GX24-3E400N04-GD3 WKP23S indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Silver – Walter Tools

A GX24-3E400N04-GD3 WKP23S indexable turning insert engineered for high-productivity turning of steel and cast iron in industrial machining.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for improved wear resistance
• WKP23S grade for robust edge life
• Optimised chip control geometry
• High productivity for steel and cast iron

Longer tool life through advanced coating technology

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP23S cutting grade provides notably improved resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes during production. The coated carbide substrate is designed to endure the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of turning operations on P and K materials. For production environments aiming to reduce downtime, these properties support more consistent cycle times and predictable maintenance intervals.

Consistent chip formation for safer machining

The 3E400N04-GD3 chipbreaker geometry is optimised to promote short, controlled chips when machining steel and cast iron, lowering the risk of workpiece damage and improving operator safety. Controlled chip evacuation reduces the chance of entanglement and minimises vibration, which in turn helps to maintain a stable cutting edge and better surface finish on the workpiece. For users with varying feed and speed conditions, the geometry delivers reliable chip behaviour across typical turning parameters.

Productivity gains with application-focused design

Designed specifically for turning tasks in P (steel) and K (cast iron) ISO groups, this indexable insert prioritises efficiency and repeatability. The cutting grade and geometry enable productive material removal rates while preserving the integrity of the insert edge under intermittent and continuous cutting conditions. In practice, workshops will see improved part quality and reduced scrap rates as a result of the predictable performance delivered by this insert.

Practical considerations for selection and use

When selecting an insert for a specific turning task, consider the workpiece material and the desired surface finish; the Tiger‑tec Silver technology is best suited for demanding applications involving abrasive or adhesive wear. Insert life can be further extended by matching cutting parameters and tooling setup to the insert’s intended use—moderate depths of cut and optimised feeds typically yield the best balance between productivity and longevity. For applications close to tolerance limits, the combination of the insert’s coating and chip control helps achieve consistent dimensional results.
