BCMT090316R-G55 WKP35S – Milling indexable insert with Tiger‑tec Silver coating by Walter Tools

A BCMT090316R‑G55 WKP35S milling insert designed for general steel and cast iron machining, offering a parallelogram 75° form with a 7° clearance angle for reliable chip control and long tool life

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• Optimised G55 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Suitable for steel and cast iron machining
• 7° clearance angle with 1.6 mm corner radius

Consistent performance for steel and cast iron milling

The BCMT090316R‑G55 WKP35S is configured for high‑productivity cutting of ISO groups P and K, which correspond to steel and cast iron respectively. Its design leverages the Tiger‑tec Silver coating to reduce flank wear and maintain a stable cutting edge under varying thermal loads. For production planners this means fewer insert changes and more predictable process windows, while maintenance teams benefit from extended tool life that supports continuous operation.

Secure chip management and edge geometry that reduces rework

The G55 chipbreaker is optimised for consistent chip formation in interrupted and continuous cuts, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of built‑up edge. The parallelogram 75° shape, combined with a 7° clearance angle, yields a favourable cutting geometry that balances shear and compressive forces. The 1.6 mm corner radius helps to distribute cutting stresses and enhances surface integrity, lowering the need for secondary finishing operations on many workpiece geometries.

Coating and grade advantages explained for practical use

The insert’s grade, WKP35S, is a coated carbide variant within the Tiger‑tec Silver series. This coating system is developed to offer resistance to abrasive wear typical of cast materials and the thermal cycling seen when machining steels. In practice, the coating reduces friction at the cutting edge and improves edge retention, which supports higher cutting speeds and, consequently, improved throughput where machine and process parameters allow.

Integration, tolerance and application guidance

With a tolerance class M and a plate size of 09, this insert suits a broad range of milling holders and standard clamping systems. The execution code T and the designation BCMT090316R‑G55 indicate compatibility with holders designed for negative inserts in indexed milling cutters. Engineers evaluating tooling options will appreciate the predictable fit and repeatability offered by the specified geometry and tolerance, which simplifies fixture setup and replacement routines.
