TCGT16T304-FN2 WN10 — Turning and boring indexable insert, triangular 60°, FN2 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

A TCGT16T304-FN2 WN10 triangular insert designed for productive turning and boring operations, offering stable chip formation and a precise cutting edge for consistent component quality.

• Uncoated cemented carbide WN10 grade
• Triangular 60° insert, 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting
• FN2 chipbreaker for controlled chip flow

Consistent chip control for uninterrupted production

The combination of the FN2 chipbreaker and the WN10 uncoated cemented carbide enables predictable chip formation under a range of cutting conditions. Controlled chips reduce downtime from chip entanglement and make automated turning processes more reliable. The FN2 geometry is designed to direct and fracture chips effectively, which supports longer uninterrupted cycles and contributes directly to higher overall productivity on the shop floor.

Geometry tuned for repeatable surface quality

A triangular 60° form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance provides a robust geometry that balances edge strength with surface finish. The modest corner radius helps absorb intermittent load peaks while still allowing good dimensional control, making the insert suitable for finishing and medium-duty turning tasks. The insert thickness designation T3 and the 16 mm seat size ensure secure clamping and repeatable tool positioning for consistent results across batches.

Material and grade suited for broad machining tasks

The insert is supplied in the WN10 grade — an uncoated cemented carbide intended for general machining where a reliable, economical cutting grade is required. This grade performs well in standard steels and common ferrous materials (verify suitability against the product matrix for specific alloys). The open series design supports flexible application choices and straightforward grade selection when matching cutting parameters to component requirements, helping to streamline tool management and reduce inventory complexity.

Practical advantages for the workshop

Tolerance class G and the compact triangular form enable quick index changes and stable cutting even in interrupted cuts. The insert’s design reduces the need for frequent edge changes and supports predictable tool life, which lowers process risk and simplifies production planning. Where process stability and efficient chip evacuation are priorities, this insert offers a pragmatic balance between economy and performance, compatible with automated and manual turning setups.
