GX16-1E200N02-CF5 WSM23S indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver for stainless steels and superalloys | Walter Tools

The GX16-1E200N02-CF5 WSM23S is an indexable turning insert developed for robust performance in machining stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys, offering a balance of wear resistance and reliable chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• Optimised chip control for stable cutting
• Suitable for stainless steel and superalloys

Extended tool life and secure cutting edge for tough materials

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM23S grade is engineered to withstand the thermal and mechanical loads typical of machining stainless steels and nickel-based alloys. The coating increases heat resistance at the cutting edge, reducing flank wear and helping to maintain a sharp geometry over longer tool life. For production environments where consistent cutting performance is required, this insert reduces the frequency of index changes and supports predictable tool-change intervals, which improves overall line efficiency.

Predictable chips and improved surface results with optimised geometry

The integrated chipbreaker 1E200N02-CF5 promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which lowers the risk of built-up edge and workpiece damage. By transforming potentially long or tangled chips into manageable segments, the insert supports a stable cutting process and contributes to a consistent surface quality on turned components. For operators less familiar with chipbreaker design, this geometry essentially shapes how the material fractures and folds away from the cutting zone, making machining safer and cleaner on bar feeds and in automated turning centres.

Reliable process performance and lower unit costs in production

Designed for machining classes S and M, the insert delivers process reliability across a broad material spectrum, enabling fewer interruptions and less troubleshooting during batch runs. The robust grade reduces unexpected edge failures when facing heat-prone alloys, while the coating minimises adhesion and thermal softening. Over repeated cycles this translates into lower tool consumption per part and improved repeatability from one batch to the next. For manufacturing teams focused on measurable productivity gains, the insert supports stable cycle times and predictable maintenance planning.
