BCMT120416L-G55 WSP45G milling indexable insert — Tiger·tec Gold, 7° relief | Walter Tools

BCMT120416L-G55 WSP45G is a milling indexable insert designed for versatile milling on a wide range of materials, combining a robust geometry with a PVD-coated grade for consistent process results

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating for long tool life
• Suitable for P / M / S materials
• Parallelogram 75° form for robust engagement
• 1.6 mm corner radius for consistent edge strength

Longer productive runs through advanced coating performance

The Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WSP45G grade deliver a balance of toughness and wear resistance that extends tool life in mixed-production environments. As a PVD-coated cemented carbide solution, this insert is tailored to manage the thermal and mechanical loads typical when machining Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys. The result is fewer indexings, reduced tool-change downtime and improved machine availability — a clear rational benefit for cost-conscious production planning.

Stable cutting geometry for predictable surface quality

A parallelogram 75° plate form combined with a 7° relief angle and a 1.6 mm corner radius provides mechanical stability and consistent engagement in interrupted or heavy cuts. The G55 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation, lowering the risk of built-up edge and allowing for reproducible surface finishes and dimensional stability. This geometry supports both roughing and semi-finishing passes, improving throughput without sacrificing component quality.

One grade across many materials for simplified inventory

The WSP45G designation indicates a versatile grade suitable for the ISO material groups P, M and S: P = Stahl (unalloyed and alloyed steel), M = rostfreier Stahl, S = superalloys and Titan. Using a single insert grade across these groups reduces stock complexity and simplifies tool selection for mixed batches. Processes become easier to standardise, cycle times more predictable and procurement more efficient, which appeals to production engineers seeking consistent, repeatable machining outcomes.
