VNGG160402M-MN3 WN10 – Indexable turning insert, Rhombus 35°, 0° relief — Walter Tools

The VNGG160402M-MN3 WN10 is an indexable turning insert designed for general turning tasks where consistent chip control and predictable edge life are required; suited to a wide range of workshop applications.

• Rhombus 35° geometry for versatile turning
• MN3 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• 0° (negative) relief for stable cutting

Efficient machining with consistent chip control

The insert’s MN3 chipbreaker provides reliable chip segmentation and evacuation, reducing interruptions and tool-time losses. Manufactured in an uncoated cemented carbide grade (WN10), the component balances economy with repeatable performance, making it appropriate for shops that require dependable results without premium-coatedgrades. The rhombic 35° geometry enables a mix of roughing and finishing passes, while the 0.2 mm corner radius helps produce improved surface finishes on moderately demanding workpieces. This combination supports higher process stability and fewer tool changes over a production run.

Designed geometry that supports productivity and surface quality

A 0° negative relief gives the insert a robust cutting edge that resists chipping under intermittent or heavier cuts. The insert thickness and form contribute to secure clamping and vibration damping in the toolholder, which in turn preserves edge integrity and enhances dimensional stability. For operators needing to understand terms: a negative relief means the insert presents a stronger cutting front, improving resistance to breakouts when machining variable stock or interrupted cuts, while the rhombic 35° shape offers flexible entering angles for diverse turning tasks.

Practical grade choice for predictable wear behaviour

The WN10 grade is an uncoated carbide developed for general-purpose turning; it provides consistent wear characteristics across batch runs. While not a coated grade, WN10’s balance of hardness and toughness yields stable flank-wear progression under standard cutting conditions. For processes where higher temperatures or aggressive feeds occur, operators are advised to verify suitability against the specific workpiece material and cutting parameters; this ensures the grade selection aligns with production targets for tool life and surface finish.

Application guidance and integration into the production flow

The insert designation corresponds to a compact, easily referenced format that simplifies stock management and ordering. Its form and chipbreaker make it suitable for a broad materials spectrum—please consult the product matrix for exact material matches. For integration, select a matching VNGG toolholder and ensure correct clamping torque to exploit the insert’s geometric advantages fully; correct setup preserves edge life, reduces rework and supports leaner machining cycles.
