VBGW110304TM-2 WBH10 – Indexable turning insert for hard machining, Walter Tools

The VBGW110304TM-2 WBH10 is an indexable turning insert designed for high-wear machining of hardened steels and comparable hard materials, offering a CBN grade for extended tool life and repeatable performance

• CBN grade WBH10 for hard machining
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• 5° clearance with 0.4 mm nose radius
• Suitable for hardened steels and pre-hardened materials

Outstanding wear resistance for hard turning

The CBN-based WBH10 grade delivers exceptional wear resistance where conventional carbides fail, specifically tailored for hardened steels and heavy-duty finishing operations. By using a cubic boron nitride cutting material, the insert sustains high temperatures and abrasive contact without rapid degradation, which means fewer tool changes and more consistent component quality. This results in a measurable increase in process stability and a reduction in unplanned downtime, making the component choice particularly effective for shops that process heat-treated workpieces or need repeatable batch results.

Geometry that stabilises cutting and improves surface quality

The rhombic 35° shape combined with a 5° clearance and 0.4 mm nose radius provides a balance between accessibility and cutting-edge strength. The slender approach of the rhombic geometry allows for versatile turning positions while the defined nose radius supports smooth transitions and improved surface finish on the workpiece. A moderate radius reduces cutting forces compared with larger radii and helps maintain dimensional accuracy in finishing passes. The insert’s tolerance class G underlines its suitability for precision tasks where repeatability is required.

Practical benefits and application guidance

This insert is part of the Walter CBN / Hartstoff series and includes an integrated chipbreaker 2, optimised for chip control in hard materials. For practical machining, the insert performs best at steady cutting conditions and is particularly effective in operations where abrasive wear dominates. Choosing a CBN grade minimises flank wear and thermal deformation, delivering a predictable tool life that supports production planning. Where material specifications indicate pre-hardened or hardened steel, this insert is a productive choice for finishing and semi-finishing cycles.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The VBGW110304TM-2 WBH10 insert (Walter Tools, CBN grade) is intended for hardened steels and pre-hardened materials, offering high wear resistance in abrasive cutting conditions.

How does the rhombic 35° shape affect machining? The rhombic 35° geometry enables flexible turning positions and good access to the workpiece while maintaining edge strength; it supports stable cutting and improved surface finish for finishing passes.

Is the insert suitable for finishing operations? Yes, the CBN composition and the 0.4 mm nose radius of this insert make it particularly well suited for finishing and semi-finishing of hard components, delivering consistent surface quality.

What does tolerance class G mean for production? Tolerance class G indicates a precise manufacturing tolerance of the insert, supporting repeatable seating and predictable part dimensions across insert indexings.

Can this insert reduce tool change frequency? Due to the wear resistance of the WBH10 CBN grade, this insert typically extends tool life compared with carbide alternatives, which can reduce the frequency of tool changes in hard-machining applications.
