• Chipbreaker geometry 3E400N08-UF4

Increased productivity through optimised coating technology

The Tiger·tec Silver series combines a modern coating stack with a precisely engineered substrate to deliver consistent tool life and high process reliability. The WKP23S grade is a coated carbide that balances toughness and abrasion resistance, making it particularly effective where thermal loads and mixed wear mechanisms occur. For series production, this translates into fewer insert changes and more stable cycle times — a measurable contribution to shop-floor efficiency.

Predictable chip control and surface quality

The 3E400N08-UF4 chipbreaker geometry is developed to produce controllable, short chips in typical steel and cast-iron turning scenarios, reducing tool interference and improving surface finish. Controlled chip formation lowers the risk of rework and supports safer automated handling. Combined with the coated carbide construction, the insert helps achieve a reliable surface integrity while maintaining cutting-edge productivity.

Clear material compatibility and practical application

Designed for ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the insert performs across a broad range of carbon, alloy and grey or nodular cast irons. The coating and substrate pairing adapts to the thermal and abrasive demands of these materials, enabling both finishing passes and interrupted cuts where required. For customers with mixed batches, the insert offers flexibility while maintaining consistent dimensional results.

Long-term value through process security and consistency

Walter Tools’ development focus on stable cutting edges and good wear behaviour supports repeatable performance under production loads. The grade and geometry combination aims to reduce variability in tool life, which simplifies inventory management and machining planning. For procurement and workshop managers, that means clearer maintenance schedules and fewer emergency tool stops.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX24-3E400N08-UF4 WKP23S insert is intended for ISO group P (steel) and K (cast iron), delivering stable performance on unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as common cast-iron grades.

Is the insert coated and what does that mean for performance?
Yes, the insert uses the Tiger·tec Silver coating technology; this coated carbide construction gives the WKP23S grade improved wear behaviour and thermal resistance compared with uncoated substrates.

Which chipbreaker does the insert use and why is that important?
The 3E400N08-UF4 chipbreaker geometry provides controlled short-chip formation, which enhances automated handling, reduces thread-up risk and supports a consistent surface finish.

Can this insert be used for both finishing and roughing operations?
The combination of geometry and the WKP23S coated grade allows the insert to be deployed in finishing and many common roughing situations on steel and cast iron, depending on cutting data and machine capability.

Who supplies the original insert and how is brand authenticity assured?
This turning indexable insert is a Walter Tools product; genuine items are supplied as factory-new originals and carry the manufacturer’s specifications.
