VCGT160408-FN2 WNN10 turning insert — FN2 chipbreaker, rhombic 35° geometry (Walter Tools)

VCGT160408-FN2 WNN10 is an indexable turning insert designed for general turning applications where secure chip control and repeatable performance are required

• Stable FN2 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning tasks
• 0.8 mm corner radius balancing strength and finish
• 7° relief angle to reduce rubbing and tool wear

Optimised chip control for predictable productivity

The combination of the FN2 chipbreaker and the WNN10 cutting grade (a coated carbide class) delivers consistent chip control in a wide range of turning operations. The chipformer geometry reduces risk of built-up edge and ensures stable evacuation of chips, which directly supports longer uninterrupted cycles and fewer work-hold interruptions. Because the grade is specified as catalogue-dependent, the cutting material and coating are aligned to the intended application matrix, so machining parameters can be tuned for improved tool life and process reliability.

Geometry that supports both durability and surface quality

A rhombic 35° insert form with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle creates a balanced contact condition between tool and workpiece. The acute approach of the geometry reduces cutting forces for lighter finishing passes while the modest corner radius provides sufficient edge strength for semi-finishing, giving a reliable compromise between surface finish and edge durability. The insert’s profile helps to control vibration and maintain repeatable part geometry during repetitive production runs.

Practical advantages for workshop productivity and repeatability

Produced to tolerance class G, the insert offers consistent seating and repeatable indexing on standard toolholders, supporting quick tool changes and straightforward inventory management. The VCGT family designation and the clear ISO-style code allow straightforward specification in bills of materials and CNC tool libraries. As a coated-carbide turning solution from a reputable manufacturer, the insert supports efficient process planning and predictable maintenance intervals for small-batch and serial production alike.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The VCGT160408-FN2 WNN10 insert is a coated-carbide grade; confirm material suitability via the Walter Tools product matrix for the WNN10 grade to ensure optimal performance.

How does the FN2 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FN2 chipbreaker on this insert provides controlled chip formation and evacuation, which contributes to stable cutting conditions and fewer interruptions during turning operations.

Is the corner radius suitable for finishing operations?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and surface finish, making the insert suitable for light finishing and semi-finishing passes.

Can the insert be used in existing VCGT toolholders?
The VCGT code is a standard ISO-style designation; the VCGT160408-FN2 WNN10 is compatible with toolholders designed for VCGT inserts and benefits from repeatable seating thanks to tolerance class G.

What should be checked before specifying this insert for series production?
Check the WNN10 grade’s material matrix and verify cutting data recommendations from Walter Tools to match speeds, feeds and cooling strategy to the workpiece material.
