DNGA150608TM-M2 WBH10 — Indexable turning insert, CBN grade for hard machining — Walter Tools

The DNGA150608TM-M2 WBH10 is an indexable turning insert engineered for high-wear applications, primarily the hard turning of hardened steels and similar difficult-to-machine materials.

• CBN grade WBH10 for extreme wear resistance
• Rhombus 55° geometry for stable cutting
• 0.8 mm corner radius for reliable edge strength
• Negative rake 0° for heavy interrupted cuts

Optimised for hard machining performance

The insert's core advantage is its CBN cutting material, presented here in the WBH10 grade and developed for demanding hard-turning tasks. As a member of the Walter CBN / hard-material series, this grade offers pronounced resistance to abrasive wear and maintains cutting-edge integrity under high specific energy conditions. The designation H indicates suitability for hardened steels, which require particularly wear-resistant grades; where material and process permit, the geometry also tolerates certain castings and superalloys. The result is a reduction in frequent index changes and a predictable tool-life profile, supporting a steady production flow.

Geometry engineered for stable cutting and edge security

The Rhombus 55° form combines good accessibility with robust clamping stability, while the negative rake 0° contributes to a stronger cutting edge for interrupted or heavy cuts. The moderate 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with achievable surface finish, making the insert a pragmatic choice where repeatable dimensional control and resistance to chipping are priorities. The integrated chipbreaker M2 promotes controlled chip formation, reducing the risk of unstable chips in interrupted turns and helping to maintain consistent cutting forces and surface quality.

Increased process reliability and application focus

The insert's specification — tolerance class G and execution A — supports consistent fitting and repeatable seating in standard toolholders. As an indexable solution, the plate contributes to reduced set-up times and predictable exchange intervals in series production. By pairing the DNGA150608TM-M2 geometry with the WBH10 CBN grade, shops achieve a balance between wear resistance and machining economy when processing pre-hardened and hardened workpieces. This combination enhances throughput and lowers the incidence of unplanned tool changes, supporting measurable improvements in process uptime and component quality.
