VCGT1103005M-FP2 WEP10C turning insert — FP2 chipbreaker, Rhombus 35°, Walter Tools

The VCGT1103005M-FP2 WEP10C is a rhombic 35° turning insert designed for precise finishing and semi-finishing applications within the Walter Cermet series; it pairs a cermet grade with an FP2 chipbreaker to support stable, repeatable machining.

• Cermet grade WEP10C for high wear resistance
• FP2 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombus 35° geometry for versatile turning
• Clearance angle 7° for secure cutting engagement

Consistent edge life and improved surface quality

The combination of the WEP10C cermet composition and the Walter Cermet series design delivers a stable cutting edge and enhanced surface finish in demanding finishing operations. Cermet materials are ceramic-metal composites that offer high hardness and thermal stability; this means the cutting edge retains its geometry longer under light to moderate cutting forces, reducing the need for frequent index changes and supporting consistent part quality over longer runs.

Predictable chip control and process stability

The integrated FP2 chipbreaker and the Rhombus 35° geometry are configured to produce short, controlled chips and to moderate cutting forces during turning. A 7° clearance angle reduces flank rubbing and helps maintain dimensional accuracy, while the FP2 chipbreaker improves swarf formation for safer, cleaner machining. Together these features enhance process reliability and help avoid vibration-induced surface imperfections.

Practical specifications for tool selection and inventory

Key format details simplify integration into standard toolholders and inventory systems: size 11, thickness 03, corner radius 0, and tolerance class G. Material information is catalogue-dependent, so suitability for specific workpiece materials should be verified against the manufacturer’s product matrix. The standardised ISO designation and geometry make the insert straightforward to match with existing tool bodies, promoting efficiency in setup and spare-part management for production environments.

FAQ

What types of machining suit this cermet grade?
The WEP10C cermet grade is intended for finishing and light semi-finishing in turning operations; suitability for particular workpiece materials should be checked in the product matrix for the VCGT1103005M-FP2 WEP10C insert from Walter Tools.

How does the FP2 chipbreaker influence chip formation?
The FP2 chipbreaker is designed to generate short, manageable chips during turning, improving swarf control and supporting a more stable machining process with fewer interruptions for clearing chips.

Which toolholders accept this insert geometry?
The rhombic 35° form is compatible with standard ISO toolholders designed for VCGT-style inserts; the specified size 11 and thickness 03 allow straightforward matching to commonly used turning tool bodies.

What does a corner radius of 0 mean for the application?
A corner radius 0 provides a sharp cutting edge that is advantageous for fine finishing and achieving tight tolerances; for heavier cuts or roughing, a larger radius is typically preferred, so selection should follow the machining strategy.

Who manufactures this insert and which series does it belong to?
The insert is part of the Walter Cermet series and is supplied by Walter Tools; the product is offered in the ISO-designated form VCGT1103005M-FP2 WEP10C.
