GX24-3E400N04-UD4 WKP23S — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver for steel & cast iron (Walter Tools)

The GX24-3E400N04-UD4 WKP23S is an indexable turning insert engineered for productive machining of steel and cast iron in industrial turning operations.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide
• Optimised chipbreaker 3E400N04-UD4
• Suitable for steel and cast iron
• Designed for long tool life and reliability

Boosted productivity with advanced Tiger·tec Silver technology

The Tiger·tec Silver coating, combined with the WKP23S grade, delivers a reliable balance of wear resistance and toughness that directly improves cycle times. In practical terms, the coated carbide substrate reduces flank wear and resists abrasive attack typical of cast-iron workpieces while maintaining edge stability during steel turning. This technological pairing is particularly valuable in high-volume production where consistent performance and reduced tool changes lead to measurable productivity gains and lower process costs.

Consistent chip control and surface quality from geometry engineering

The integrated chipbreaker 3E400N04-UD4 is optimised for controlled chip formation and evacuation when machining ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron). The geometry influences chip flow, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving surface finish on each pass. For engineers less familiar with chipbreakers: this element shapes the way metal curls and breaks away, so effective geometry reduces interruptions, protects the cutting edge and contributes to more consistent component tolerances. The result is fewer rework cycles and a steadier production output.

Seamless fit into industrial turning toolsets and process chains

As an indexable turning insert, this component integrates with standard toolholders and turning systems used in modern workshops. The insert’s design supports repeatable positioning and fast reversal of cutting edges, so maintenance routines are simplified and downtime is reduced. By favouring stable edge life and predictable wear behaviour, the insert supports longer intervals between tool changes and more reliable batch processing. For operations seeking to improve overall equipment effectiveness, the insert offers a practical route to better throughput with minimal process adjustment.
