SX-4E480N03-CE4 WSM33G – Indexable insert for turning and milling, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The SX-4E480N03-CE4 WSM33G is an indexable insert engineered for machining stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys, combining a Tiger·tec Gold coating with a geometry optimised for reliable chip formation and cutting‑edge stability.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated WSM33G grade
• Optimised chip control 4E480N03-CE4
• Designed for stainless steel and superalloys
• Reliable cutting-edge stability

Increased performance through advanced coating technology

The Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WSM33G grade create a hard, wear‑resistant surface on a coated carbide substrate, which improves thermal resistance and reduces adhesion on the cutting edge. For the machining of stainless steel and similar materials, this combination reduces the tendency to form built‑up edge and supports a stable cutting process. The result is a measurable reduction in unplanned tool changes and more consistent part quality, making the insert well suited to production environments where uptime and repeatability are priorities.

Predictable chip control thanks to dedicated geometry

The 4E480N03-CE4 chipbreaker is designed to channel chips reliably across a range of feed rates and depths of cut, improving surface finish and minimising the risk of chip entanglement. This geometry supports controlled chip segmentation even when machining tough, heat‑resistant materials, which otherwise tend to produce long, stringy chips. The optimised chip control contributes directly to extended tool life and fewer interruptions during turning and milling operations, supporting a more efficient machining cycle and reduced secondary operations.

Application focus and process security for demanding alloys

Certified for ISO material groups M and S, the insert addresses the typical challenges of these groups: stainless steels (ISO M) that are tough and prone to work hardening, and superalloys/titanium (ISO S) that have poor thermal conductivity and stress the cutting edge. The indexable insert format enables quick index changes and consistent edge geometry, which together enhance process security and make tool management straightforward. In production settings where component consistency and traceability matter, this solution supports reproducible results across batches and shifts.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steels?
The SX-4E480N03-CE4 WSM33G insert from Walter Tools is specifically designed for ISO M materials and delivers improved resistance to built‑up edge when machining stainless steel.

Which materials beyond stainless steel can be machined with this grade?
The WSM33G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating are formulated for ISO S applications as well, making the insert suitable for heat‑resistant superalloys and, depending on geometry, titanium.

What does the 4E480N03-CE4 designation indicate?
The 4E480N03-CE4 code refers to the insert geometry and chipbreaker design; this geometry is optimised to improve chip control and surface finish during turning and milling.

Can the insert be used in both turning and milling operations?
Yes, the SX‑series format and the specified geometry allow the insert to be used for both turning and certain milling applications, providing flexibility in mixed production environments.

How is process stability improved with this insert?
Process stability is supported by the combination of a wear‑resistant Tiger·tec Gold coating, the robust WSM33G grade and the 4E480N03-CE4 chipbreaker, which together reduce edge failure and maintain consistent cutting behaviour.
