Fräswendeschneidplatte BCMT120425R-G55 WKP35G by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold, chipbreaker G55

The BCMT120425R-G55 WKP35G is a coated milling insert for versatile finishing and semi-finishing in metalworking, optimised for Stahl and Gusseisen machining

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Designed for machining Stahl and Gusseisen
• Parallelogram 75° geometry, 7° relief angle
• Chipbreaker G55 for controlled chip formation

Longer productive runs thanks to Tiger·tec Gold coherence

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with the WKP35G grade reduces flank and crater wear, supporting longer intervals between indexings. As a result, cycle times remain stable and production runs become more predictable. The coated carbide substrate is engineered for the thermal and abrasive demands of machining Stahl and Gusseisen, which means fewer unexpected tool changes and better overall equipment effectiveness. This section highlights the rational benefit: lower downtime and improved process economy through a robust coating technology.

Geometry designed for process reliability and surface quality

The parallelogram 75° shape and the 7° relief angle contribute to a secure seat in the cutter body and favourable cutting forces, while the 2.5 corner radius balances edge strength with acceptable surface finish. The G55 chipbreaker is tuned for controlled chip segmentation, reducing chip-related interruptions and improving swarf evacuation. For production environments this translates into fewer stoppages and a more consistent workpiece finish, supporting both operational efficiency and parts quality.

Application range and handling advantages

This insert is suitable for common catalogued turning and milling geometries where a coated indexable solution is required. The WKP35G grade is a coated carbide variety optimised for the ISO material groups P and K, making it a reliable option when machining Stahl and Gusseisen components. The tolerance class M and the execution designation indicate consistent dimensions and interchangeability in precision toolholders. Operators benefit from straightforward inventory handling and predictable performance across batches, which simplifies planning for medium- to high-volume production.
