GX30-5E800N08-UD4 WKP23S — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

GX30-5E800N08 WKP23S is an indexable turning insert engineered for efficient finishing and medium‑to‑rough turning of steel and cast iron components

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long life
• WKP23S grade for steel and cast iron
• Stable cutting edge for consistent results
• Optimised chipbreaker 5E800N08-UD4

Longer tool life through advanced coating technology

The combination of a coated carbide substrate and the Tiger·tec Silver technology reduces abrasive wear and extends edge life, resulting in fewer insert changes and less downtime. The WKP23S grade is tuned to handle the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of steel turning, improving average tool life and delivering lower total tooling costs. For manufacturers seeking measurable increases in uptime, the enhanced wear resistance translates directly into improved throughput and repeatability.

Reliable chip control and process stability for P and K materials

Designed for the ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the insert geometry 5E800N08‑UD4 provides controlled chip formation and evacuation under varied cutting conditions. The specified chipbreaker helps produce short, manageable chips in cast iron and stable curls in steels, reducing risk to the workpiece and machine. As an indexable insert, it offers consistent cutting performance across indexed edges, supporting predictable cycle times and surface integrity in production environments.

Consistent results, easy integration and supplier backing

The insert’s form factor and standard designation make it straightforward to integrate into existing turning toolholders and tool‑change routines. Backed by the Walter Tools portfolio, the grade and coating combination delivers process security and repeatable surface quality, aiding quality assurance and downstream operations. For application matching and optimisation, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical consultation to ensure the insert selection aligns with machining strategy and batch sizes, helping to reduce scrap and improve first‑pass yield.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX30-5E800N08‑UD4 WKP23S insert is suitable for machining steel (ISO group P) and cast iron (ISO group K), reflecting the WKP23S grade tuning for those material behaviours.

What does the designation 5E800N08‑UD4 indicate?
The code denotes the insert geometry and the integrated chipbreaker design; 5E800N08‑UD4 is optimised for controlled chip formation in both steel and cast iron machining with consistent cutting forces.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating benefit production?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating offers improved wear resistance and thermal stability, which reduces edge wear and increases the number of productive cuts per index, supporting longer tool life and fewer tool changes.

Is this insert compatible with standard turning toolholders?
Yes; the insert follows common indexable insert forms and can be used in compatible Walter Tools and third‑party turning toolholders that accept the specified insert geometry.
