Walter 6529719 Grooving Insert GX24 5mm Neutral

Product Description

The WALTER 6529719 is a solid carbide grooving insert engineered for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It belongs to the GX24 series and features a 5.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 24.00 mm, making it well-suited for moderate to deep groove profiles. The insert carries a CVD-applied Al2O3 and TiN coating over the WKP23S carbide grade, delivering heat resistance and wear life on demanding cuts. A CE4 chip breaker geometry and positive rake promote efficient chip control and reduced cutting forces. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible GX24 self-grip toolholders.

This insert is designed primarily for machining steel (ISO material code P) and cast iron (ISO material code K) in production turning environments, both residential-shop and industrial-scale. The neutral hand orientation suits straight-in grooving applications. With a corner radius of 0.30 mm and a cutting height of 4.09 mm, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy on groove profiles. The GX24 self-grip holding method allows fast indexing without additional clamping hardware, reducing changeover time on production runs.

Key Features

• CVD-applied Al2O3 and TiN coating (WKP23S grade) for extended wear life on steel and cast iron
• CE4 chip breaker with positive rake for reliable chip evacuation and lower cutting forces
• Neutral hand orientation for straight-in grooving on CNC turning centers
• Self-grip insert holding method enables fast, tool-free indexing
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards; ANSI/ISO code GX24-3E500N03-CE4 WKP23S

Compatibility

Designed for use with GX24 series self-grip grooving toolholders. Primary workpiece materials are steel (P) and cast iron (K) per ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the self-grip seating feature to fully seat the insert in the pocket before resuming cuts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure accurate positioning and prevent premature edge failure.
