VCGT130304-MN2 WNN10 turning insert — Rhombic 35° with MN2 chipbreaker, 7° clearance — Walter Tools

VCGT130304-MN2 WNN10 is a coated carbide turning insert designed for general turning applications where consistent chip formation and robust edge performance are required

• Coated carbide grade WNN10
• Rhombic 35° geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius
• MN2 chipbreaker for controlled chips

Reliable chip control for uninterrupted production

The insert’s coated carbide grade (WNN10) combined with the MN2 chipbreaker delivers controlled chip formation, reducing interruptions in high-volume turning processes. This combination improves machining stability by guiding chips away from the cutting edge and workpiece, which helps to maintain consistent cutting conditions and extend tool life. The result is a measurable improvement in process reliability for repetitive turning operations in production environments.

Geometry that balances versatility and precision

The rhombic 35° geometry provides a versatile approach to profiling and turning tasks, allowing efficient access to shoulders and simple profiling operations while maintaining a stable cutting edge. The modest 0.4 mm corner radius improves edge strength and reduces risk of chipping during interrupted cuts, while the 7° clearance supports favourable cutting angles that enhance surface finish and reduce rubbing. These geometric choices give a practical balance between accuracy and robustness for mixed-series work.

Coating and grade: why the right carbide matters

The insert is supplied in the Walter WNN10 coated carbide family, a coated hardmetal grade intended for broad applicability. Coatings reduce abrasive wear and help preserve the cutting edge under elevated temperatures. For best results, the WNN10 grade should be matched to the specific workpiece material using the manufacturer’s product matrix; this ensures the coating and substrate are appropriate for the intended application and cutting parameters.

Integration, tolerance and selection guidance

Tolerance class G and the standard thickness and size coding facilitate straightforward integration into existing tool holders and indexable systems. The insert’s code relates to industry-standard sizes, making replacement and inventory management simpler. For materials and machining tasks where suitability is unclear, consult the product matrix or Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisers to select the correct grade and geometry for optimal productivity and surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is the insert suitable for?
The suitability of the VCGT130304-MN2 WNN10 insert for a specific material should be verified against the Walter Tools product matrix; the grade WNN10 is a coated carbide designed for broad application, but exact workpiece compatibility depends on the material and cutting conditions.

Can this insert be used for finishing operations?
Yes, the rhombic 35° geometry combined with the 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° clearance enables good surface finishes for many turning tasks, provided the cutting parameters are set appropriately for the VCGT130304-MN2 WNN10 and the chosen workpiece.

Is the chipbreaker suitable for long, continuous cuts?
The MN2 chipbreaker is engineered to promote stable chip flow and is well suited to continuous turning where consistent chip control contributes to process reliability and fewer interruptions.

How does the WNN10 coating affect tool life?
The WNN10 coating improves wear resistance and thermal stability compared with uncoated substrates; when paired with correct feeds and speeds, the coating helps to extend the effective tool life of the insert.

Are there specific holders required for this insert form?
The rhombic 35° form and standard size coding mean the VCGT130304-MN2 WNN10 is compatible with common indexable insert holders designed for this geometry; confirm holder compatibility by matching the insert code and thickness.
