VBGW160408TS-2 WBH10 – Indexable turning insert, CBN grade for hard turning, Walter Tools

VBGW160408TS-2 WBH10 is an indexable turning insert designed for hard and pre-hardened steels, offering a robust solution for hardened-material machining with a Rhombic 35° geometry.

• CBN grade WBH10 for hard turning
• Rhombic 35° geometry
• 5° clearance angle
• 0.8 mm corner radius

Exceptional wear resistance for hardened steels

The CBN-based grade WBH10 delivers significantly improved tool life when machining hardened steels, thanks to the intrinsic abrasion resistance of CBN. The insert’s engineered cutting edge reduces flank wear and maintains cutting performance over extended cycles, which supports longer uninterrupted runs and fewer insert changes. The result is a measurable increase in productivity and a lower cost per component when processing hard materials.

Consistent surface finish and reliable chip control

The Rhombus 35° shape combined with the engineered chipbreaker promotes stable chip formation and predictable cutting forces. A controlled chipflow reduces the risk of workpiece damage and simplifies downstream handling, while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with surface integrity. For shops aiming for repeatable finishes on hard parts, this insert offers improved process security and consistent, high-quality results.

Practical integration into turning operations

As an indexable turning insert with a compact profile (code size 16, thickness code 04) and a small 5° clearance, the insert fits common turning holders and is suitable for contouring and finishing on hardened components. Selection of the WBH10 grade is particularly advantageous where tool life and dimensional stability are priorities. Integration requires standard indexable insert handling; the insert’s geometry facilitates predictable toolpath planning and reliable seat seating in compatible toolholders.

Efficiency and machining economy

Using CBN inserts for hard turning reduces the need for grinding or costly finishing passes by enabling effective metal removal and superior dimensional control in one set-up. The combination of high wear resistance and stable edge integrity leads to fewer interruptions for tool changes and less variability in part quality, which pays off across batch production and precision jobbing alike.
