SX-8E800N08-UF4 WKP23G — Turning indexable insert for steel and cast iron | Walter Tools

The SX-8E800N08-UF4 WKP23G is an indexable turning insert from the Tiger‑tec Gold series, engineered for productive and reliable machining of steel and cast iron.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Reliable chip control for consistent machining
• Optimised for steel and cast iron applications
• Stable cutting edge for high process reliability

Boosted productivity through advanced coating and grade

The combination of Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WKP23G grade delivers measurable gains in tool life and process reliability. The coating is a multi-layer, PVD/CVD‑type technology developed to reduce abrasive wear and thermal impact during high‑speed turning; this translates into fewer index changes and lower tooling costs per part. As a consequence, the insert supports longer uninterrupted runs and predictable performance in mixed production environments, providing a clear cost‑benefit when machining components from steel and cast iron. The selected coated carbide substrate ensures edge stability under typical cutting temperatures, so shops benefit from consistent component tolerances and reduced scrap rates.

Consistent chip control for improved surface finish and uptime

The geometry identified by the chipformer code 8E800N08‑UF4 has been designed to shape and evacuate chips effectively across a range of feeds and depths of cut. Good chip control reduces the risk of re-cutting, protects the workpiece surface and minimises tool‑holder interference. In practical terms, this means improved surface finish and fewer machine stoppages due to chip build‑up. The insert is tuned for the brittle and often abrasive chip behaviour of cast iron as well as the ductile chips from steel grades, so the combination of form and grade yields stable cutting conditions that support repeatable production quality.

Practical advantages that simplify workshop integration

As an indexable turning solution from Walter Tools, this insert offers easy integration into standard toolholder systems and predictable performance across typical turning tasks. The design intent focuses on reproducible results and straightforward tool management, lowering set‑up time and promoting efficient inventory rotation. Beyond immediate productivity gains, the proven behaviour of the grade contributes to long‑term process reliability and operator confidence.
