BCMT090320R-G55 indexable milling insert BCMT090320R-G55 WKP35G — for steel and cast iron machining by Walter Tools

BCMT090320R-G55 WKP35G is an indexable milling insert optimised for productive machining of steels and cast irons, combining the Tiger·tec Gold coating technology with a robust chipbreaker geometry and a 75° parallelogram form.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for improved wear resistance
• Optimised for steel and cast iron machining
• Parallelogram 75° form with 7° clearance
• 2.0 mm corner radius for reliable edge strength

Consistent productivity through advanced coating technology

The Tiger·tec Gold coating embodied in the WKP35G grade provides a hard, wear-resistant surface that reduces abrasive wear and improves thermal stability during cutting. This results in longer tool life and fewer indexings, which in turn lowers process costs and increases uptime. The coated carbide substrate offers predictable performance across a range of cutting conditions, making the insert particularly suitable where repetitive production and stable chip formation are essential. For industrial shops focused on throughput, the coated grade supports more consistent cycle times and fewer unplanned tool changes.

Geometry designed for secure cutting and surface quality

A 75° parallelogram plate form with 7° relief combines a versatile cutting angle with secure seating in standard milling holders, enabling reliable engagement in a variety of milling operations. The 2.0 mm corner radius enhances edge strength and resistance to chipping, which is beneficial when encountering interrupted cuts or variable feed conditions. The plate thickness and insert size contribute to stiffness and clamping stability, so the machining setup benefits from reduced vibration and improved surface finish. These geometric choices translate into predictable behaviour at the toolholder interface and better reproducibility in serial machining.

Effective chip control and material compatibility for broad workshop use

The G55 chipbreaker is tuned for the machining behaviour of steel (P) and cast iron (K) as defined by ISO 513, promoting short, controlled chips and reducing the risk of built-up edge. This targeted chip control enhances surface integrity and minimises operator intervention for chip evacuation, particularly in rigid setups and automated operations. The insert’s grade and geometry combination ensures suitability for a wide spectrum of unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as typical cast iron grades, delivering a balance between process security and economical tool life. For tailored advice on feeds and speeds for specific alloys, technical consultation is recommended.
