• WKP23S grade for long tool life
• Optimised chipformer 3E400N04‑UF4
• Suitable for steel and cast iron

Maximise productivity with stable cutting performance

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP23S carbide grade provides a clear advantage where consistent performance matters. The coating reduces abrasive and adhesive wear while the substrate retains toughness, which together translate into longer tool life and fewer insert changes. This results in improved machine uptime and a lower cost per machined component. The insert geometry, identified by the GX24-3E400N04-UF4 designation, is designed to maintain a reproducible cutting edge under typical turning loads, supporting stable cutting conditions and predictable finish quality.

Precise chip control for uninterrupted production

Chip formation is a decisive factor for process security; the integrated 3E400N04‑UF4 chipformer is optimised to produce short, broken chips for both P (steel) and K (cast iron) material groups. Short, controllable chips reduce the risk of component or tool damage and simplify handling in automated environments. In practical terms, this means fewer interruptions for chip clearing and a reduced likelihood of surface defects caused by errant swarf. The specification targets industrial turning where repeatable chip control contributes directly to a steady production flow.

Consistent edge stability and predictable component quality

As a coated carbide turning grade, the insert offers a balance between wear resistance and edge strength, which is particularly beneficial when facing variable batch sizes and mixed material runs. The WKP23S grade is tuned for the tribological conditions typical of steel and cast iron turning, enabling consistent dimensional results across a production series. For process planners, this results in reliable tool life estimations and simpler inventory planning. When combined with appropriate cutting data and toolholder selection, the insert supports reproducible surface quality and stable cycle times.
