Efficient Hard Turning with the WNGA 0804..-3N RTC20T
The WNGA 0804..-3N RTC20T indexable insert offers a practical solution for machining hardened steel components. Combining extremely hard cubic boron nitride (CBN) with a robust TiN coating, this insert protects its three cutting edges against rapid wear and high thermal loads. This turning tool thereby facilitates highly efficient machining processes, especially when handling continuous or slightly interrupted cuts in tough workpieces. The multi-edge design of the WNGA shape also ensures cost-effective usage, as each insert provides three cutting corners before a complete replacement is required.

Applications
Thanks to its specialized CBN grade, the WNGA 0804..-3N RTC20T is highly suitable for turning tasks that demand precise machining of hardened steel parts. It delivers dependable results in both full continuous cutting and slightly interrupted operations. This makes the insert an ideal fit for modern mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, and mold making, where hard contours are frequently machined.
Special features
The three-edge configuration of this WNGA insert enables longer utilization periods per tool holder, allowing operators to easily index to a fresh edge once wear occurs. An additional benefit is the TiN coating, which thermally stabilizes the cutting material and reduces friction, thereby promoting a smooth chip flow and clean surface finishes on the workpiece.
