VCGT160404-MN2 WNN10 – Indexable turning insert, MN2 chipbreaker, 7° clearance (Walter Tools)

A VCGT160404-MN2 WNN10 insert engineered for general turning tasks, delivering controlled chip formation and repeatable edge stability in a compact rhombic 35° form.

• Coated carbide grade WNN10 for general turning
• MN2 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 7° clearance angle for reliable cutting security
• Rhombic 35° shape with 0.4 mm corner radius

Predictable chip control for efficient machining

The insert’s MN2 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, consistent chips that reduce the risk of entanglement and assist in automated chip evacuation. That controlled chip formation translates into fewer interruptions on the shopfloor and improved cycle-time stability. The combination of a coated carbide grade and a specific chip geometry keeps cutting forces predictable, which helps stabilise feeds and speeds across different setups.

Geometry that supports surface quality and tool life

A rhombic 35° shape with a 0.4 mm corner radius offers a balanced compromise between edge strength and finishing capability. The modest corner radius reduces the likelihood of corner chipping while enabling decent surface finishes at moderate feeds. With a 7° clearance angle, the insert minimises rubbing on the flank face, lowering heat input and contributing to prolonged edge retention over extended production runs.

Compact dimensions for versatile toolholder use

The insert measures 16 mm with a plate thickness of 0.4 mm, making it suitable for rigid toolholders and space-limited setups where stability is essential. Its standard VCGT160404-MN2 geometry is widely supported by common toolholder systems, allowing rapid integration into existing turning fixtures without major fixturing changes. The concise format helps maintain rigidity and repeatability in short overhang applications.

Coated grade and series guidance for application matching

The cutting material is a coated carbide (WNN10); its suitability for specific materials should be verified against the product matrix to ensure optimal results. The open series designation means the grade is positioned for general use across a range of workpiece materials, but the final selection must consider component hardness, workpiece geometry and coolant strategy. For best outcomes, cross-reference the grade with machining data sheets before series deployment.
