TCGT16T304-MN2 WN10 – triangle 60° indexable insert, MN2 chipbreaker by Walter Tools

The TCGT16T304-MN2 WN10 is a triangular 60° indexable insert designed for drilling, boring and light turning operations, supplied in an uncoated cemented carbide grade (WN10) for versatile machining across a wide range of applications

• Triangle 60° form for secure seating
• MN2 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Uncoated carbide WN10 for broad material range

Secure seating for repeatable accuracy and tool life

The triangular 60° geometry provides a compact 60° seating that enhances clamping stability and contributes to repeatable positioning at the toolholder interface. A defined 0.4 mm corner radius gives controlled edge strength without compromising form, so the cutting edge resists chipping under intermittent loads. This combination reduces the need for frequent index changes and supports a steady production rhythm, delivering measurable improvements in process reliability.

Consistent chip formation and manageable swarf

The integrated MN2 chipbreaker has been developed to shape chips predictably during interrupted and continuous cuts. Controlled chip formation reduces the risk of chip entanglement in drilling or boring operations and eases disposal in turning cycles, which in turn lowers the likelihood of surface damage and shortens secondary cleaning time. Improved chip control contributes directly to operational uptime and consistent surface quality.

Material grade and application flexibility

The insert is supplied in the uncoated cemented carbide grade WN10, an open-series grade intended for general machining tasks. As an uncoated carbide solution, it offers good edge stability and is especially suitable where coating sensitivity or specific workpiece materials require a bare substrate. Check the product matrix for precise suitability; when matched correctly, the grade supports efficient machining across a range of common alloys and workshop tasks.

Geometry and handling that simplify setup

With a plate size of 16 and a plate thickness denoted as T3, the insert fits common toolholder systems for drilling and turning operations, while the 7° relief angle helps to reduce rubbing on the flank and minimise cutting forces. These geometric choices make the insert straightforward to mount and orient, shortening setup time and enabling consistent repeatability across tool changes. Clear geometry also assists in predicting cutting behaviour for process planning.
