BCMT120416R-G55 WKP35S — Milling insert, Tiger‑tec Silver coating, 1.6 mm corner radius (Walter Tools)

A BCMT120416R-G55 WKP35S milling insert designed for productive machining of steel and cast iron, featuring a Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade and a parallelogram 75° geometry.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended life
• WKP35S grade for steel and cast iron
• 7° clearance for stable cutting
• 1.6 mm corner radius for robust edge

Proven coating and grade to extend tool life and reduce cost per part

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP35S carbide grade delivers higher resistance to abrasive wear and thermal loads typical when machining steel and cast iron. This results in longer tool life and fewer insert changes, which lowers the cost per machined part and increases uptime. The coating technology stabilises the cutting edge at elevated temperatures and helps maintain consistent performance across interrupted and continuous cuts, so process reliability is improved without additional setup complexity.

Geometry that improves edge strength and chip control

The parallelogram 75° insert geometry with a 1.6 mm corner radius combines strength and clearance to withstand heavy engagement and varied cutting directions. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing on the flank and promotes a clean shear zone, while the G55 chipbreaker supports predictable chip formation for many turning and milling strategies. These features jointly reduce vibration and contribute to a quieter process, better surface quality and lower rework rates in production environments.

Designed for ISO P and K materials with clear application benefits

Specified for material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron) according to ISO classifications, the insert is optimised for the typical heat generation and chip characteristics of these materials. For steel, the coated carbide helps resist built‑up edge and thermal softening; for cast iron, the grade and chipbreaker handle abrasive wear and short, breaking chips. This targeted design means fewer trial cuts are necessary and cutting parameters can be scaled with confidence when integrating the insert into existing toolholders and machining programmes.

Practical dimensions and tolerance for consistent mounting and repeatability

With the BCMT form factor and measured plate size of 12, thickness code 04 and tolerance class M, the insert fits common clamping systems and maintains repeatable seating for serial production. The robust corner and coating combination supports higher metal removal rates where indicated, while the insert form and tolerance class help ensure predictable clearance and consistent surface finish across batches — a material advantage for production planners seeking to reduce variation and machining costs.
