VCGT160402-FN2 WN10 indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — FN2 chipbreaker, rhombic 35°

The VCGT160402-FN2 WN10 is a rhombic 35° indexable turning insert designed for general turning operations where reliable chip formation and repeatable edge performance are required.

• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• FN2 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 7° relief angle for stable cutting
• Uncoated carbide grade WN10, robust performance

Consistent chip control for higher process stability

The combination of the FN2 chipbreaker and an open grade series provides controlled chip segmentation and evacuation, reducing the risk of entangling chips and improving cycle reliability. This insert’s geometry and chipformer are optimised to produce short to medium chips in a wide range of turning tasks; the result is fewer interruptions and more consistent cycle times. The controlled chip behaviour also supports safer handling and downstream automation, helping to maintain steady production flow.

Geometry tuned for precision and repeatability

A rhombic 35° shape with a small 0.2 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle gives the insert a balanced combination of profile accessibility and edge strength. The compact form allows close approach to shoulders and fine detail work, while the modest corner radius delivers a predictable cutting edge that contributes to uniform surface finish and dimensional repeatability. These geometric decisions reduce the need for frequent rework and support tighter process tolerances in batch production.

Material grade and series: predictable performance from an uncoated carbide

The WN10 grade is an uncoated cemented carbide in Walter Tools’ open series and is intended for general-purpose turning where an economical, wear-resistant cutting edge is required. The grade selection supports a broad material coverage but, as with all inserts, material suitability should be verified against the product matrix for specific workpiece materials and operating conditions. The uncoated nature of the grade often improves edge toughness in interrupted cuts and can be advantageous where coating-related heat effects are to be avoided.

FAQ

What cutting tasks is this insert best suited for?
The insert is designed for general turning tasks where controlled chip formation and reliable edge behaviour are priorities; the VCGT160402-FN2 WN10 excels in varied routine turning operations.

Is the grade suitable for stainless applications?
The WN10 grade is an uncoated cemented carbide; material suitability varies — please consult the product matrix to verify performance on specific workpiece materials before application.

How is chip formation affected by the FN2 chipbreaker?
The FN2 chipbreaker promotes short to medium chip formation and orderly evacuation, which improves process stability and reduces tool-related interruptions during turning.

Can this insert handle interrupted cuts?
The uncoated carbide nature of the WN10 grade offers improved edge toughness that can be advantageous in interrupted cuts, though cutting parameters should be adapted to the workpiece and machine conditions.
