GX24-3E400N04-UA4 WKP33S indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver coating, for Stahl & Gusseisen | Walter Tools

GX24-3E400N04-UA4 WKP33S is a coated indexable insert engineered for robust turning of Stahl and Gusseisen in industrial machining environments

• Tiger·tec Silver coating technology
• WKP33S grade for coated carbide
• Chipbreaker 3E400N04-UA4 for consistent chips
• Designed for Stahl and Gusseisen machining

Increase process reliability with targeted chip control

The insert delivers predictable chip formation thanks to the dedicated 3E400N04-UA4 chipbreaker, which stabilises cutting forces and reduces the risk of built-up edge. For production-oriented workshops the result is fewer interruptions and more consistent cycle times. The chipshape management shown by this design helps to maintain tool life and reduces scrap rates when machining common ISO groups P and K (Stahl and Gusseisen). By converting cutting stability into measurable uptime, the component supports tighter process windows and repeatable surface quality.

Coating and grade: engineered for wear resistance and heat management

The WKP33S grade, part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, is a coated carbide solution optimised for the thermal and abrasive conditions encountered when turning Stahl and Gusseisen. The multi-layer coating enhances oxidation resistance and improves edge stability at elevated cutting temperatures, while the substrate provides a balance between toughness and hardness. In practical terms, this means improved resistance to flank wear during medium- to high-speed operations and better tolerance to interruptions or unstable setups. The technology is especially advantageous where consistent dimensional results and extended tool life are priorities.

Practical benefits for machining shops and production lines

Integrating this insert into routine turning operations enables more consistent part finishes and lower tool-change frequency, translating into economic benefits over production runs. The combination of grade and chipbreaker reduces manual chip handling and simplifies automation integration, which is valuable for CNC cells and lights-out manufacturing. For toolroom and series-production settings alike, the insert supports systematic cutting parameter adjustments rather than frequent ad hoc fixes, helping to standardise operations and cut overall process variance.
