade, can be suitable for certain cast irons or superalloys; verify suitability in the product matrix for the best match.

How does the 0° negative rake affect machining behaviour?
A 0° negative rake increases edge strength and resistance to mechanical shock; with the DNGA150404EM-2 WBS10 this characteristic helps maintain edge integrity during interrupted cuts and under high contact stresses.

Is this insert suitable for interrupted or heavy cuts?
Yes. The combination of negative rake, robust CBN grade and the chipbreaker 2 design makes this insert appropriate for interrupted and demanding turning operations, providing stable cutting performance.

What benefit does the Rhombus 55° form provide?
The Rhombus 55° geometry offers a versatile cutting angle that is well suited to general turning tasks while permitting multiple indexing positions for economical use of the insert in various turning profiles.

What does tolerance class G mean for the user?
Tolerance class G indicates consistent manufacturing tolerances for dimensions and seating, supporting reliable fit in toolholders and repeatable positioning during indexable insert changes.
