TPGW16T308FS-1 WDN10 — indexable turning insert (PKD), triangular 60° — Walter Tools

TPGW16T308FS-1 WDN10 is an indexable turning insert designed for production machining of abrasive, non‑ferrous materials, combining a PKD grade with a compact, precise form.

• PKD grade WDN10 for abrasive non‑ferrous materials
• Triangular 60° shape for versatile cutting positions
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for consistent edge strength
• 11° free angle and T3 thickness for stable cutting

Exceptional wear resistance for abrasive non‑ferrous workpieces

The insert is manufactured in a polycrystalline diamond (PKD) grade WDN10, which delivers markedly higher wear resistance than conventional carbide for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials. PKD consists of a diamond layer sintered onto a substrate that resists abrasive wear and preserves cutting geometry over long runs; this results in fewer tool changes and improved process uptime. The material choice makes the insert especially suitable for machining applications where tool life and surface integrity are critical, such as high‑volume aluminium‑silicon alloys, graphite‑reinforced composites and other non‑ferrous abrasive components.

Stable cutting geometry and improved surface quality

The 60° triangular form and a corner radius of 0.8 mm provide a robust edge that balances cutting strength and finish. Combined with the 11° free angle and the specified chipbreaker 1, the geometry promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of chip recutting and vibration. As a result, operators can expect consistent workpiece surfaces and predictable tool performance. The insert’s tolerance class G ensures repeatable seating in most standard toolholders, supporting dimensional accuracy and minimising set‑up variation.

Integration, handling and application guidance for production use

Marked as TPGW16T308FS-1, the insert features a T3 thickness suited to many standard turning toolholders and clamping systems; compatibility should be verified against the specific toolholder catalogue. The WDN10 grade belongs to the Walter open series and is intended for production scenarios where abrasive non‑ferrous materials demand long‑lasting cutting performance. For optimal results, verify the product matrix for workpiece‑and‑cutting‑condition suitability and consider toolpath and coolant strategies adapted to PKD behaviour. If clarification is required on holder match or machining parameters, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical team can advise by email or phone.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TPGW16T308FS-1 WDN10 insert uses a PKD grade designed primarily for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials; check the product matrix for confirmation against specific alloys and composites.

Is the insert suitable for finishing or roughing operations?
With a 0.8 mm corner radius and PKD cutting edge, the insert suits both stable finishing and medium roughing where abrasive wear is the limiting factor; feed and depth should be adjusted to the component and machine capability.

How does the PKD grade affect tool life compared to carbide?
PKD in the WDN10 grade offers significantly higher wear resistance on abrasive non‑ferrous materials than carbide, which typically extends tool life and reduces changeover frequency for the same cutting conditions.

Can the TPGW16T308FS-1 be used in common toolholders?
The TPGW16T308FS-1 format and tolerance class G are compatible with many standard turning toolholders; verify holder compatibility and clamping details before assembly.

Where to check suitability for a specific component material?
Refer to the product matrix and machining data from Walter Tools for grade‑to‑material recommendations; Metav Werkzeuge can provide application guidance if required.
