GX24-3F400N20EM-1 WBS10 indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — CBN grade for hardened steels

A GX24-3F400N20EM-1 WBS10 indexable turning insert engineered for high-wear turning tasks, especially suited to machining hardened steels where stable edge life and consistent chip formation are required

• CBN grade WBS10 for high wear resistance
• Optimised chip control for hardened materials
• Stable cutting edge for repeatable performance
• Designed for demanding, high-hardness turning

Maximised wear resistance for prolonged runs

The insert is built on a CBN basis, with the WBS10 grade designed to resist abrasive wear in high-hardness machining. Cubic boron nitride (CBN) is a superabrasive material that maintains cutting performance where conventional carbide wears rapidly; this means fewer index changes and longer productive tool life. For operations involving hardened steels, the combination of CBN and robust edge geometry reduces unscheduled stops and tooling costs. Suitability for specific alloys should be verified against the manufacturer’s product matrix to ensure optimal cut data and life.

Consistent chip control for improved surface quality

Equipped with the 3F400N20EM-1 chipbreaker, the insert provides controlled chip formation that supports stable process behaviour and consistent surface finish. Effective chip control shortens secondary operations and lowers scrap rates by producing predictable swarf shapes and sizes, especially under interrupted or demanding feeds. The chipbreaker geometry contributes directly to heat management at the cutting zone, which in turn preserves the cutting edge and helps maintain repeatable dimensional results across batches.

Process reliability that supports productivity

The design focusses on a stable cutting edge and repeatability in series production, helping to achieve uninterrupted machining cycles and reliable component tolerances. Integration into standard toolholder systems is possible by matching the ISO designation and checking mounting compatibility; correct pairing helps exploit the insert’s wear properties and maintain consistent cycle times. For machining strategies where high repeatability and predictable tool life are priorities, this CBN solution supports higher throughput and lower overall tooling consumption.
