VCGW160408FS-1 WDN10 – Indexable turning insert, PKD grade, Rhombus 35°, Walter Tools

A versatile VCGW160408FS-1 WDN10 indexable turning insert optimised for abrasive non‑ferrous materials and precision finishing.

• PKD grade WDN10 for high abrasion resistance
• Rhombic 35° geometry for turning versatility
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise edge control
• 7° clearance angle for reliable chip evacuation

Long service life for abrasive non‑ferrous workpieces

The combination of PKD cutting material and the WDN10 grade provides outstanding wear resistance in demanding applications. Polykristalliner Diamant (PKD) is particularly suited to abrasive, non‑ferrous alloys where conventional carbide grades wear quickly; this results in a markedly extended tool life and lower tool change frequency. For production environments that process a high share of aluminium alloys, copper alloys or other abrasive non‑ferrous materials, the premium hardness of the cutting edge ensures repeatable component quality and reduced rework rates.

Geometry engineered for stable cutting and surface quality

The Rhombus 35° plate form combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° clearance angle gives a balanced mix of cutting stability and surface finish. The small corner radius supports precise edge control on fine turning operations while the clearance angle reduces rubbing and heat buildup, improving chip control when used with the integrated chipbreaker 1. Insert size 16 and thickness 04 (manufacturer coding) support secure clamping and consistent seat engagement, which aids process reliability and repeatable dimensional results.

Process benefits and selection guidance for production

Using the VCGW160408FS-1 WDN10 can reduce tool consumption and stabilise throughput when machining abrasive non‑ferrous materials; the higher upfront cost of PKD is offset by longer lifetime and fewer interruptions. Selection should be validated against the specific workpiece alloy and cutting conditions—refer to the manufacturer’s product matrix for suitability. When integrated into a standard turning cycle, the insert improves surface consistency and reduces variation between batches, supporting predictable production planning and lower overall operating cost.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited to?
The VCGW160408FS-1 WDN10 is intended for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials; the PKD cutting material provides high wear resistance when machining aluminium alloys, copper alloys and similar materials.

How does the Rhombus 35° geometry affect turning performance?
Rhombic 35° geometry offers a compromise between versatile cutting directions and stability; with the VCGW160408FS-1 WDN10 this results in improved surface finish and predictable chip flow during light to medium turning operations.

What benefit does the 0.8 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.8 mm corner radius on the insert gives precise edge control for finishing passes, helping to maintain dimensional accuracy and reduce the risk of form deviations on delicate external contours.

Is chip control supported by this insert?
Yes, the insert features chipbreaker 1 and the combination of geometry and clearance angle contributes to controlled chip formation and easier evacuation in non‑ferrous turning tasks.

How should one verify suitability for a specific alloy?
Suitability should be checked against the manufacturer’s product matrix and machining data; the WDN10 grade is designed for abrasive, non‑ferrous materials, but final selection depends on alloy composition and cutting conditions.
