BCGT160508R-G55 WKP35G milling indexable insert – parallelogram 75° form, for steel and cast iron, Walter Tools

BCGT160508R-G55 WKP35G is a precision milling insert tailored for high‑productivity machining of steel and cast iron in industrial milling operations

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for longer service life
• WKP35G grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• 7° relief angle and 0.8 mm corner radius
• Parallelogram 75° form with G55 chipformer

Greater throughput thanks to advanced coating and grade

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating combined with the WKP35G cemented carbide composition is engineered to resist abrasive wear and maintain edge integrity under elevated temperatures typical of steel and cast iron machining. This technical pairing reduces flank wear and stabilises cutting performance, enabling longer intervals between index changes and fewer unexpected tool interventions. For production environments this translates into measurable gains in effective machining time and repeatable surface quality.

Stable cutting geometry for predictable results

The parallelogram 75° insert geometry and the 7° relief create a robust cutting edge that supports radial engagement and axial cutting depths common in roughing and semi‑finishing strategies. The G55 chipformer delivers controlled chip breakage, minimising built‑up edge and reducing the risk of chip entanglement in deep pockets. The 0.8 mm corner radius balances strength and surface finish, offering a reliable compromise between edge robustness and achievable part tolerances.

Practical compatibility and application guidance

Designated by the ISO code BCGT160508R‑G55 WKP35G, the insert is sized for holders accepting the 16 designation and the thickness code provided. The material designation P / K confirms suitability for unalloyed and alloyed steel (P) and cast iron (K) in accordance with ISO 513 material groupings. This makes the insert a versatile option for mixed‑batch production where both material families are processed. For integration, confirm toolholder support for the parallelogram 75° form and the G55 chipformer geometry to leverage the insert’s chip control and edge life characteristics.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The BCGT160508R‑G55 WKP35G insert from Walter Tools is intended for machining steel (P) and cast iron (K) according to ISO material groups.

How does the Tiger‑tec Gold coating benefit production?
Tiger‑tec Gold coating on the WKP35G grade improves wear resistance and thermal stability, which extends edge life and supports higher cutting performance during serial milling operations.

Which chip control can be expected with this geometry?
The G55 chipformer in combination with the parallelogram 75° form produces controlled chip breakage, reducing chip stringing and improving process reliability in interrupted cuts.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holder designations?
The ISO designation BCGT160508R‑G55 indicates the insert geometry and size; compatibility depends on holder acceptance of the 75° parallelogram form and the specified insert thickness code.

What corner radius and relief angle are provided?
This cutting insert features a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle, offering a balance between edge strength and surface finish.
