VCGT160402-FN2 WNN10 – Indexable turning insert, Rhombic 35°, 0.2 mm corner radius — Walter Tools

VCGT160402-FN2 WNN10 is a coated carbide indexable insert designed for general turning tasks where consistent chip formation and reliable edge life are required, featuring an FN2 chipbreaker and rhombic 35° geometry.

• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.2 mm corner radius for accurate profiles
• Chipbreaker FN2 optimised for stable chip control
• Coated carbide grade WNN10 for consistent wear resistance

Productive chip control for steady metal removal

The insert’s chipbreaker FN2 is designed to promote short, controlled chips across a range of cutting conditions, which reduces interruptions and improves process stability. Controlled chip formation lowers the risk of tool damage and workpiece re-cutting, resulting in fewer machine stops and more reliable cycle times. For manufacturers seeking predictable productivity, the combination of an optimised chipformer and a coated carbide grade supports uninterrupted turning operations and easier chip handling at the machine.

Durability and coating that support repeatable results

The WNN10 grade denotes a coated carbide cutting material intended for reliable wear resistance and repeatable performance in appropriate applications. Coatings enhance substrate hardness and thermal resistance, helping to extend tool life under typical turning conditions. Users should consult the product matrix to confirm suitability for specific workpiece materials; where the application matches the grade’s strengths, the insert delivers consistent edge retention and reproducible surface quality over longer tool cycles.

Geometry and edge design that improve surface finish

The rhombic 35° shape together with a 0.2 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle balances accessibility to tight profiles with adequate edge strength. A small corner radius helps achieve finer profiles and improved surface finish on interrupted or light finishing cuts, while the relief angle reduces rubbing and promotes a cleaner shear. These geometric choices make the insert suitable for applications where dimensional accuracy and surface quality are priorities, especially in batch production and mixed-series turning.

Integration into tooling systems and practical advice

The insert’s designation and form make it compatible with common indexable holders configured for rhombic 35° inserts; selecting a holder with correct clamping and seat accuracy will preserve the 0.2 mm edge integrity and maintain repeatability. When specifying toolpaths and feeds, aim for stable cutting conditions to exploit the chipbreaker advantages and extend edge life. If uncertainty arises about material compatibility or cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge’s application consultants can provide tailored guidance to match the insert to the machining task.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNN10 grade is a coated carbide developed for general turning; suitability depends on the specific workpiece material matrix, so verify the product matrix before selection.

How does the FN2 chipbreaker affect machining?
The chipbreaker FN2 promotes short, controlled chips which improve process stability and reduce the likelihood of chip-related interruptions during turning.

Can the VCGT160402-FN2 WNN10 be used for finishing passes?
Yes; the 0.2 mm corner radius and rhombic geometry support fine profiles and improved surface finish on finishing or light machining operations.

What does the thickness code "04" mean for toolholders?
Thickness code 04 identifies the insert’s profile within ISO sizing conventions; confirm holder compatibility with the base designation to ensure secure clamping and repeatability.

Is cutting data provided with the insert?
Typical cutting data depend on material and machine; Metav Werkzeuge offers application advice to define suitable speeds and feeds for the VCGT160402-FN2 WNN10 insert.
