VCGT160404-MN2 WN10 Drehwendeschneidplatte – Rhombic 35°, MN2 chipbreaker by Walter Tools

VCGT160404-MN2 WN10 is a rhombic indexable insert designed for precision turning and versatile general machining applications

• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• MN2 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 0.4 mm corner radius for consistent surface finish
• Uncoated carbide grade WN10 for general machining

Increased productivity through optimised cutting geometry

The VCGT160404-MN2 WN10 insert combines a rhombic 35° geometry with a MN2 chipbreaker, delivering a balance of cutting stability and flexible approach angles. The smaller included angle enables effective profiling and light to medium turning tasks while keeping cutting forces moderate, which supports stable tool life and repeatable results. The 0.4 mm corner radius aids in producing consistent surface finishes without sacrificing edge strength. For manufacturing environments that prioritise cycle time and repeatability, the geometric package reduces the need for frequent adjustments and helps maintain productivity across series production.

Clear benefits from the cutting material and chip control

This turning insert is supplied in uncoated carbide grade WN10, a class described as uncoated hardmetal in the product matrix. The combination of the grade and the MN2 chipbreaker is aimed at predictable chip formation and evacuation under typical turning feeds. For operations where coolant strategy and machine rigidity vary, the uncoated grade offers a straightforward baseline: it favours applications where coating adhesion or higher-temperature resistance is not required, while still enabling efficient cutting for a broad material spectrum when the product matrix confirms suitability. The description of the cutting grade advises checking the specific product matrix to determine the best match for the workpiece material.

Consistent handling and compatibility in workshop routines

The insert’s VCGT form and size enable compatibility with standard toolholder systems designed for this format, facilitating straightforward replacement and inventory management. The clear identification of dimensions and relief — including the 7° free angle — simplifies tooling decisions and minimises setup variation between shifts. By standardising on an insert with known geometry and chip control characteristics, workshops can reduce process variance, simplify operator instruction and increase the predictability of finishing results. The combination of precise geometry and a robust edge design supports reliable part-to-part consistency in batch production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCGT160404-MN2 WN10 insert from Walter Tools is supplied as an uncoated carbide grade; suitability for specific workpiece materials should be verified in the product matrix and by matching machining parameters to the grade characteristics.

What are the critical geometry specifications to consider?
Key dimensions are the Rhombic 35° form, 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° relief (free) angle; these parameters govern approach angle, edge strength and clearance during turning.

How does the MN2 chipbreaker influence machining?
The MN2 chipbreaker is designed to promote controlled chip formation and evacuation during typical turning operations, supporting consistent surface quality and reduced risk of chip entanglement.

Will this insert fit standard VCGT toolholders?
The insert is produced in the VCGT form factor and is intended for holders compatible with VCGT-format indexable inserts; full compatibility should be confirmed with the chosen toolholder specifications.
