GX24-3E500N25-RF8 WSM13S – Indexable turning insert with Tiger·tec Silver coating by Walter Tools

GX24-3E500N25-RF8 WSM13S is an indexable turning insert designed for heavy-duty and demanding turning tasks, optimised for stainless steel and high-temperature superalloys

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM13S
• Suitable for stainless steels and superalloys
• Stable cutting edge for continuous production
• GX24 geometry with 3E500N25‑RF8 chipbreaker

High-performance cutting for demanding materials

The combination of Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WSM13S grade delivers a balance of thermal resilience and wear resistance that benefits turning operations on stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys. The coated carbide substrate is engineered to resist thermal loading and reduce adhesion-related wear; this results in a stable cutting edge and improved dimensional consistency across long production runs. For shops working with materials that tend to work-harden or form built-up edges, the insert’s specification supports predictable chip formation and fewer unscheduled tool changes.

Fewer tool changes through extended edge life

A key advantage of this turning insert is reduced downtime due to extended edge life from the optimised coating and grade combination. The coated carbide and chipforming geometry promote effective chip control, limiting surface damage and enhancing repeatability. In practice, this translates to fewer tool indexings and lower machine idle time, improving overall productivity for batch production or continuous turning operations. The result is a measurable increase in process reliability, particularly where consistent surface finish and tight tolerances are required.

Practical application and machining guidance

The GX24 geometry together with the 3E500N25-RF8 chipbreaker is configured for robust turning strategies, enabling stable cuts at moderate to heavy depths of cut where chip evacuation is critical. The chipbreaker design supports segmented chips for secure removal, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving coolant access. For shops evaluating tooling options, the GX24-3E500N25-RF8 WSM13S insert performs well in interrupted cuts and applications with elevated cutting temperatures.
