Walter 5835001 Turning Insert VCGT220.5 Carbide

Product Description

The WALTER 5835001 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting in demanding production environments. It carries the ANSI insert code VCGT220.5 and ISO code VCGT110302, and belongs to the Tiger-tec series with the PF2 chip breaker geometry. The insert is coated via PVD with a multilayer TiAlN, Al2O3, and ZrCN coating in manufacturer grade WSM20, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability when cutting difficult materials. With a 35-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, positive rake angle of 18 degrees, and a honed cutting edge style, this insert is suited for light, high-precision turning operations. It is installed by CNC machinists and toolroom professionals in indexable toolholding systems.

This insert is primarily engineered for stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium (ISO material codes M and S), with a secondary rating for steel (code P). It is applicable across turning, facing, boring, and back turning operations. The PF2 chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in these materials. The neutral hand orientation and positive side clearance geometry support a wide range of radial and axial tool orientations in standard indexable holders. Typical applications include finishing and semi-finishing passes where tight tolerances and surface finish are critical.

Key Features

• Multilayer PVD coating: TiAlN, Al2O3, and ZrCN for elevated wear and heat resistance
• 35-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape with 7-degree relief angle and positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• PF2 chip breaker optimized for stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Honed cutting edge style improves edge stability in difficult-to-machine materials
• Two cutting edges per insert; screw-clamp holding method for secure, repeatable indexing
• Multi-use geometry supports turning, facing, boring, and back turning in a single insert

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indexable replacement for toolholders accepting VCGT220.5 (ANSI) or VCGT110302 (ISO) inserts with a screw-clamp holding method. Primary workpiece materials are stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium (ISO M and S); rated for steel (ISO P) as a secondary application. Material grades M20, P20, and S20 apply.

Installation Notes

This insert is seated and clamped by a screw into a compatible indexable toolholder; use the appropriate Torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Ensure the insert pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert to maintain accurate depth of cut and prevent insert rocking. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut of 1.98 mm (0.078 inches) to avoid premature edge failure.
