Upgrade your turning operations with the Widia WCMT06T308 PA235 — a high-performance carbide insert designed for machinists who demand longer tool life, consistent performance, and lower cost per part. Engineered with Widia’s trusted PA235 carbide grade, this insert combines toughness and wear resistance, making it ideal for turning, light boring, and finishing operations on steels, cast irons, and other common engineering materials.

Hook / Attention line

🔧 Cut costs, not corners: run longer, machine faster — the Widia WCMT06T308 PA235 slashes downtime and boosts throughput.

Body / Benefits-driven pitch:

When you pick machining inserts, the true test is how long they last under real-world stress. The WCMT06T308 PA235 delivers that resilience with confidence—so you can run longer cycles, get consistent surface finishes, and reduce your cost per component.

Key Features & Specs:

  • Geometry & Style: WCMT06T308 — W-trigon (80°) insert geometry, typically positive rake style for good chip flow and moderate cutting force advantage.

  • Grade / Substrate: PA235 (a micro-grain carbide grade from Widia) — engineered for a balance of toughness and wear resistance.

  • Coating / Finish: Though explicit coating info is scarce in public listings, Widia often applies polished rake surfaces and fine coatings / surface finishes to reduce built-up edge and enhance chip flow in PA series grades. (Assumed from typical Widia insert finishes.)

  • Applications / Suitable Cuts: Best suited for turning, light boring or back-turning of steels, cast irons, and possibly some stainless steels under moderate cutting conditions. It is less likely targeted for heavy milling or deep roughing

Why It’s a Bestseller

  • Reduced downtime: Less frequent insert changes means your machines stay productive.

  • Stable wear behavior: The toughness of PA235 helps resist chipping under vibration or intermittent cuts.

  • Consistent surface finish: Smooth rake geometry aids chip control, minimizing chatter and edge buildup.

  • Optimized cost per part: When an insert runs reliably through many cycles without failure, your true cost per component drops.

  • Proven inventory presence: It’s a stock favorite in many tool houses—easy to source in bulk.

Application Industries:

  • Automotive: turning shafts, housings, components

  • Aerospace: less aggressive finishing or semi-finishing of ferrous parts

  • Die & mold: backing off, cleanup cuts

  • General engineering / OEM: components in steel / cast iron

Frequently Asked Questions

It performs well in steels and cast irons under moderate turning or light boring conditions. For more aggressive or heat-resistant alloys, a different grade might be preferable.

PA235 offers greater toughness and resistance to chipping under intermittent or less stable cutting compared to lighter grades such as PA120 (which is more wear-resistant but less tough)

It is a W-trigon (80°) geometry, which gives a good balance between strength and chip flow, particularly suited for turning and light boring operations.

This insert is optimized for turning / light boring. For milling or heavy material removal, dedicated milling inserts or stronger grades would normally be preferred.
