VCGT160408-MN2 WNN10 — Turning insert, Rhombus 35° / 0.8 mm radius | Walter Tools

A VCGT160408-MN2 WNN10 turning insert designed for precision finishing and reliable chip control in medium-duty turning applications.

• Rhombus 35° geometry for versatile cuts
• 0.8 mm corner radius for consistent surface finish
• MN2 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Coated carbide grade WNN10 for good edge life

Stable cutting geometry for repeatable results

The rhombic 35° geometry combined with a 7° clearance creates a cutting geometry that stabilises tool engagement and reduces vibration in many turning operations. This geometry supports predictable cutting forces, which translates into consistent surface quality and reduced rework. For shops running serial production, the shape and tolerance class G help maintain dimensional consistency between insert changes and keep setup times low.

Controlled chip formation and improved tool life

Equipped with the MN2 chipbreaker and the WNN10 coated carbide grade, the insert promotes short, segmental chips in common turning tasks. The chipbreaker design reduces chip entanglement and supports reliable evacuations, which is particularly beneficial in automated turning centres. Coating properties of the WNN10 grade enhance wear resistance and contribute to reliable edge life, meaning fewer interruptions for insert changes and more productive machining cycles.

Practical versatility for workshop workflows

With an ISO designation of VCGT160408-MN2 and a nominal plate size of 16 plus a plate thickness of 04, the insert integrates with standard ISO toolholder systems and is suitable for a range of finishing and light-roughing operations. The catalogue-dependent substrate information ensures the right combination of toughness and hardness for specific materials; engineers are advised to consult the product matrix for optimal grade selection. This modular compatibility reduces tooling complexity across mixed-production environments.

Clear specifications that aid process planning

Key numerical features such as the 0.8 mm nose radius and the 7° relief are immediately useful for calculating engagement, feed, and expected surface roughness. The MN2 chipformer supports material-specific chip control strategies, while the tolerance class G indicates consistent manufacturing accuracy for reliable interchangeability. Using this insert supports a rational approach to process optimisation: fewer unknowns, easier parameter transfer and faster ramp-up in production runs.

FAQ

What applications suit this insert best?
This insert is intended for finishing and medium-duty turning; the VCGT160408-MN2 WNN10 excels where controlled chip formation and consistent surface quality are required.

Which toolholders are compatible with this ISO designation?
Any toolholder designed for the ISO VCGT family and 16 mm nominal insert size will accept the VCGT160408-MN2 WNN10 insert, provided the holder matches the rhombic 35° seating.

How does the MN2 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MN2 chipbreaker on the WNN10 grade promotes short, controllable chips, improving chip evacuation and reducing the risk of built-up edge in continuous turning operations.

Is the substrate information fixed or variable?
Substrate and coating details are catalogue-dependent; the WNN10 designation denotes a coated carbide grade, so consult the product matrix for the exact substrate recommended for specific workpiece materials.

What tolerance can be expected on the insert?
The insert is produced to tolerance class G, ensuring consistent dimensional interchangeability between inserts and reduced setup variation.
