BCMT160508L-G55 WKP35G – Milling insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating for steel and cast iron | Walter Tools

The BCMT160508L-G55 WKP35G is a precision milling insert designed for productive machining of steel (P) and cast iron (K) in general milling operations.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WKP35G grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• G55 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Parallelogram 75° geometry for secure seating

Durable edge life through advanced coating and substrate

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WKP35G substrate promotes high wear resistance and thermal stability during heavy milling cycles. This coating technology reduces flank wear and preserves the cutting edge, which translates into longer tool life and fewer index changes. For workshops focusing on steady production, the coated carbide composition supports repeatable performance and contributes to predictable tool-change intervals, improving overall machining efficiency.

Improved process reliability with defined chip control

The dedicated G55 chipbreaker and parallelogram 75° geometry work together to produce controlled chip segmentation and efficient evacuation. A defined corner radius of 0.8 mm and a relief angle of 7° balance strength and edge sharpness, helping to reduce vibration and enhance surface finish. These geometric choices are especially beneficial in interrupted cuts and mixed-material batches where consistent chip formation reduces the risk of tool damage and workpiece rework.

Application range and integration into production

Designed for the ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the insert is suited to a broad range of general milling tasks where a balance of toughness and abrasion resistance is required. The tolerance class M and the standard insert form allow straightforward integration into common toolholders and milling bodies, supporting fast replacement and minimal setup time. The product is presented as an indexable milling insert that prioritises process security and productive machining for batch and continuous operations.
