GX24-3E500N04-UA4 WKP33S indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver, for steel & cast iron (Walter Tools)

The GX24-3E500N04-UA4 WKP33S is an indexable turning insert engineered for productive machining of steel and cast iron, combining a modern coated-carbide grade with a geometry optimised for reliable chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• WKP33S grade tuned for steel and cast iron
• 3E500N04-UA4 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Stable cutting edge for consistent surface finish

Extended tool life from advanced coating technology

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and a coated-carbide substrate delivers tangible gains in wear resistance and edge stability. Coated carbide reduces abrasive and thermal wear compared with uncoated grades; this means longer intervals between indexings and fewer unplanned tool changes. For production environments, that translates into higher spindle uptime and lower unit cost per part, while maintaining consistent dimensional accuracy and surface condition.

Consistent machining performance on steel and cast iron

Designed for the ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the WKP33S grade manages the specific heat and chip-formation behaviours of both materials. The chemical and mechanical properties of the grade provide balanced toughness and hardness, reducing nose wear when machining unalloyed or alloyed steel as well as the abrasive nature of cast iron. The result is predictable tool life and repeatable component quality across mixed batches.

Efficient chip control that reduces interruptions

The 3E500N04-UA4 chipbreaker geometry promotes short, manageable chips in typical turning feeds and depths for these workpiece materials. Effective chip control lowers the risk of entanglement, decreases cycle interruptions and simplifies post-process handling. For operators and process planners, this means fewer manual interventions and a smoother production flow during long runs or unattended shifts.

Robust grade for repeatable results in series production

The WKP33S composition targets a balance between wear resistance and edge toughness, yielding a robust grade suitable for continuous production. Its stable cutting edge supports consistent surface finishes and dimensional stability, which benefits downstream processes such as grinding or assembly. The combination of a modern coating system and a proven grade enhances process security in serial machining.

Straightforward integration into existing tool systems

The geometry and designation of the insert align with standard turning toolholders, enabling simple replacement in existing inserts pockets without complex reworking. The indexable insert concept keeps tool inventory manageable and allows quick reconditioning by indexing, delivering predictable maintenance cycles and reduced setup times.

Why production engineers specify this insert for demanding tasks

Process engineers select the GX24-3E500N04-UA4 WKP33S when the priority is a balance of longevity, reliable chip behaviour and versatility across steel and cast iron. The combination of Tiger·tec Silver coating, a purpose-developed grade and an effective chipbreaker provides a pragmatic solution for high-throughput turning operations where consistent part quality and machine availability are decisive.
