GX24-3E400N08-UD4 WKP33S — Indexable turning insert for steel and cast iron (Tiger·tec Silver) by Walter Tools

The GX24-3E400N08-UD4 WKP33S is an indexable turning insert designed for productive machining of steel and cast iron, combining a coated carbide grade in the Tiger·tec Silver series with a dedicated chipbreaker geometry.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide
• Optimised for steel and cast iron machining
• Stable cutting edge and good wear resistance
• Consistent performance in productive turning

Precision and productivity for demanding turning operations

The Tiger·tec Silver series paired with the WKP33S grade ensures a robust carbide substrate and a hard, wear-resistant coating that extends cutting life and maintains dimensional stability during extended production runs. Thanks to the coating and substrate combination, the insert delivers consistent tool life and predictable performance, which reduces unscheduled tool changes and supports higher machine utilisation. The result is reliable cycle times and fewer interruptions in a production environment.

Optimised for the thermal and abrasive challenges of P and K groups

Designed specifically for ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the geometry and coating address the distinct demands of these materials: effective heat management for steels and abrasion resistance for cast iron. The coating technology helps to reduce built-up edge formation on steels and to withstand the abrasive particulates encountered with cast components. This leads to improved surface integrity and fewer secondary finishing operations, providing a measurable benefit to throughput and overall component quality.

Controlled chip formation and surface finish improvement

The insert’s chipbreaker, code 3E400N08-UD4, is engineered to produce short, controllable chips under typical turning feeds and speeds, preventing chip entanglement and enhancing operator safety. Controlled chip flow reduces the risk of re-cutting and contributes to a more consistent surface finish, which can lower the need for further machining. Stable chip control also supports automated processes by lowering the likelihood of stoppages caused by poor chip evacuation.

Seamless integration and process reliability in production

This indexable insert is compatible with standard toolholder systems and is suitable for use in both small-batch and serial production. Its combination of coating, grade and geometry promotes process stability and repeatable results across varying job lots. For operations seeking to balance productivity with component quality, this insert represents a practical choice: it supports high material removal rates while helping to maintain tolerances and reduce the total cost of machining over time. The SKU GX24-3E400N08-UD4-WKP33S-WALTER identifies the original Walter Tools item for procurement and traceability.
