GX24-3E500N08-UD4 WKP13S turning indexable insert — Tiger‑tec Silver coating | Walter Tools

The GX24-3E500N08-UD4 WKP13S is an indexable turning insert designed for precision machining of steel and cast iron, combining a robust coated‑carbide grade with a dedicated chipbreaker for reliable production.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for long tool life
• Optimised chipbreaker 3E500N08-UD4
• Suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K)
• Coated carbide grade WKP13S for stability

Enhanced process reliability through coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating with the WKP13S grade provides a measurable increase in wear resistance and consistent edge behaviour under typical turning conditions. The coated‑carbide construction reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into longer intervals between index changes and fewer unscheduled tool changes on the shop floor. As a result, cycle times remain stable and the cutting edge maintains performance across repetitive batches, supporting a predictable production rhythm and lower overall tooling costs.

Predictable chip control and material compatibility

The insert's 3E500N08‑UD4 chipbreaker geometry is engineered to produce short, controllable chips when machining both steel (ISO group P) and cast iron (ISO group K). In practice this means reduced risk of chip entanglement, safer handling at higher feeds and easier chip evacuation from the cutting zone. For readers unfamiliar with the ISO codes: P denotes steels (unalloyed and alloyed) and K denotes cast iron; the grade and geometry are matched to the thermal and abrasive behaviour typical of these groups. This targeted design improves the surface finish and reduces the need for secondary operations caused by erratic chip formation.

Integrating the insert for greater productivity

Adopting this insert supports a leaner turning process by combining process reliability with simple inventory management: the WKP13S grade fits a broad range of steel and cast‑iron applications and the standardised insert designation aids tool planning. Fewer index changes and consistent cutting behaviour shorten machine downtime and contribute to higher net throughput. For production planners the key benefit is a stable machining window that allows for repeatable setups and dependable tool‑life forecasting, which in turn simplifies cost‑per‑part calculations and enhances capacity planning.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX24‑3E500N08‑UD4 WKP13S insert is intended for steel (ISO group P) and cast iron (ISO group K), reflecting the design goals of the WKP13S grade and the Tiger‑tec Silver coating.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating benefit tool life?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WKP13S grade reduces abrasive and thermal wear, so the insert keeps its cutting edge longer and delivers more consistent performance across production runs.

What is the role of the 3E500N08‑UD4 chipbreaker?
The 3E500N08‑UD4 chipbreaker shapes and breaks the chips into short, controllable segments during turning of steel and cast iron, improving chip evacuation and surface quality while lowering handling risks.

Is this insert suitable for high‑feed turning operations?
The combination of the WKP13S grade and the chipbreaker geometry offers robust performance across a range of feeds; specific feed and speed recommendations depend on workpiece material and machine rigidity.

Can the GX24‑3E500N08‑UD4 be used for finishing passes?
Yes — the insert provides stable cutting behaviour that supports predictable surface finishes; final pass parameters should be selected according to the required surface quality and dimensional tolerances.
