GX24-3F500N04EM-1 WBS10 – indexable turning insert (CBN) for hardened steels | Walter Tools

The GX24-3F500N04EM-1 WBS10 is an indexable turning insert with a CBN grade, engineered for high‑wear machining of hardened steels and comparable high‑strength materials.

• CBN grade WBS10 for extreme wear resistance
• Designed for hardened steels and superalloys
• Walter CBN series ensures stable cutting edge
• Optimised chip control for productive machining

Longer, more predictable service life for hard turning

The combination of CBN chemistry and the WBS10 specification delivers markedly improved tool life in hard‑machining operations compared with conventional carbide solutions. The high abrasion resistance of the cutting material reduces flank wear and extends effective cutting intervals, which translates into fewer tool changes and reduced unscheduled stoppages. For production planning this means a steadier process window and improved overall productivity when machining components with hardened surfaces.

Consistent edge stability for repeatable surface quality

The Walter CBN series is manufactured to keep a stable cutting edge under thermally and mechanically demanding conditions, promoting consistent part quality over long tool runs. A durable edge reduces the need for rework and supports tight tolerances across serial production, improving first‑pass yield and lowering downstream inspection effort. Emphasis on surface finish and dimensional repeatability makes this insert suitable where consistent component appearance and accurate form are priorities.

Controlled chip formation to enhance machining efficiency

The geometry marked 3F500N04EM‑1 combines a defined chipbreaker concept with the CBN material to improve chip control during interrupted and continuous cuts. Improved chip evacuation reduces the risk of re‑cutting and tool damage, enabling higher stable cutting speeds and better utilisation of machine spindle time. The result is higher material removal rates in constrained machining envelopes while maintaining process safety and reducing cycle variability.

Designed for demanding materials with clear process guidance

This insert belongs to the Walter CBN / Hartstoff series and is primarily intended for hardened steels; depending on the specific workpiece and the product matrix, the same grade can be applicable to certain castings or superalloys. Material compatibility should be confirmed against the manufacturer's application matrix to ensure the best performance. Clear selection of grade and geometry supports process reliability and reduces trial iterations in set‑ups.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert primarily suited to?
The GX24-3F500N04EM-1 WBS10 is primarily suited to hardened steels; depending on the application matrix the CBN grade may also be suitable for certain castings or superalloys, as indicated by Walter Tools.

What advantage does a CBN grade deliver in turning hardened parts?
CBN provides superior abrasion resistance and thermal stability, which helps the insert maintain cutting geometry and deliver longer service life when machining hardened components compared with traditional carbide inserts.

How does the chipbreaker geometry affect machining?
The 3F500N04EM‑1 geometry is designed to improve chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of chip entanglement and enabling more consistent cutting conditions during both continuous and interrupted turning.

Is this insert compatible with standard indexable turning systems?
The insert is an indexable turning insert intended for standard clamping systems that accept the given ISO designation; compatibility with a specific holder must be verified by comparing geometries and clamping features.

How should the correct grade and geometry be selected for an application?
Selection should follow material type, hardness and the intended cutting parameters; the Walter CBN / Hartstoff series guidance and the product matrix are appropriate starting points to ensure optimal performance.
