GX24-3F500N25EM-1 WBS10 — Turning indexable insert, CBN grade for hardened steels (Walter Tools)

GX24-3F500N25EM-1 WBS10 is a CBN turning indexable insert designed for high‑wear, hard‑turning applications, particularly where consistent edge life and surface integrity are required

• CBN grade WBS10 for hardened steels
• High wear resistance and long tool life
• Optimised chip control for stable turning

Maximised process stability for hard turning

The core advantage of a CBN insert in the Walter CBN series is predictable performance when machining hardened workpieces. The CBN‑based cutting material in this insert delivers stable cutting edges under elevated temperatures and abrasive contact, which reduces variation in cycle times and enhances repeatability across batches. For production environments where surface finish and dimensional consistency matter, this turning insert supports a reliable process window and fewer tool changes, contributing to measurable productivity gains.

Lower tooling costs through extended life and reliable chip control

By using the WBS10 grade, the component benefits from long tool life and improved resistance to flank wear relative to conventional carbides in comparable conditions. The insert’s geometry—reflected in the span‑breaker designation—promotes optimised chip control, which reduces the risk of workpiece damage and simplifies chip evacuation in turning operations. The result is lower overall tooling consumption and reduced downtime for tool changes, so cost per component falls even when machining demanding materials.

Material guidance and application notes for best results

The GX24‑3F500N25EM‑1 WBS10 is intended primarily for hard and highly abrasive materials; suitability for specific workpiece alloys should be verified against the manufacturer’s product matrix. Depending on the grade matrix, the insert can be effective on hardened steels and, in some cases, on certain cast or superalloy applications. For first‑time implementation, process engineers are advised to validate cutting parameters under representative conditions and to adjust feed and speed to match machine dynamics and clamping rigidity. This measured approach ensures the insert’s advantages—surface integrity and tool life—are realised in everyday production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The GX24-3F500N25EM-1 WBS10 is purpose‑designed for hardened steels and other high‑wear materials; final suitability should be checked against the product matrix supplied for the Walter Tools insert.

How does the WBS10 grade compare to carbide in hard turning?
WBS10, as a CBN grade, provides superior wear resistance and thermal stability versus carbide when machining hardened workpieces, leading to longer tool life and more consistent surface quality with the GX24‑3F500N25EM‑1 insert.

Is special clamping or tooling required to use this insert?
Standard rigid clamping and a suitable tool holder for turning inserts are recommended; the GX24‑3F500N25EM‑1 benefits most from stable setup to exploit its optimised chip control and wear characteristics.

Can this insert be used on cast iron or superalloys?
Depending on the product matrix, the insert may be applicable to certain cast irons or superalloys, but material‑specific testing is advised before series production with the GX24‑3F500N25EM‑1 WBS10.

Where can application data and recommended cutting parameters be obtained?
Application data and recommended parameters for the Walter Tools GX24-3F500N25EM-1 WBS10 are available from Metav Werkzeuge or the Walter technical documentation; verification under actual machine and workpiece conditions is advised.
