VCGW110302EM-2 WBS10 — indexable turning insert, CBN grade, Rhombic 35° (Walter Tools)

The VCGW110302EM-2 WBS10 is an indexable turning insert engineered for high-wear and hardened-material machining, offering a combination of wear resistance and defined geometry for reliable finishing operations

• CBN grade for high-wear machining
• Rhombic 35° cutting geometry
• 0.2 mm nose radius for fine finishes
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting

Durable CBN performance for hardened components

The main advantage of the insert lies in its CBN composition. Cubic boron nitride is a superabrasive designed for machining hardened steels and other hard, abrasive materials; this results in significantly improved wear resistance compared with conventional carbide grades. For production environments where insert life and consistent surface quality matter, the CBN grade reduces the frequency of index changes and supports steady machining cycles. The hardened-material suitability should be verified against the product matrix to ensure optimal results.

Geometry tuned for surface quality and chip handling

The rhombic 35° format paired with a 0.2 mm nose radius and a 7° clearance angle delivers a precise contact area and controlled cutting forces. The modest nose radius is suited to fine finishing where dimensional accuracy and low surface roughness are priorities, while the clearance angle supports stable engagement without excessive rubbing. The built-in chip control (chipbreaker 2) promotes predictable chip formation, aiding coolant access and easing swarf evacuation in automated turning centres.

Integration into productive turning strategies

Belonging to the Walter CBN / Hartstoff series and specified as WBS10, this insert is intended for process-oriented use in demanding applications. The product's tolerance class (G) and standard form make it compatible with typical toolholders designed for rhombic inserts. When pairing the insert with turning parameters, focus on slower cutting speeds and steady feeds appropriate for CBN to exploit its wear characteristics and maintain surface integrity. If application conditions are unclear, technical consultation is recommended to match insert characteristics with the workpiece material and machining strategy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCGW110302EM-2 WBS10 insert uses a CBN grade designed primarily for hardened steels and similar high-wear materials; suitability for cast iron or superalloys should be checked against the product matrix.

How does CBN compare to carbide for turning?
CBN offers superior wear resistance and thermal stability on hardened components compared with carbide, meaning longer tool life and more consistent finishes when used under appropriate cutting conditions.

Which geometry benefits finishing operations?
The rhombic 35° form with a 0.2 mm nose radius and 7° clearance angle is optimised for dimensional accuracy and surface quality, making it well suited to finishing passes on hardened workpieces.

Is there guidance for selecting cutting parameters?
The insert performs best with cutting strategies adapted to CBN: moderate feeds and controlled cutting speeds to exploit the grade’s wear characteristics and ensure process stability.
