GX16-1E200N02-GD3 WKP23S indexable turning insert — Tiger‑tec Silver coating, for steel and cast iron | Walter Tools

The GX16-1E200N02-GD3 WKP23S is an indexable turning insert engineered for efficient turning of steel and cast iron, combining a dedicated chipbreaker geometry with the Tiger‑tec Silver coating to extend tool life and maintain consistent part quality.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for wear resistance
• Optimised for steel and cast iron machining
• Coated cemented carbide grade WKP23S

Stable performance under demanding turning conditions

The GX16‑1E200N02‑GD3 insert delivers consistent cutting performance through a combination of a precision chipbreaker and a hard, wear‑resistant coating. The WKP23S grade is a coated cemented‑carbide formulation optimised for the thermal and mechanical demands of machining steel and cast iron (ISO groups P and K). As a result, the insert supports predictable tool life and stable edge retention, which reduces interruptions for tool changes and contributes to smoother production planning and increased uptime.

Controlled chips and improved surface quality

The integrated 1E200N02‑GD3 chipbreaker geometry is designed to produce short, controllable chips when machining typical steels and cast irons, which lowers the risk of built‑up edge and improves swarf handling in automated or manual turning. With effective chip control comes better surface finishes and fewer secondary operations. The Tiger‑tec Silver coating further reduces friction at the cutting edge, helping to maintain dimensional accuracy and a consistent finish over longer tool life.

Productivity gains through fewer tool changes and predictable results

Selecting this coated insert supports higher process reliability and reduced cycle interruptions. The insert’s combination of geometry and grade enables repeatable performance across batch production, delivering improved productivity and cost efficiency over time. For workshops seeking predictable results when turning a wide range of steels and cast iron grades, this solution helps standardise tooling and reduces the need for frequent trial adjustments.
