VCGT160404-FN2 VCGT160404-FN2 WN10 Walter Tools — Rhombus 35° turning insert with FN2 chipbreaker

A VCGT160404-FN2 WN10 indexable turning insert designed for general turning applications where reliable edge stability and controlled chip formation are required

• Rhombus 35° geometry for versatile turning
• FN2 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Uncoated carbide grade WN10, catalogue-dependent

Stable cutting performance from an uncoated grade

The open-series WN10 grade is an uncoated carbide formulation optimised for steady cutting performance and economical use in production environments. As an indexable turning solution, this insert combines a robust cutting edge with a simple disposal cycle that supports predictable process costs and minimal machine downtime. The design prioritises wear resistance and repeatability so that cycle times remain consistent across batches; verify the specific material suitability in the manufacturer’s product matrix to ensure the best match for the chosen workpiece material.

Geometry that improves surface quality and reduces rework

The Rhombus 35° profile together with a 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° clearance contributes to a favourable cutting angle and reduced radial cutting forces, which helps to achieve improved surface finish and dimensional consistency. The integrated FN2 chipbreaker is engineered to promote short, manageable chips in many turning conditions, lowering the risk of entanglement and contributing to safer, more efficient machining cycles. These geometry choices result in less reworking and higher first-pass yield on turned components.

Practical integration and application guidance for shops

The insert’s ISO-style designation supports integration with standard VCGT-style toolholders, simplifying tool inventory and changeover routines. Given that the material is listed as catalogue-dependent, the production planner should consult the product matrix when selecting the correct grade for steel, cast iron or non-ferrous materials. For machine shops seeking tailored process recommendations or confirmation of compatibility with specific toolholders and cutting parameters, Metav Werkzeuge provides application advice and can supply batch quantities or milling of matching toolholders to complement the insert.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
Material suitability must be checked in the product matrix; the WN10 grade of the VCGT160404-FN2 WN10 insert is an uncoated carbide formulation intended for broad use, but confirmation per workpiece material is advised.

How does the FN2 chipbreaker affect chip control?
The FN2 chipbreaker on the insert promotes shorter, controllable chips under many turning conditions, improving safety and reducing the need for manual chip management.

Is the Rhombus 35° geometry suitable for finishing operations?
Yes; the Rhombus 35° profile combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius supports fine finishing by lowering cutting forces and enhancing surface quality.

Can this insert be used with standard VCGT toolholders?
The VCGT designation aligns with common ISO-style toolholders; verify holder compatibility and clamping specifications before mounting.

Are coated versions of this grade available?
This specific item is listed as WN10 uncoated carbide; for coated alternatives or different grades, consult the manufacturer’s range and the product matrix for matching performance requirements.
