Consistent cutting performance through advanced coating

The Tiger·tec Silver coating on this insert delivers improved wear resistance and thermal stability compared with uncoated grades, which translates into longer tool life and fewer tool changes. The coated carbide substrate maintains cutting-edge integrity under the typical heat and stress of steel turning, so machining cycles remain predictable. This consistency supports higher machine utilisation and reduces unscheduled downtime, a decisive benefit for production environments that prioritise throughput and repeatable part quality.

Controlled chips and safer production with a dedicated chipbreaker

Equipped with the chipbreaker 2E318N03-UD4, the insert produces short, segmented chips for safer evacuation and reduced entanglement at the workpiece. Stable chip formation improves operator safety and keeps coolant flow and chip conveyors working efficiently, while also aiding a superior surface finish by preventing chip re-cutting. The deliberate geometry of the chipbreaker supports consistent results across varying cut depths and feeds, helping to maintain cycle time and reduce secondary operations linked to poor chip behaviour.

Versatile WKP23S grade for steels and cast irons

The WKP23S grade is optimised for the ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), offering broad applicability across unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as many grey and nodular cast irons. This versatility simplifies tooling stocks: one grade covers multiple workpiece materials while still delivering the process reliability expected in professional turning applications. For users moving between component families, the grade’s balanced resistance to abrasive wear and thermal load reduces the need for frequent requalification of cutting data.

Integration into tool systems and practical benefits on the shop floor

The GX24 insert geometry fits standard indexable turning toolholders designed for this style of insert, enabling quick indexing and minimal setup time. The insert’s combination of coated carbide construction and precision ground seats ensures repeatable positioning and stable cutting conditions, which reduces vibration and improves surface quality. When integrated into a controlled machining strategy, this solution contributes to lower overall production costs through extended tool life, fewer interventions and predictable part tolerances.
