GX16-2E300N03-UF4 WKP23S indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver for steel and cast iron (Walter Tools)

The GX16-2E300N03-UF4 WKP23S is an indexable turning insert engineered for high-productivity turning of steel and cast iron, combining a robust coated grade with an optimised chipformer for consistent results in series production

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for longer tool life
• Optimised chipformer for stable chip control
• Designed for steel and cast iron machining
• Coated cemented carbide with high wear resistance

Longer tool life for fewer interruptions

The combination of a coated cemented carbide substrate and Tiger·tec Silver technology delivers a significant increase in wear resistance, reducing the frequency of insert changes and the associated setup time. The coating system is engineered to withstand the thermal and mechanical loads typical when machining ISO P materials (various steels), so production runs remain consistent. By reducing unscheduled downtime and tool consumption, the insert supports a measurable improvement in overall tool cost per component and a steadier production flow.

Consistent chip control for safer machining

An optimised chipformer geometry (UF4) ensures predictable chip breakage and evacuation when cutting both steels and cast irons, minimising the risk of entanglement and surface damage. The insert design focuses on controlled fragmentation of swarf, which is particularly valuable in automated or high-feed operations where reliable chip flow impacts cycle time. This leads to fewer process interruptions and a steadier surface finish, supporting efficient machining sequences on modern turning centres.

Broad application scope with simplified tool management

Belonging to the Tiger·tec Silver series and graded WKP23S, the insert suits common workshop demands across ISO P and K groups — in other words, for machining a wide range of steel grades and cast iron compositions. The standardised geometry GX16 facilitates inventory management, allowing toolrooms to consolidate insert types while covering multiple jobs. Combined with Walter Tools’ focus on stable edge quality and repeatability, this solution supports both single-shift and continuous production environments that value predictable results.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined with this insert?
The GX16-2E300N03-UF4 WKP23S is suitable for ISO P (steel) and ISO K (cast iron) applications, reflecting the WKP23S grade design for these workpiece families.

What does the Tiger·tec Silver series provide?
Tiger·tec Silver offers a coated carbide system optimised for wear resistance and thermal stability, supporting longer tool life and consistent performance under typical turning conditions.

Is the insert compatible with standard GX16-style toolholders?
The insert follows the GX16 designation; it is intended for toolholders that accept GX16 geometry inserts. Verification with the chosen toolholder is recommended before mounting.

How does the UF4 chipformer benefit machining?
The UF4 chipformer promotes controlled chip breakage and evacuation, reducing the risk of entanglement and enabling steadier surface quality during continuous or automated turning operations.
