GX24-3F500N25-RD4 WKP23S — Turning indexable insert, Tiger·tec Silver, for steel and cast iron (Walter Tools)

GX24-3F500N25-RD4 WKP23S is a turning indexable insert engineered for high-process stability in the machining of steel and cast iron components, suitable for industrial turning operations where consistent results and tool life are decisive

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• WKP23S grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• Stable chip control with 3F500N25-RD4 geometry
• Designed for consistent industrial productivity

Reliable machining performance for steel and cast iron

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP23S carbide grade provides a secure basis for machining steel and cast iron. The coated carbide construction is formulated to tolerate the typical heat and wear mechanisms encountered when cutting these material groups, so the result is improved tool life and fewer interruptions. This reliability translates into steadier cycle times and a lower frequency of tool changes in production environments.

Consistent chip control to protect productivity

The insert’s 3F500N25-RD4 chipbreaker geometry focuses on reliable chip control, reducing the risk of built-up edge and erratic chip forms that can affect surface finish and machine uptime. With predictable chip behaviour, process planners gain greater control over feed and speed windows, which supports sustained surface quality and minimises rework. The design aims to keep chips compact and manageable for automated and manual turning operations.

Coating and grade engineered for industrial demands

The Tiger·tec Silver series delivers a balanced performance between wear resistance and edge stability; this is particularly beneficial for mixed-production shops processing a range of steels and cast irons. The WKP23S grade is a coated carbide that emphasises abrasion resistance while retaining a robust cutting edge, helping to maintain dimensional consistency across long runs. The result is better repeatability and a higher degree of process security for demanding turning tasks.
