BCMT120404R-G55 WSP45G milling insert — Tiger·tec Gold PVD, parallelogram 75° — Walter Tools

The BCMT120404R-G55 WSP45G is a PVD-coated milling insert engineered for versatile milling of steel, rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys, offering stable cutting edges and dependable chip control in mixed-production environments.

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating for edge stability
• Multi-material: Steel, stainless and superalloys
• Parallelogram 75° form for precise engagement
• Corner radius 0.4 mm for reliable surface finish

Increased throughput through stable edge performance

The Tiger·tec Gold series and the WSP45G grade deliver a combination of wear resistance and toughness that supports higher productivity and consistent component quality. The PVD coating reduces flank wear and helps to maintain a stable cutting edge in interrupted cuts and variable batch work. With a tolerance class M, the insert provides repeatable geometric accuracy, which reduces part rework and downtime, thereby improving process efficiency on milling operations for unalloyed and alloyed steels.

Broad application range with predictable chip control

Designed for machining groups P, M and S, this insert handles a wide material spectrum from conventional steel to rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium, where thermal loads are high. The integrated chipbreaker G55 supports controlled chip formation and evacuation, which lowers the risk of built-up edge and enhances surface finish. The result is fewer machining interruptions and more predictable cycle times, especially valuable in job shops and mixed-production lines.

Geometry that improves accessibility and surface quality

The parallelogram 75° plate form and the modest 7° relief angle ensure secure engagement and flexible approach angles in multi-axis milling. The corner radius 0.4 mm helps produce a consistent surface finish while offering strength at the cutting edge for roughing and semi-finishing passes. A plate size of 12 with thickness code 04 supports a balance between rigidity and chipflow, enabling reliable performance in both conventional and modern high-feed strategies.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined with this insert?
The BCMT120404R-G55 WSP45G insert is suitable for machining steels (P), rostfreier Stahl (M) and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium (S), as the WSP45G grade is designed for high thermal loads and stable chip formation.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating offers improved wear resistance and edge stability, which helps maintain consistent cutting performance and reduces the frequency of index changes.

How does the parallelogram 75° form affect milling?
The parallelogram 75° form provides favourable entry and exit angles for milling, improving accessibility in complex geometries and delivering stable engagement for repeatable surface quality.

Is the corner radius suitable for finishing?
With a corner radius of 0.4 mm, the insert balances edge strength and surface finish, making it appropriate for semi-finishing and certain finishing passes depending on process parameters.

What is the role of the chipbreaker G55?
The G55 chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip formation across a range of materials, aiding evacuation and reducing the risk of built-up edge during interrupted cuts.
