GX24-3E500N04-GD6 WSM23S indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — for stainless steels and superalloys

GX24-3E500N04-GD6 WSM23S is a coated carbide turning insert designed for demanding turning operations in materials that challenge conventional grades, providing improved wear resistance and edge stability for heavy-duty applications.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• WSM23S grade for stainless and superalloys
• Stable cutting edge for heavy-duty turning
• Optimised chip control with 3E500N04-GD6 geometry

Maximise throughput when machining difficult materials

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM23S cutting grade is engineered to maintain a stable cutting edge under thermal and mechanical stress, which supports consistent cycle times and fewer tool changes. This performance advantage results from a hard, wear-resistant coating that reduces flank wear and a substrate tuned for toughness. For shops working with stainless steels and high-temperature alloys, the result is a more predictable machining process and a reduction in unplanned stoppages, translating directly into higher productivity.

Achieve reliable chip control and surface quality

The insert’s 3E500N04-GD6 chipbreaker geometry is optimised to produce controlled chips even when turning materials prone to long, stringy swarf. Controlled chip formation lowers the risk of surface damage and tool interference, helping to preserve component finish and dimensional accuracy. The geometry works in concert with the coated carbide grade to moderate cutting forces and dissipate heat, which supports improved surface integrity and repeatable part quality in series production.

Reduce operating costs through longer tool life and process security

A grade tailored for tough-to-machine alloys offers lower overall tooling consumption by extending the interval between regrinds or replacements. The WSM23S grade focuses on a balance of toughness and wear resistance, enabling safe machining of both stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys with fewer tool failures. Enhanced tool life and consistent edge retention contribute to predictable tool budgets and simplified tool management in production environments, supporting efficient planning and less downtime.
