GX24-3E500N04-UD4 WKP13S — Turning insert, Tiger‑tec Silver (Walter Tools)

A GX24-3E500N04-UD4 WKP13S indexable turning insert engineered for productive turning of steel and cast iron, offering optimised chip formation and durable coated carbide performance

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• Optimised chip formation for stable cutting
• Coated carbide grade WKP13S for steels and cast iron
• Consistent edge for productive turning

Longer tool life through advanced coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver series and the WKP13S grade provides measurable improvements in wear resistance and process stability. The insert is manufactured from a coated carbide substrate; the coating reduces flank wear and thermal softening during continuous turning, which translates to longer cutting intervals and fewer tool changes. For batch and series production this means higher uptime and reduced cycle-time variation. The technical advantage of a coated carbide insert is that the hard surface layer resists abrasive wear while the substrate maintains toughness, balancing life and reliability.

Controlled chips and improved surface quality

The integrated chipbreaker 3E500N04‑UD4 is designed to produce predictable, segmented chips in both steel (ISO group P) and cast iron (ISO group K). Optimised chip control reduces the risk of tangled or long stringy chips, improves coolant access to the cutting zone and supports a stable cutting force. As a result, the need for secondary finishing can be diminished and dimensional consistency rises. In practice, this leads to fewer machine stops for chip clearance, safer operation and a cleaner shop floor.

Broad applicability with consistent performance

Designed within the Tiger‑tec Silver family, this insert suits a wide range of turning tasks where a balance of productivity and tool life is required. The WKP13S specification targets common steels and cast irons and is catalogued for general-purpose turning geometries. For operations seeking repeatable results, the insert delivers consistent cutting edges and predictable wear behaviour, supporting process reproducibility and efficient tool management. Where higher speeds and steady material removal rates are part of the machining strategy, the geometry and grade provide a pragmatic compromise between aggressiveness and longevity.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this insert?
The insert is specified for ISO groups P and K, meaning it is suitable for machining steels and cast iron; the WKP13S grade and Tiger‑tec Silver coating are optimised for these material families.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating benefit production?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating reduces abrasive wear and thermal effects on the cutting edge, extending tool life and supporting longer uninterrupted cutting, which improves overall production efficiency.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its effect?
The chipbreaker 3E500N04‑UD4 produces segmented chips for safer evacuation and more consistent cutting forces, enhancing surface finish and reducing the need for manual chip clearing.

Is this insert suitable for high-speed turning?
The coated carbide construction and grade WKP13S allow increased cutting speeds compared with uncoated grades; actual speed suitability depends on workpiece, toolholder and machine parameters.

Can the insert be used for finishing and roughing operations?
The insert’s geometry and grade provide a balance between wear resistance and toughness, making it applicable for medium-turning tasks; tool life and surface quality determine specific suitability for roughing or finishing.
