SCGT120408-MN2 WN10 turning insert (Square 90°, MN2 chipbreaker) – Walter Tools

SCGT120408-MN2 WN10 is a square-indexable turning insert designed for general turning tasks where predictable chip formation and reproducible performance are required.

• Uncoated cemented carbide WN10
• Square 90° geometry for robust shoulder turning
• MN2 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• 0.8 mm corner radius for edge stability

Consistent geometry for predictable results

The square 90° geometry combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge that resists chatter and supports shoulder operations. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing and helps to maintain steady cutting forces, which contributes directly to repeatable part quality. By choosing an insert with standardised geometry and tolerance class G, process planners benefit from consistent seating in negative-style toolholders and predictable engagement behaviour during serial production.

Practical grade and economical performance

The WN10 designation denotes an uncoated cemented carbide grade intended for broad, general-purpose turning; it balances cost and wear resistance for many routine jobs. As an uncoated grade, this insert can be preferable where oxidation or coating interactions are a concern, or where light reconditioning is part of the process. Checking the manufacturer’s product matrix is recommended to confirm suitability for specific workpiece materials and cutting conditions; the grade is aimed at delivering good overall economy and straightforward tool management.

Chip control that stabilises the process

The integrated MN2 chipbreaker is engineered to break and direct chips reliably under a range of cutting parameters, reducing the risk of long, stringy chips that complicate handling and inspection. Controlled chips improve operator safety, minimise interruptions for chip clearing and support higher process uptime. The insert’s 12 mm size and the thickness code 04 combine with the chipbreaker geometry to ensure a balance between edge strength and the chip-formation behaviour expected in routine turning cycles.

Easy integration and handling in the shop

The insert follows standard ISO-style designation conventions, which simplifies selection for holders compatible with negative square inserts. The nominal dimensions and tolerance class enable straightforward replacement and predictable seating, reducing setup time during tool changeovers. With its uncomplicated design and proven material class, the indexable cutting element suits batch production and mixed-series environments where reliable interchangeability and downtime reduction are priorities.

FAQ

What workpiece materials is this insert suitable for?
Suitability depends on the manufacturer’s product matrix; the WN10 grade is an uncoated cemented carbide intended for general turning tasks, so material compatibility should be verified against the specific cutting data for the intended workpiece.

How does the MN2 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MN2 chipbreaker promotes segmented, controllable chips across a range of feeds, improving chip evacuation and reducing the likelihood of entangling or long continuous chips that disturb the process.

What does the thickness code "04" mean?
The code indicates the standardised thickness designation for this insert family; exact nominal thickness corresponds to the ISO/series specification and should be cross-checked with the toolholder and technical drawing for precise assembly.

Which toolholder type is required for this insert designation?
The SCGT-style designation corresponds to negative-square indexable inserts; the insert fits holders designed for SCGT inserts with a 90° nose profile and the specified clamping method.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius influence finished parts?
A 0.8 mm corner radius provides a compromise between strength and surface finish: it enhances edge robustness for interrupted cuts while producing a moderate contour that can improve surface integrity versus very sharp radii.
