VNGG160404-NFT WS10 – Turning insert, Rhombus 35°, 0.4 mm radius (Walter Tools)

A VNGG160404-NFT WS10 turning insert designed for versatile external turning, combining a coated cemented-carbide grade with an NFT chipbreaker for controlled chips and stable tool life

• NFT chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 35° shape for versatile turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for consistent edge strength
• Coated carbide WS10 for broad material coverage

Consistent cutting performance with a wear-resistant grade

The insert uses the WS10 coated cemented-carbide grade, a composition optimised for general turning applications. The coating improves wear resistance and thermal stability, helping to maintain a sharp cutting edge over extended cycles. This results in more predictable tool life and fewer stoppages for index changes, which supports higher machine utilisation and lower process costs. Given the grade’s broad suitability, a material-specific performance check is recommended against the manufacturer’s product matrix to confirm optimal cutting parameters for the intended workpiece material.

Geometry engineered to stabilise the process and surface finish

The rhombic 35° form and a 0° negative rake angle create a geometry that balances cutting forces and facilitates access in external contours and shoulders. The 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge robustness without sacrificing the ability to achieve fine surface finishes where required. Tolerance class G and the stated insert dimensions provide consistent seating accuracy in standard tool holders, reducing runout and vibrational variance. These geometric features translate into fewer rejected parts, predictable micro-geometry on the component and a more stable machining window when cutting variable batches.

Effective chip control and productivity advantages

The NFT chipbreaker is designed for reliable chip formation and evacuation across a range of feeds and depths of cut; it reduces the risk of entangling swarf and minimises interruptions for manual chip clearing. The insert’s form factor (size 16 with thickness designation 04) supports a wide selection of tool holders and clamping solutions, allowing fast retooling. Together with the coated substrate, this leads to improved overall process efficiency: shorter cycle times, steadier tool wear patterns and lower unplanned downtime. Walter Tools’ engineering focus on process reliability underpins the insert’s suitability for production environments that demand repeatable throughput and quality.

FAQ

What materials is the VNGG160404-NFT WS10 suitable for?
The VNGG160404-NFT WS10 insert, with its WS10 coated carbide grade, is intended for a broad range of turning applications; material-specific suitability should be verified against the manufacturer’s product matrix before serial use.

How does the NFT chipbreaker benefit production?
The NFT chipbreaker on the VNGG160404-NFT WS10 promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing swarf-related interruptions and improving machining reliability.

Can the rhombic 35° geometry be used for profiling and shoulder work?
Yes, the rhombic 35° form of the turning insert offers good access for external profiling and shoulder cuts while maintaining stable cutting conditions.

What does the 0° negative rake imply for cutting forces?
A 0° (negative) rake increases edge strength and resistance to chipping, which supports higher feed or interrupted cuts and helps maintain consistent tool life.

Is the corner radius interchangeable for different surface finishes?
The 0.4 mm corner radius on this insert is a compromise between edge strength and finish; for finer surface requirements, a smaller radius or a different insert grade may be selected.
