TCGW16T308FS-1 WDN10 – Triangular PKD indexable insert for turning and boring by Walter Tools

The TCGW16T308FS-1 WDN10 is a triangular PKD indexable insert engineered for high‑precision turning and drilling/boring tasks on abrasive, non‑ferrous materials.

• PKD grade WDN10 for abrasive non‑ferrous materials
• Triangular 60° geometry for secure seating
• 0.8 mm corner radius for consistent surface finish

Maximise tool life and process economy with PKD performance

This PKD grade WDN10 insert is designed to deliver high wear resistance in demanding applications. The polykristalliner diamant (PKD) cutting layer offers exceptional hardness and thermal stability, which reduces flank wear and extends edge life compared with conventional carbide grades. For production environments where tool change time and repeatability affect output, the result is a lower cost per finished component and fewer interruptions to the machining cycle.

Achieve consistent surface quality through defined geometry

The triangular 60° shape and a 0.8 mm corner radius combine to provide predictable cutting forces and a reliable contact zone in the tool holder. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing on the flank and helps maintain a clean shear plane, while the integrated chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation on thin, abrasive workpieces. For users unfamiliar with technical terms: the corner radius influences surface finish and tool strength, the clearance angle prevents unwanted friction, and the chipbreaker shapes chips to avoid entangling or damaging the component.

Clear application guidance and integration into production

This insert is particularly suitable for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials where PKD excels, such as certain aluminium alloys and other non‑ferrous, abrasive blends—always verify compatibility with the material matrix before series production. The indexable insert format enables rapid turnover and repeatable clamping, supporting short set‑up times and consistent part quality across batches. For specialised processes or verification of suitability, technical consultation is recommended to match cutting data and holder selection to the workpiece material.

FAQ

Which materials are suitable for this insert?
The TCGW16T308FS-1 WDN10 from Walter Tools is intended for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials; compatibility should be checked against the material matrix before production.

How does the PKD coating affect tool life?
PKD (polykristalliner diamant) on the WDN10 grade provides very high wear resistance, which typically extends edge life and reduces frequency of index changes in abrasive non‑ferrous machining.

What does the 0.8 mm corner radius mean for surface finish?
A 0.8 mm corner radius balances strength and finish quality; the radius supports a stable cutting edge that produces consistent surface results while resisting edge chipping.

Is this insert suitable for both turning and boring operations?
The designation indicates suitability for turning and drilling/boring applications; appropriate holder selection and cutting parameters are required for each operation.

What tolerance class is this insert manufactured to?
The insert is produced to tolerance class G, ensuring consistent dimensional conformity for precision clamping and repeatability.
