Built to the GX34CF5 WSM33S specification, it features a 0.118-inch cutting width and a 0.012-inch corner radius, with a neutral hand orientation that suits a wide range of toolholder configurations. The WSM33S grade uses a PVD-applied aluminum finish coating  -  part of the Tiger-tec Silver series  -  engineered for thermal stability and edge retention under demanding cutting conditions. A 10-degree rake angle and CF5 chip breaker geometry support controlled chip evacuation during interrupted or continuous grooving cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is aimed at machinists and tooling specialists working with superalloys and other difficult-to-machine materials, including materials classified under ISO material groups M, P, and S. Typical applications include grooving, parting-off, and groove turning on precision components in aerospace, energy, and industrial manufacturing environments. The multi-use design allows the insert to serve across several grooving scenarios without requiring a dedicated single-purpose setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD aluminum coating for extended tool life in superalloy machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.118-inch cutting width with 0.012-inch corner radius for precise groove geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCF5 chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip control and evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces on heat-sensitive and work-hardening materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand insert compatible with a broad range of GX34 toolholder systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiger-tec Silver series grade WSM33S engineered for thermal and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with GX34-series toolholders.

Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating the insert. Use the torque wrench specified by the toolholder manufacturer for the clamping screw  -  do not over-torque, as carbide inserts are brittle and may fracture under uneven clamping load. Confirm cutting parameters against the WSM33S grade recommendations for the specific workpiece material before resuming operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.118 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.012 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: GX34\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2E300N03\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: WSM33S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: CF5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Finish, PVD Process\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tiger-tec Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Superalloys (ISO groups M, P, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: GX342E300N03CF5 WSM33S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: GX342E300N03CF5 WSM33S\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.065 pounds\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: 7318887\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WALTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972016668978,"sku":"7318887","price":294.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bc20b1ea6a8d201aad4eb2f67b706857.jpg?v=1789961070","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/walter-7318887-grooving-insert-gx34cf5-wsm33s-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
