BCGT120408R-G55 WSP45G Parallelogram 75° milling insert — Tiger·tec Gold by Walter Tools

The BCGT120408R-G55 WSP45G is a robust milling insert designed for versatile roughing and finishing in demanding workshops, suitable for machining Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature alloys.

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD-coated carbide
• Suitable for Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Parallelogram 75° shape for versatile cutting
• 7° clearance angle, 0.8 mm corner radius

Maximise cutting performance with advanced coating technology

The Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating combined with a wear-resistant carbide substrate provides a clear benefits profile: improved abrasion resistance, thermal stability and longer tool life under elevated cutting speeds. This leads to fewer tool changes and a more predictable production flow, which directly improves throughput and reduces per-piece machining costs. The WSP45G grade was developed for milling tasks that demand a balance of toughness and hardness, enabling reliable edge stability when machining complex batch runs.

Reduce downtime through broad material capability

Designed for the ISO groups P, M and S, this insert excels in machining Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys such as Titanium and superalloys. The combination of a tough substrate and PVD treatment ensures safer chip formation and reduced risk of built-up edge when facing sticky or hot-working materials. As a result, component quality and cycle-time consistency are improved, supporting lean production goals and helping maintain process security on multi-material production orders.

Geometry engineered for consistent surface quality and chip control

The insert’s Parallelogram 75° form and positive cutting geometry deliver flexibility in approach angles and reliable engagement in pocketing and face milling. The modest 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish, while the 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing and heat generation at the flank. The integrated chipbreaker G55 promotes short, controllable chips that evacuate reliably, lowering the risk of re-cutting and protecting the cutting edge—benefits that translate into consistent component surfaces and predictable tool life in serial production.
