BCMT090316R-G55 WSM45X indexable milling insert – coated carbide, for stainless steels (Walter Tools)

The BCMT090316R-G55 WSM45X is an indexable milling insert designed for reliable machining of stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys, combining a robust geometry with a specialised chipbreaker for consistent process results

• Coated carbide WSM45X for tough materials
• Parallelogram 75° geometry for robust milling
• 7° relief angle for reliable chip control
• 1.6 mm corner radius for improved edge strength

Optimised for rostfreie Stähle and heat-resistant alloys

The insert is based on the WSM45X coated carbide grade, developed for machining stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat-resistant superalloys and titanium (ISO group S). This composition improves thermal resistance and supports secure chip formation, which reduces the risk of built-up edge during long cycles. For users processing challenging materials, the combination of coating technology and substrate hardness leads to more consistent surface finishes and fewer interruptions in production.

Stable chip control and machining consistency

Equipped with the G55 chipbreaker and a parallelogram 75° cutting edge, the geometry promotes predictable chip flow and reduces vibration sensitivity in shoulder and face milling. The 7° relief angle assists in maintaining a defined cutting edge engagement, while the insert form helps to control chip evacuation in both climb and conventional milling. The result is improved cycle stability and fewer rework operations thanks to constant cutting conditions.

Robust edge strength and repeatable tool life

A 1.6 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts and heavy engagement, helping to prevent premature edge failure. The insert’s dimensional class and tolerance M ensure repeatable seating and indexing in compatible toolholders, supporting fast tool changes and minimal setup deviation. As part of Walter Tools’ series, the design focuses on durable performance and productivity in industrial milling applications.
