GX24-1E250N02-CF5 WSM33S — Turning insert (Tiger·tec Silver) by Walter Tools, optimised for stainless steel and superalloys

A GX24-1E250N02-CF5 WSM33S is a coated cemented carbide turning insert from the Tiger·tec Silver series, designed for secure chip formation and stable cutting edges when machining stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys

• Tiger·tec Silver coated for thermal stability
• Grade WSM33S for difficult-to-cut alloys
• Optimised chipbreaker 1E250N02-CF5
• Reliable cutting-edge stability

High-performance coating for demanding alloys

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM33S grade delivers consistent performance when machining materials that generate heat and resist chip formation. The coating technology improves thermal resistance and reduces abrasive wear, which means more predictable tool life under elevated temperatures. For production environments where parts are routinely made from stainless steel or nickel‑based superalloys, this results in fewer unexpected tool changes and a steadier process output. The insert’s design supports controlled chip flow, reducing the risk of built-up edge and helping to maintain component tolerances.

Optimised geometry that improves process security

The dedicated 1E250N02-CF5 chipbreaker geometry contributes to stable chip control and repeatable cutting behaviour. This geometry is specifically intended to work with the mechanical properties of stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys, where chips can be stringy or thermally adhesive. By promoting short, consistent chips and reducing vibrations at the cutting zone, the insert helps to preserve the cutting edge and supports consistent surface finish. The result is enhanced process security and reduced rework in series production.

Application-led durability and economical machining

The cemented carbide composition and the coating synergy are engineered for a broad range of hard-to-machine steels and superalloys, offering a balance between wear resistance and edge toughness. This balance is particularly valuable when tool life must be predictable: the insert minimises flank wear and maintains dimensional stability over longer tool paths. The productive nature of the grade helps to lower overall machining costs by reducing downtime for insert changes and supporting longer uninterrupted cycles on turning centres.

Integration and selection guidance for shop floors

The insert is suitable for standard indexable holders compatible with insert designation GX24-1E250N02-CF5 WSM33S; selection should consider workpiece material, cut depth and feed to exploit the chipbreaker fully. For stainless steel applications, prioritise coolant strategy and stable clamping to complement the insert’s thermal resilience. When replacing tools or configuring new operations, pairing this insert with rigid toolholders and tuned parameters will maximise the benefit of the Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WSM33S grade, helping to achieve the desired surface quality and repeatability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The GX24-1E250N02-CF5 WSM33S from Walter Tools is formulated for stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), offering improved chip control and thermal resistance for those materials.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating help performance?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WSM33S grade increases thermal stability and wear resistance, allowing the insert to maintain cutting‑edge integrity and more predictable tool life under demanding conditions.

Is this insert compatible with standard turning toolholders?
Yes; the insert designation GX24-1E250N02-CF5 corresponds to standard indexable geometries and fits holders designed for that insert type, but verify seat angle and clamping style before use.

What operational improvements can be expected with this grade?
Using the WSM33S grade typically results in better chip control, fewer built‑up edges and more consistent surface finish when machining stainless steel and superalloys, contributing to higher process security.

Can the chipbreaker be used with both finishing and roughing cuts?
The 1E250N02‑CF5 chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip formation; depending on holder rigidity and machining parameters, it can be applied across a range of feeds for both semi‑finishing and finishing tasks.
