GX24-3E400N04-UD4 WKP13S indexable turning insert – Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

GX24-3E400N04-UD4 WKP13S is an indexable turning insert engineered for productive machining of steel and cast iron, combining a robust WKP13S carbide grade with Tiger·tec Silver coating for reliable performance in demanding turning operations

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• WKP13S grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• Precise chip control with 3E400N04-UD4 chipbreaker
• Stable edge and consistent performance

Consistent productivity through engineered coating and grade

The GX24-3E400N04-UD4 WKP13S insert delivers predictable wear behaviour thanks to the Tiger·tec Silver coating in combination with the WKP13S carbide grade. This configuration is optimised for the thermal and mechanical loads typical of ISO group P (steel) and K (cast iron) machining. The result is reduced variation in cutting-edge life and more stable cycle times on series production, which supports throughput targets and lowers unplanned downtime.

Improved chip control and machining stability

Equipped with the 3E400N04-UD4 chipbreaker geometry, the insert provides controlled swarf formation during turning, which simplifies chip evacuation and reduces the risk of surface damage. The engineered chipbreaker is particularly effective when machining medium to heavy interrupted cuts in steel and short-chipping cast iron grades, delivering a consistent surface finish and minimising rework. This translates into efficiency gains and easier process planning on the shop floor.

Durability, repeatability and operational benefits

The coated carbide composition ensures wear resistance and retains a sharp cutting edge under fluctuating cutting conditions. Hardness and coating combination result in fewer indexings and a longer useful life per edge, contributing to lower tool consumption and predictable replacement intervals. For workshops seeking reliable tool performance, the insert supports stable cutting parameters and repeatable results across batches, aiding quality control and cost-efficiency.

Practical application advice and process fit

The insert is suited to a wide range of turning tasks in component manufacture, from finishing passes that demand surface integrity to medium removal operations where edge life is prioritised. The designation and geometry follow established insert standards, facilitating selection of matching toolholders and assemblies. For best results, adapt feed and speed to workpiece material and machine stability, and consider coolant strategy to support the coated grade where required.
