TCGT16T304-FN2 WNN10 indexable insert for drilling/boring and turning — triangular 60°, 0.4 mm radius — Walter Tools

A TCGT16T304-FN2 WNN10 indexable insert designed for versatile turning and plunge‑drilling applications in machining centres and turret lathes, offering stable edge life and controlled chip formation for productive metalcutting.

• Triangular 60° geometry for robust indexing
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface quality
• 7° clearance angle for reliable chip evacuation
• Coated cemented carbide grade WNN10 for good wear resistance

Consistent edge life for predictable cycle times

The triangular insert geometry combined with the WNN10 coated cemented carbide creates a balance between toughness and wear resistance, delivering consistent edge life across repeating production runs. This predictability reduces unexpected tool changes and helps maintain planned cycle times. The insert’s construction supports stable cutting under varying feed and speed conditions, which translates to fewer interruptions and improved overall equipment effectiveness. For a clear match to workpiece materials, the specific material suitability should be checked against the product matrix.

Controlled chip formation improves surface finish

Equipped with the FN2 chipbreaker and a 0.4 mm corner radius, the insert promotes short, controlled chips and a smooth transition between passes. The chipformer is optimised to break swarf reliably in standard turning and light boring operations, lowering the risk of chip entanglement and improving operator safety. The moderate corner radius aids in achieving a high-quality surface without compromising tool strength, enabling finer finishes on semi‑finishing passes while maintaining tool life.

Geometry and clearance designed for secure clamping and access

The triangular 60° shape with a 7° clearance angle ensures secure seating in common toolholders and offers good access to interrupted cuts or complex contours. The thickness T3 and size 16 specification provide a stable platform against vibration, supporting repeatable dimensional accuracy. This geometry is particularly advantageous when frequent index changes are required, since each corner contributes to overall tool economy and quick re‑use without compromise to stability.

Practical selection and operational benefits

The insert’s design prioritises productivity: multiple usable edges, balanced wear resistance and a proven chip control system reduce process variability and support higher throughput. Although the grade is WNN10 (coated carbide), the exact suitability for specific alloys should be verified in the technical matrix; selecting the correct machining parameters and coolant strategy will further extend life and surface quality. The combination of features makes this insert a pragmatic choice for manufacturers seeking efficient, reliable tools for mixed turning and drilling tasks.

FAQ

What applications suit this indexable insert best?
The TCGT16T304-FN2 WNN10 insert is intended for combined turning and light drilling/boring tasks where controlled chip breakage and consistent edge life are required; check the product matrix for exact material matches.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
Each triangular insert provides three usable cutting corners; the geometry and coating support multiple re‑uses before regrinding or disposal.

Is the WNN10 grade suitable for stainless or hardened steels?
WNN10 is a coated carbide grade; material suitability varies — the TCGT16T304-FN2 WNN10 should be matched to the workpiece via the product matrix to confirm optimal performance.
