BCMT090304R-K55 WKP35S — milling insert for steel and cast iron, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The BCMT090304R-K55 WKP35S is a parallelogram-style milling insert designed for efficient machining of steels and cast irons, combining a tungsten carbide substrate with a high-performance coating for extended tool life and stable chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• Suitable for steel and cast iron machining
• Parallelogram 75° shape for positive cutting
• Corner radius 0.4 mm for precise finishing

Increased productivity through advanced grade and coating

The combination of the WKP35S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating delivers a clear performance advantage in general milling operations. The coated carbide substrate resists abrasive wear and heat, which supports longer tool life and fewer index changes per production run. For users seeking measurable gains, this results in reduced downtime and more predictable costing per component because inserts remain dimensionally stable over longer cutting intervals. The engineered coating also contributes to consistent chip control, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving reproducibility in serial production.

Reliable material compatibility for process planning

This insert is optimised for the ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron). That means the cutting geometry and grade are tuned to handle the thermal loads and chip forms typical for unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as abrasive cast materials. For shops processing mixed batches, the insert provides a dependable compromise between wear resistance and fracture toughness. Using a grade tailored for both material classes simplifies tool inventory and makes process planning more straightforward when switching between components made from steel and cast iron.

Geometry tuned for surface quality and chip control

The parallelogram 75° form combined with a 7° relief angle produces a positive cutting action that reduces cutting forces and enhances surface finish. The corner radius 0.4 mm supports fine finishing passes where dimensional accuracy and edge integrity are required. The integrated K55 chipbreaker guides chip flow for typical turning-to-milling chip shapes found in P and K materials, helping to avoid long, stringy chips and facilitating safe evacuation. These design elements together reduce the need for frequent rework and contribute to a predictable machining outcome.

Simple integration and dependable repeatability in production

With a standard plate size and tolerance class M, the insert fits common milling cutter bodies and supports consistent seating and clamping accuracy. The BCMT090304R-K55 WKP35S benefits from Walter Tools' focus on stable cutting edges and reproducible performance, which means less time spent on trial-and-error adjustments.
