VCGW110304FS-1 WDN10 turning insert – PCD grade, rhombic 35° geometry by Walter Tools

The VCGW110304FS-1 WDN10 is a PCD turning insert designed for machining abrasive, non‑ferrous materials where long life and consistent surface quality are required.

• PCD grade for exceptional wear resistance
• Rhombic 35° geometry for flexible machining
• 7° relief angle for improved cutting engagement

Durable PCD grade for fewer tool changes and predictable production

The core advantage of this insert is its polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting material. PCD provides high wear resistance, significantly extending tool life when machining abrasive non‑ferrous workpieces. For production environments this means fewer tool changes, reduced machine downtime and a lower total cost of ownership over long runs. PCD is best suited to aluminium alloys with abrasive inclusions, non‑ferrous castings and composite materials; the material choice should be checked against the specific workpiece matrix before series production to ensure optimum performance.

Geometry that enhances stability and surface finish

The insert’s rhombic 35° form, combined with a 7° relief angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius, is configured to balance cutting force, tool engagement and surface quality. The shallow relief angle reduces rubbing and heat at the cutting edge, while the small corner radius enables controlled finishing cuts and predictable component geometry. The integrated chipbreaker 1 helps to fragment swarf and support continuous chip evacuation in turning operations, which improves process stability and reduces the risk of surface damage in automatic feeding conditions.

Practical benefits in machining applications

In daily shopfloor use the insert delivers productive machining through consistent edge life and repeatable results. The insert is particularly effective for high‑volume finishing and semi‑finishing where dimensional repeatability and excellent surface quality are priorities. The combination of PCD and the insert geometry supports high feed rates at moderate cutting speeds, leading to efficient material removal with a reliable surface finish. For tool planners, the insert’s specification aids in standardising tooling across similar non‑ferrous applications, simplifying inventory and setup procedures.

Compatibility and application guidance

This insert is intended for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials; check the concrete product matrix for specific alloy compatibility before selecting parameters for series production. The insert designation and series indicate the grade and intended application class—use the designation for ordering and tool management. Where uncertainty exists about feeds, speeds or coolant strategy, consultation with the technical advisors at Metav Werkzeuge ensures process parameters are matched to the component requirements and machine capabilities.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCGW110304FS-1 WDN10 is a PCD insert intended primarily for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials; verify the exact alloy compatibility within the product matrix before series use.

How does PCD compare to carbide for these applications?
PCD (polycrystalline diamond) offers far greater wear resistance than carbide on abrasive non‑ferrous workpieces, which reduces tool change frequency and improves overall process economics for the Walter Tools WDN10 grade.

What is the effect of the 0.4 mm corner radius?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between achievable surface finish and edge robustness, enabling reliable finishing passes with predictable component geometry when using the VCGW110304FS-1 insert.

How does the chipbreaker influence machining?
The chipbreaker 1 promotes fragmentation and controlled swarf flow, supporting continuous turning operations and helping to avoid chip accumulation that could damage the surface or impede automation.

How should feeds and speeds be approached for this insert?
Feeds and speeds depend on material and machine capability; start from conservative PCD parameters recommended by tool planners and adjust while monitoring tool life and surface finish—Metav Werkzeuge can assist with parameter selection for the VCGW110304FS-1 WDN10.
