GX24-3E400N20-RD4 WKP23S turning indexable insert — Tiger·tec Silver, for steel and cast iron

GX24-3E400N20-RD4 WKP23S is a coated turning indexable insert designed for productive machining of steel (P) and cast iron (K) in industrial turning operations

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high wear resistance
• Suited for steel (P) and cast iron (K)
• Precision 3E400N20-RD4 chipbreaker geometry

Longer tool life through optimised coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating with the WKP23S coated-carbide grade delivers improved wear resistance and consistent performance under thermal load. This engineered coating technology reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes. For turning operations where repeatability and uptime matter, the enhanced surface hardness and adhesive-wear protection help maintain dimensional stability across tool life. The insert’s construction supports predictable edge behaviour during medium- to high-duty turning of steels and grey irons.

Stable chip formation and process security

A defined chipbreaker specification — 3E400N20-RD4 — provides controlled chip formation and evacuation during continuous and interrupted cuts. Stable chips reduce the risk of workpiece surface damage and tool edge overload, improving process security and surface finish consistency. For production environments that prioritise throughput, the chip geometry is tuned to manage the heat and mechanical load typical of machining steel (P) and cast iron (K), assisting in maintaining constant cutting forces and minimising the need for excessive machine adjustments.

Flexibility for mixed-production shops

The insert’s design supports a range of turning tasks without frequent grade changes, offering versatility where batches include both steels and castings. As a coated indexable insert, it provides a practical balance between economy and performance: fewer insert changes and stable productivity. Selection of this insert suits applications that demand consistent surface quality and repeatable tool life across differing component geometries, making it a reliable choice for production turning in general engineering and subcontract manufacturing.
