Grade H6310 cemented carbide indexable insert – applications and construction
double-sided 80° trigon with a hole and chip breaker
The WNMG 080412 turning insert is a double-sided, trigon indexable insert made of H6310 grade cemented carbide, designed for turning steel and stainless steel. Shape W, a trigon with a 80° corner angle, combines strength close to that of a square corner with better access to the workpiece contour than a square insert. Negative geometry with a 0° clearance angle allows both sides of the insert to be used — a total of six cutting edges. The large rε 1.2 mm nose radius strengthens the corner and supports roughing at feed rates up to 0.6 mm/rev. The hole and double-sided type G chip breaker per ISO 1832 control chip flow and breaking throughout the feed range.
H6310 is a versatile PVD-coated carbide grade covering ISO groups P20-P40 and M20-M40, namely structural and alloy steels and austenitic stainless steels; it is also suitable for occasional cast iron machining. A cemented carbide insert with this geometry is versatile: the 1.2 mm radius is suitable for medium machining and roughing, where edge resistance to loads and interrupted cutting matters. The same cutting insert can handle shafts, bushings, and flanges without switching to a smaller radius between operations.
Key advantages of the H6310 cemented carbide insert
- Six cutting edges — 3 corners on each of the two sides reduce the cost per cutting edge compared with single-sided inserts.
- Grade H6310 for ISO groups P and M — general-purpose PVD-coated carbide: steel (P20-P40) and stainless steel (M20-M40), and occasionally cast iron.
- Large corner radius rε 1.2 mm — reinforced corner for roughing and medium machining at feed rates up to 0.6 mm/rev.
- The 80° corner angle provides a strong edge comparable to that of a square insert, with better access to the workpiece contour.
- Tolerance class M, with an inscribed circle IC tolerance of ±0.08 mm, ensures repeatable cutting edge positioning after indexing the insert in its pocket.
- Dimensions conform to ISO 1832: edge length 8.7 mm, IC 12.7 mm (1/2″), thickness 4.76 mm — compatible with holders with a size 08 trigon pocket.
Applications and cutting data selection for the trigon insert
The WNMG 080412 insert (also written without a space as wnmg080412) performs well in longitudinal turning and facing of structural steel and stainless steel components — these are typical turning inserts for series production. Calculate spindle speed using n = 1000·Vc/(π·D): for a shaft diameter of 50 mm at Vc = 200 m/min, the result is approximately 1273 rpm, and increasing the diameter to 80 mm gives approximately 796 rpm. For stainless steels, maintain a cutting speed of 50–230 m/min and a constant feed to prevent work hardening of the layer being cut. Grade H6310 indexable inserts are supplied by the Korean brand Horn.
Grade H6310 is not intended for steels hardened above 45 HRC — for hard turning, select the version WNMG 080412 with a cubic boron nitride (CBN) edge, intended for turning inserts for hardened steel.

Frequently asked questions about the WNMG 080412 insert
use, turning tool selection, and turning parameters
Six — the trigon has 3 corners per side, and the negative geometry (0° clearance angle) allows both sides of the insert to be used. Once an edge becomes dull, simply rotate the insert in its pocket without changing the holder.
Holders with a size 08 trigon pocket (IC 12.7 mm): for external turning TWLNR/L, PWLNR/L and MWLNR/L (entering angle 95°) and MWDNN (50°) with shank cross sections of 20×20–40×40 mm; for internal turning, boring bars S25S–S50V with the suffix TWLNR/L, PWLNR/L, or MWLNR/L.
Only in corner radius: 0.4 mm is used for finishing at low feed rates, 0.8 mm is the general-purpose version, and 1.2 mm is selected for roughing at feed rates up to 0.6 mm/rev. The remaining dimensions (IC 12.7 mm, thickness 4.76 mm) are identical.
Yes — grade H6310 covers group ISO M20-M40. Maintain a cutting speed of 50–230 m/min, a constant feed, and continuous emulsion cooling: austenitic steel conducts heat poorly and work-hardens when cutting is too slow.
