It features a PVD-applied multilayer coating of Al2O3, TiAlN, and ZrCN engineered for heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The insert delivers a 6 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 3 mm and a full-radius corner profile at 3 mm radius. The RF8 chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation during grooving operations. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in precision metalcutting environments are the primary installers of this insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving operations on superalloys and a range of metallic workpiece materials classified under ISO material grades M20, S20, and P20. It fits applications in both production and job-shop environments where consistent groove geometry and tight tolerances are required. The double-end configuration allows both ends of the insert to be used, extending service intervals between changeovers. It is clamped into compatible GX-system toolholders and is part of a multi-use tooling platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with PVD-applied Al2O3, TiAlN, and ZrCN multilayer coating for thermal and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 mm cutting width with 3 mm maximum depth of cut and full 3 mm corner radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRF8 chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation during grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-end insert design extends usable life per insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with ANSI and ISO tooling standards (ANSI Code: GX24-4E600N300-RF8 WSM23S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in GX-system clamp-style toolholders compatible with 4E-size inserts.

Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer  -  do not overtighten the clamp, as this can fracture the carbide. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Follow the machine tool manufacturer's safe toolchange procedures and applicable shop safety protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: GX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4E600N300\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 mm (0.2362 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 mm (0.1181 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: WSM23S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M20, S20, P20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Al2O3, TiAlN, ZrCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: RF8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tiger-tec\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Superalloy (M, P, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9449 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: GX24-4E600N300-RF8 WSM23S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: GX24-4E600N300-RF8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WALTER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6166566\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WALTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023050666290,"sku":"6166566","price":857.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/beecf99fed7404012cddc51fa9f2250d.jpg?v=1790013752","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/walter-6166566-grooving-insert-wsm23s-tiger-tec","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
