VNGG160408-NFT WS10 — Turning insert, Rhombus 35° geometry, Walter Tools

VNGG160408-NFT WS10 is a coated carbide indexable turning insert engineered for stable chip formation and robust cutting edges in general turning applications.

• Rhombus 35° insert geometry
• Coated carbide grade WS10
• NFT chipbreaker for chip control

Stable cutting performance through optimised geometry and chip control

The combination of a Rhombus 35° profile and an NFT chipbreaker gives this insert predictable chip flow and secure contact with the workpiece. The 35° lead angle reduces cutting forces in many turning operations, improving feed stability and helping to achieve consistent surface quality. The 0° negative rake contributes to a stronger cutting edge for interrupted cuts and tougher materials, while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and achievable finish. These characteristics translate into fewer tool changes and steady cycle times in series production.

Dependable coated carbide grade for longer tool life and productivity

Manufactured in the WS10 coated carbide class, this insert delivers a compromise between wear resistance and edge robustness that suits a wide range of turning tasks. The coating supports thermal and abrasive stability, helping to extend the interval between indexings. By choosing a coated carbide grade matched to application demands, users gain measurable improvements in process reliability and cost-efficiency per component produced. Material suitability should be checked against the product matrix to ensure optimal performance in each specific application.

Practical compatibility, handling and selection advice for workshop use

The insert is supplied in the ISO code VNGG160408-NFT and carries tolerance class G, making it straightforward to identify and match with standard toolholders. The size identifier indicates a 16-series insert format with thickness code 04 and a clearly stated corner radius: 0.8 mm, supporting repeatable clamping and seating. Because the base material is catalogue-dependent, confirming the exact substrate and coating combination before high-volume use is recommended. For tailored selection—for example when machining alloyed steels or abrasive materials—consult the detailed product matrix or request application guidance.

FAQ

What applications suit this insert best?
The VNGG160408-NFT WS10 turning insert is designed for general turning where stable chip control and edge strength are required; suitability should be verified against the product matrix for specific materials.

How does the 0° negative rake affect performance?
A 0° negative rake increases edge robustness for the VNGG160408-NFT WS10, improving performance in interrupted cuts and tougher workpiece materials at the expense of slightly higher cutting forces.

Can this insert be used for finishing operations?
With its 0.8 mm corner radius and coated carbide grade WS10, the insert can achieve good surface quality in many finishing passes, provided cutting parameters are adapted to the material and machine rigidity.
