TCGT16T308-MN2 WN10 turning insert (Triangle 60°) by Walter Tools

The TCGT16T308-MN2 WN10 is a triangular turning insert designed for general-purpose external turning and finishing where a robust edge and predictable chip formation are required.

• Triangle 60° insert for strong clamping
• 0.8 mm corner radius for stable edge life
• MN2 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• 7° clearance angle for reliable cutting geometry

High-efficiency cutting performance for stable production

The triangular indexable insert delivers predictable chip formation through its MN2 chipbreaker, enabling steady machining cycles and reduced interruption time. Manufactured in an uncoated carbide grade (WN10), the cutter is optimised for general turning tasks where consistent edge behaviour is valued. The 0.8 mm corner radius contributes to improved tool life under moderate feed rates and supports dimensional stability on long runs. Such characteristics translate into measurable productivity gains and simpler process control for shops seeking reliable turn-milling operations.

Consistent geometry and handling for dependable results

With a 60° triangle form and a standard 7° clearance angle, the insert provides secure seating in triangular toolholders and stable cutting directions. The T3 plate thickness and tolerance class G ensure repeatable fitment and minimal backlash when exchanging inserts, reducing setup time and improving reproducibility across batches. These geometric features lower the risk of unexpected vibration and support consistent surface finishes, making the insert suitable for systematic production environments and mixed-batch manufacturing.

Material choice and application guidance for confident selection

The insert is offered in the WN10 uncoated carbide range; users should verify the grade-to-material matrix for optimal performance. Where catalogue-dependent variants apply, consult the product matrix to confirm suitability for specific workpiece materials. The combination of chip control, a moderate corner radius and robust triangular geometry makes the insert a practical option for shops prioritising uptime and straightforward process parameters rather than specialised high-speed finishing. For advice on matching the grade to particular components, technical consultation is recommended.
