GX24-3E500N08-UD4 WKP23S — indexable turning insert for steel and cast iron by Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Silver coated

A GX24-3E500N08-UD4 WKP23S indexable turning insert engineered for robust general turning of steel (P) and cast iron (K), offering a coated cemented carbide grade for consistent removal rates.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for wear resistance
• WKP23S coated carbide grade
• Optimised 3E500N08-UD4 chipbreaker
• For machining steel and cast iron

Extended tool life through advanced coating technology

The Tiger·tec Silver coating together with the WKP23S grade results in superior wear resistance and more predictable flank wear progression. As a coated cemented carbide insert, it tolerates the thermal and mechanical loads typical of steel turning, which reduces the frequency of insert changes and supports continuous production. The metallurgical design of the grade is tailored for stable cutting-edge performance, translating into lower overall tooling costs and fewer interruptions in the machining cycle.

Reliable chip control for improved surface quality

Equipped with the 3E500N08-UD4 chipbreaker geometry, this insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation during turning operations. Stable chip behaviour minimises the risk of built-up edge and unexpected surface defects, improving first-pass yield and reducing downstream rework. The optimised chip pocket and edge preparation contribute directly to a consistent surface finish and predictable tool life, which is critical for serial production environments seeking repeatable results.

Broad material range for flexible process planning

Designed for ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the insert supports a wide variety of common turning tasks without compromising edge stability. The combination of the WKP23S grade and the Tiger·tec Silver technology balances abrasion resistance and toughness, enabling effective machining of unalloyed steels, alloyed steels and many cast-iron variants. This versatility simplifies tooling inventories and allows for flexible job planning across mixed-production shops.

Process security and productivity gains

Integrating this insert into standard indexable turning systems enhances process reliability through repeatable edge behaviour and dependable chip control. The product’s geometry and grade focus on delivering consistent machining results, reducing unexpected stoppages and promoting higher effective machine utilisation. For manufacturers seeking measurable productivity improvements, the technical design enables smoother cycle times and supports stable, long-term performance in demanding turning applications.
