GX24-3E400N08-UD4 WKP23S Drehwendeschneidplatte – coated insert for Steel and Cast Iron machining (Walter Tools)

The GX24-3E400N08-UD4 WKP23S is a coated indexable insert engineered for efficient turning of steel and cast iron, combining Tiger·tec Silver wear protection with a purpose-built chipbreaker for consistent chip formation and extended tool life

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• Optimised for Steel and Cast Iron machining
• Stable cutting edge and consistent chip control

Longer tool life through advanced coating technology

The Tiger·tec Silver technology provides a coated carbide substrate with enhanced thermal stability and reduced flank wear. This results in fewer tool changes and a more predictable process window, which supports higher uptimes on production lathes. The WKP23S grade balances toughness and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for interrupted cuts and mixed batch work where component variety demands consistent performance.

Reliable chip control for safer, faster machining

Equipped with the 3E400N08-UD4 chipbreaker geometry, the insert promotes controlled chip formation when machining P (steel) and K (cast iron) materials according to ISO groupings. Predictable chips reduce the risk of workpiece damage and machine downtime, improving cycle times and operator safety. The combination of geometry and grade helps maintain low cutting forces and supports stable feeds for a consistent surface finish.

Geometry and edge stability for consistent results

The insert’s ground and coated cutting edges deliver repeatable dimensional accuracy and surface quality across production runs. Edge integrity is optimised for repeated indexing, which reduces setup frequency and contributes to cost-effective operation. Thanks to the design focus on edge stability, the component offers high process reliability even under varying cutting conditions, supporting lean manufacturing strategies and shorter lead times.

Practical benefits for the workshop and production line

For job shops and larger production facilities, the insert provides an economical path to improved productivity: reduced tooling changes, better part quality, and simplified grade selection for mixed-material batches. The Tiger·tec Silver series and the WKP23S grade are intended to deliver a reliable balance between wear resistance and toughness, so that machining planners can focus on throughput and quality rather than frequent requalification of tooling.
