VCGT160404M-FP2 WEP10C — Indexable turning insert, Cermet grade, FP2 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

The VCGT160404M-FP2 WEP10C is an indexable turning insert designed for fine finishing and stable edge performance in precision turning applications.

• Cermet grade WEP10C for fine finishing
• FP2 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatility
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine edge

Reliable finishing with cermet performance

The Walter Cermet series combines a cermet cutting grade with a geometry optimised for finishing operations, delivering a measured improvement in surface quality where precision matters. The carbide-free cermet substrate supports a sharp cutting edge and reduced built-up edge, which contributes to consistent component finishes and predictable tool life. For customers evaluating materials, the specific WEP10C grade requires checking the product matrix to confirm suitability for particular alloys and application windows.

Predictable chip control for stable process results

The integrated FP2 chipbreaker is engineered to produce compact, controllable chips at moderate depths of cut, reducing interruption risks in automated turning processes. Stable chip formation improves cycle times by lowering downtime for chip clearing and minimises the likelihood of surface damage caused by long, stringy swarf. In practice, this results in a more efficient machining cycle and fewer quality deviations when paired with a matching holder and recommended cutting data.

Versatile geometry for adaptable turning strategies

The Rhombic 35° insert shape combined with a 7° clearance angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius supports flexible turning strategies, from light finishing cuts to more aggressive passes where edge strength is required. The insert is supplied in size 16 format with thickness code 04 and features the FP2 chipbreaker for balanced performance. Because material behaviour varies, confirm material compatibility using the Walter Cermet product matrix to ensure the insert meets production requirements under expected cutting conditions.
