VCGT160412-MN2 WN10 — Turning insert, Rhombus 35° with MN2 chipbreaker | Walter Tools

The VCGT160412-MN2 WN10 is a Rhombic 35° turning insert designed for standard turning operations where controlled chip formation and repeatable edge life are required

• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• MN2 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 7° clearance for reduced rubbing and stable cuts
• 1.2 mm corner radius for improved edge strength

Consistent surface quality through controlled chip formation

The insert combines a Rhombus 35° form with an engineered MN2 chipbreaker, delivering predictable chips even under varying cut depths. The uncoated WN10 carbide grade provides a neutral cutting behaviour that is easy to adapt across different feed and speed settings, making these indexable inserts a practical choice for shops seeking repeatable finishes. This geometry and chip control reduce the need for rework, supporting higher first-pass yields and fewer tool changes.

Stable cutting performance and durable edge geometry

A 7° clearance reduces flank rubbing and helps maintain a consistent cutting angle, while the 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts and light roughing. The insert’s tolerance class G supports reliable seating in the toolholder, which contributes to dimensional consistency and longer insert life. These technical attributes translate into lower process variability and more predictable maintenance intervals for production environments.

Integration into the toolroom and material guidance

Designed as an indexable turning solution, the insert fits standard holders for the 16 mm inscribed circle and offers straightforward replacement and toolpath setup. The cutting grade is listed as uncoated carbide and the detailed material suitability should be checked against the product matrix; the WN10 variety is catalogued as a general-purpose carbide, so verify application compatibility for specialised materials. For application-specific strategies or to optimise feeds and speeds, Metav Werkzeuge provides machining consultation and detailed data upon request.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for both finishing and light roughing?
The VCGT160412-MN2 WN10 insert can be used for finishing and light roughing applications; the MN2 chipbreaker and 1.2 mm corner radius provide a balance between edge strength and surface quality, but final suitability depends on the workpiece material and cutting parameters.

Which toolholders accept this insert?
Holders designed for VCGT-style indexable inserts and a 16 mm inscribed circle accept this geometry; compatibility with specific toolholder models should be confirmed prior to ordering.

Can this insert machine stainless steel or exotic alloys?
The WN10 is an uncoated carbide grade. Material suitability is not universally guaranteed; consult the product matrix or Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisers to confirm whether this grade is appropriate for specific stainless steels or exotic alloys.

What is the nominal corner radius and clearance angle?
The insert has a 1.2 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle, values that favour durable edges and reduced flank contact during turning.

Is the carbide coated?
This insert is supplied in the uncoated WN10 carbide grade as specified; coating information is noted as catalogue-dependent where applicable.
