VCGT160408-FN2 WN10 — VCGT160408-FN2 WN10 indexable turning insert (Rhombic 35°, 0.8 mm nose radius) by Walter Tools

The VCGT160408-FN2 WN10 is an indexable turning insert designed for versatile medium‑duty machining with an FN2 chipbreaker and a rhombic 35° geometry suitable for a wide range of turning operations.

• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm nose radius for precise profile control
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting conditions
• Uncoated carbide grade WN10 for predictable wear

Predictable machining performance through targeted chip control and grade choice

The insert’s combination of the FN2 chipbreaker and the uncoated WN10 carbide grade provides a balance between chip formation and edge robustness. The FN2 geometry is engineered to break chips reliably under a wide range of cutting parameters, which reduces rework and machine downtime while maintaining consistent material removal rates. Selecting an uncoated grade means a simpler wear behaviour and often lower tooling cost per edge change; check the product matrix for specific workpiece suitability to ensure optimal results. The tolerance class G supports consistent seating in standard toolholders, contributing to repeatable part tolerances and predictable process windows.

Consistent surface quality thanks to defined geometry and small nose radius

The rhombic 35° form combined with a 0.8 mm nose radius delivers a good compromise between accessibility in profiles and surface finish requirements. The relatively small nose radius helps to produce fine contour detail and reduced cutting forces on small diameters, while the 7° clearance angle improves edge engagement and reduces rubbing at the flank. These geometric choices translate into tangible benefits on the shop floor: lower vibration risk, repeatable part finishes and reduced need for secondary finishing. The insert’s format makes it suitable for applications where a controlled, predictable cutting behaviour is more important than extreme material removal rates.

Application guidance and selection for efficient tool use

The insert is available in format code 16 with thickness code 04 and is supplied in the Walter Schneidstoffsorte series. As with all grade selections, the WN10 designation denotes an uncoated cemented carbide — check the manufacturer's product matrix to confirm suitability for specific materials and cutting conditions. For indexable turning, match the insert geometry and chipbreaker to the part’s material, feed and depth of cut: FN2 is aimed at controlled chip breaking across moderate feeds. Where process reliability is essential, choose holders and clamping that respect the insert’s G tolerance to maintain repeat accuracy and minimise setup time.

FAQ

What applications suit this insert best?
The VCGT160408-FN2 WN10 indexable turning insert is designed for versatile medium‑duty turning tasks where controlled chip breaking and a fine nose radius are required; verify the workpiece match using the manufacturer’s product matrix.

Is the grade coated or uncoated?
The WN10 designation describes an uncoated cemented carbide grade; this gives a predictable wear behaviour and often suits general turning tasks without demanding coating properties.

Which geometrical features affect surface finish?
The rhombic 35° geometry together with the 0.8 mm nose radius and 7° clearance angle on this insert govern contact conditions and thus help achieve consistent surface quality.
