VCGW110308FS-1 WDN10 indexable turning insert – PKD, rhombic 35°, Walter Tools

The VCGW110308FS-1 WDN10 is a polycrystalline diamond indexable turning insert designed for form turning and high‑wear tasks on non‑ferrous and abrasive materials.

• PKD grade for abrasive materials
• Rhombic 35° geometry for form turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for accurate edge
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting

Maximise tool life and process reliability with PKD performance

The use of PKD (polycrystalline diamond) as the cutting material provides exceptional wear resistance on abrasive, non‑ferrous workpieces, translating directly into longer tool life and fewer insert changes. In practical terms, this means fewer interruptions to machining cycles and more predictable productivity. The combination of an optimised chipbreaker and a stable cutting grade reduces edge degradation during high‑abrasion operations, supporting consistent surface quality and extended service intervals for the toolholder system.

Accurate form turning and consistent geometry for demanding parts

The 35° rhombic geometry and a 0.8 mm corner radius deliver repeatable form turning results, enabling precision profile work and defined radii on components where dimensional control matters. The moderate 7° clearance angle ensures effective rake and clearance interplay, reducing rubbing and heat generation at the cutting edge. These geometrical parameters help achieve high dimensional accuracy and stable machining behaviour, particularly when processing abrasive non‑ferrous alloys where conventional grades wear rapidly.

Practical integration into production and selection guidance

The insert belongs to Walter’s open series and is offered as catalogue‑dependent material specification; the WDN10 grade should be selected when machining abrasive, non‑ferrous materials after verification against the application matrix. For set‑ups requiring reliable edge control and long runtimes, the combination of PKD grade and the insert’s geometry supports both roughing and light finishing operations. For optimal results, match the insert geometry and grade to the workpiece material and cutting parameters; consult production data sheets or Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisers for feed and speed recommendations tailored to the specific machining centre and clamping arrangement.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert designed for?
The insert is specified for abrasive, non‑ferrous workpieces; the WDN10 PKD grade is optimised for such applications and should be validated against the product matrix.

What advantages does PKD offer for machining?
PKD (polycrystalline diamond) provides superior wear resistance and long tool life when cutting abrasive non‑ferrous materials, leading to fewer insert changes and more stable surface quality.

Is the geometry suitable for finishing operations?
The 35° rhombic geometry with a 0.8 mm corner radius supports precise profile control and can be used for light finishing where the grade and cutting parameters are matched.

How does the chipbreaker influence performance?
The integrated chipbreaker (type 1) is designed to produce controllable chips and help maintain a stable cutting edge under abrasive conditions, improving process reliability.

What should be checked before selection for a specific job?
Confirm the material compatibility in the product matrix and ensure the insert grade, geometry and toolholder combination match the intended feeds and speeds for the machining centre.
