GX24-3E400N08-UD4 WKP13S indexable turning insert — Tiger‑tec Silver, for steel & cast iron (Walter Tools)

GX24-3E400N08-UD4 WKP13S is an indexable turning insert designed for productive general turning and finishing of a wide range of ferrous materials

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for high process security
• WKP13S coated carbide grade for robust edge life
• Optimised chipformer 3E400N08‑UD4 for stable cutting
• Suited for steel and cast iron machining

Enhanced cutting stability and reliable edge life

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP13S grade provides a coated carbide geometry that resists abrasive and thermal wear. This results in stable cutting and longer intervals between index changes, which contributes directly to higher machine utilisation and lower tool costs per component. The grade is optimised for the typical heat and chip formation encountered in the ISO 513 groups P (steel) and K (cast iron) so that operators benefit from predictable performance across mixed production batches. The insert form promotes consistent contact with the workpiece, improving surface finish without complex adjustments.

Predictable chip control and increased productivity

The engineered chipbreaker 3E400N08‑UD4 delivers controlled chip formation and evacuation in interrupted and continuous cuts, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and secondary machining. The design supports higher feed rates and stable cutting at common turning speeds, translating into measurable productivity gains on batch runs. Thanks to the coating technology and substrate selection, the insert sustains cutting conditions that would typically shorten the life of conventional grades, enabling longer uninterrupted cycles and better repeatability in serial production. The result is improved throughput with maintained quality.

Practical integration for workshop efficiency

This insert is compatible with standard turning toolholders and inserts of its geometry, so it can be introduced without retooling entire toolsets. The clear material designation (P / K) simplifies process planning: use this insert for unalloyed and alloyed steel as well as a range of cast iron grades. Application data and cutting parameters are available for specific operations; Metav Werkzeuge can provide recommended feeds and speeds for common setups to reduce trial time at the machine. The robust performance of the grade supports reliable lead times and consistent part quality, which is advantageous for jobbing shops and production lines alike.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The GX24-3E400N08-UD4 WKP13S insert is specified for steel (ISO group P) and cast iron (ISO group K), with the grade tuned for typical chip formation and thermal loads in these materials.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating benefit turning operations?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating reduces thermal and abrasive wear on the WKP13S substrate, leading to improved edge life and greater process security during extended cuts.

What role does the 3E400N08‑UD4 chipformer play?
The 3E400N08‑UD4 chipbreaker creates controlled chip shapes and reliable evacuation, decreasing the risk of chip entanglement and supporting higher feeds for improved productivity.

Is this insert compatible with standard holders?
The insert uses a common geometry for indexable turning plates; it fits holders and tool systems that accept the corresponding insert shape and clamping method.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the combination of the WKP13S grade and the robust chipformer provides the resilience needed for many interrupted turning applications, particularly in steel and cast iron.
