Walter 6193803 Grooving Insert WSM33S 3mm Tiger-tec Silver

Product Description

The WALTER 6193803 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Tiger-tec Silver series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. It carries a WSM33S grade designation and features a multi-layer PVD coating combining Al2O3, TiAlN, and ZrCN for extended tool life under demanding cutting conditions. The insert delivers a 3.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 2.00 mm and a corner radius of 0.30 mm. The GX-style interface uses a clamp holding method, and the double-ended design allows both ends to be used before replacement. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible WALTER GX toolholders.

This insert is suited for grooving and recessing operations in materials rated under ISO material grades M30, P35, and S30, covering stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys including titanium and nickel-based alloys. The UD4 chip breaker geometry is optimized for controlled chip formation in these workpiece families. It is commonly used in production turning environments where consistent groove geometry and surface finish are critical. The neutral hand orientation allows use in both right-hand and left-hand toolholder configurations where the GX2 interface is specified.

Key Features

• Tiger-tec Silver PVD coating: Al2O3, TiAlN, and ZrCN multilayer for heat and wear resistance
• 3.00 mm cutting width with 0.30 mm corner radius for precise groove geometry
• Double-ended insert body - two usable cutting edges per insert
• UD4 chip breaker geometry engineered for superalloy and stainless steel applications
• Clamp-style GX interface for secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders
• Neutral hand - compatible with both right-hand and left-hand GX toolholder configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use with WALTER GX-style clamping toolholders that accept the GX24 interface. Compatible material grades include ISO designations M30, P35, and S30, covering stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, and superalloy workpieces. ANSI code GX242E300N03UD4 WSM33S and ISO code GX24-2E300N03-UD4 apply.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed machinist or CNC toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the correct torx or hex key specified for the GX clamping system to secure the clamp to the manufacturer's recommended procedure - do not overtighten by feel alone, as insert fracture may result. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for debris or wear before each insert change.
