VCGT130304-MN2 WN10 — Turning indexable insert, rhombic 35° (Walter Tools)

VCGT130304-MN2 WN10 is an indexable turning insert intended for general turning operations where reliable chip control and repeatable performance are required

• VCGT130304-MN2: Rhombic 35° insert
• Corner radius 0.4 mm for consistent finishes
• MN2 chipbreaker for predictable chip formation
• WN10 uncoated carbide for broad workpiece coverage

Precision geometry for predictable machining outcomes

The rhombic 35° geometry combined with a 7° clearance angle ensures stable cutting engagement and reduced cutting forces, which leads to improved tool life and dimensional consistency. The 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish, making the insert suitable for semi-finishing and general turning tasks. By choosing an insert with this geometry and radius, process planners gain greater control over cutting conditions and can maintain tighter tolerances with fewer tool changes.

Chip control and process security

Equipped with the MN2 chipbreaker, this insert delivers improved chip segmentation and evacuation in a wide range of turning operations. The defined chipforming features reduce the risk of chip entanglement and contribute to repeatable cycle times on CNC lathes. For production environments where uptime and process security matter, the combination of dedicated chip control and stable geometry supports consistent part quality and less operator intervention during unattended cycles.

Material suitability and grade characteristics

The insert is supplied in the WN10 grade, an uncoated carbide composition intended for versatile use across common materials; users should verify the specific applicability against the manufacturer's product matrix for optimal results. The uncoated nature of the grade can be advantageous where built-up edge or thermal sensitivity of the workpiece is a concern, offering straightforward reconditioning and predictable wear behaviour. For applications requiring higher temperature resistance or extended life, coated grades may be considered as alternatives.

Handling, indexing and workshop benefits

The insert designation and size make it straightforward to index and replace within standard insert clamping systems: the compact profile simplifies toolholder selection and minimises setup time. Because the insert is an indexable type, each edge can be rotated to present a fresh cutting corner, lowering per-edge cost and supporting efficient inventory management. Clear labelling and standardised geometry help maintain a consistent tooling strategy across multiple machines and operators.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WN10 grade of this turning insert is intended for a broad range of common materials; specific applicability should be checked in the Walter Tools product matrix for the best match to the workpiece.

How does the MN2 chipbreaker affect machining performance?
The MN2 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip segmentation, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of chip-related interruptions during turning operations with the VCGT130304-MN2 insert.

Can the insert be indexed to use multiple cutting edges?
Yes, this indexable insert is designed for multi-edge use; rotating to a fresh corner extends usable life and reduces tooling costs compared with single-edge solutions.

Is the VCGT130304-MN2 suitable for finishing passes?
With a 0.4 mm corner radius the insert is well suited to semi-finishing and general turning; for fine finishing, users may select a smaller radius or a grade optimised for surface quality.
