TCGT16T308-FN2 WNN10 turning and boring indexable insert by Walter Tools — triangular 60° form with FN2 chipbreaker

The TCGT16T308-FN2 WNN10 is an indexable insert designed for turning and bore enlargement tasks, offering controlled chip formation and consistent cutting performance in a wide range of operations

• Triangle 60° geometry for stable support
• Chipbreaker FN2 for controlled chip formation
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for reproducible edge strength
• Coated carbide grade WNN10 for productive machining

Precision geometry for reliable productivity

The insert combines a triangle 60° form with a corner radius of 0.8 mm and a clearance angle of 7°, providing a stable seating and repeatable cutting edge engagement. These geometry choices translate into predictable cutting forces and improved process stability on the toolholder. The FN2 chipbreaker is engineered to deliver consistent chip control across interrupted and continuous cuts, supporting efficient material evacuation and reducing the risk of built-up edge. The designation TCGT16T308-FN2 WNN10 denotes the specific geometry and chip control concept incorporated in this grade.

Coated carbide grade that balances wear resistance and economy

The WNN10 grade is a coated carbide formulation from Walter Tools intended to offer a compromise between wear resistance and cost-effectiveness in general machining. The coating increases abrasive resistance and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge over extended tool life, while the substrate hardness provides toughness against chipping. Material suitability is determined by the product matrix; therefore, workpiece compatibility should be verified against the specific grade data. Where variability exists in catalogue listings, refer to the technical matrix for recommended cutting parameters and expected performance envelopes.

Practical dimensions and repeatable handling for workshop use

With a size of 16 mm and a nominal thickness T3, the insert fits common triangular pockets and enables quick replacement for high machine uptime. The compact form and standardised ISO-style designation simplify stock management and tool presetting. The geometry and chipbreaker support reproducible surface quality and edge life, which contributes to lower process costs and fewer unplanned tool changes. For operations that prioritise predictable performance, the combination of FN2 chip control and a controlled corner radius yields measurable improvements in cycle consistency.
