BCMT160508R-G55W WSP45G milling indexable insert by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold, 0.8 mm corner radius

The BCMT160508R-G55G WSP45G is a parallelogram 75° milling indexable insert designed for versatile face and shoulder milling in steel, stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for durability
• Suitable for steel, stainless steel and superalloys
• 0.8 mm corner radius for versatile milling
• Parallelogram 75° geometry, 7° clearance

Prolonged tool life through advanced coating and edge stability

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold series and a PVD-based coating provides a durable contact surface that reduces flank wear and extends time between index changes. The coating technology supports a stable cutting edge, which in turn keeps process windows predictable under varying cutting temperatures. For production environments where consistency matters, this grade is formulated to resist thermal and abrasive wear while maintaining edge integrity, so fewer interruptions are needed for tool changes and inspection

Predictable machining across steel, stainless steel and superalloys

Selected for its suitability to ISO groups P, M and S, the grade WSP45G is optimised for common workshop and high-performance materials: steel, stainless steel and superalloys. Because these groups behave differently—stainless steels tending to work-harden and superalloys generating high heat—the geometry and coating combination promotes controlled chip formation and reduced tendency for built-up edge. The result is improved surface finish and a more reliable cycle time in recurring production runs

Geometry engineered for efficient cutting and application flexibility

The parallelogram 75° form with a 7° clearance produces an advantageous entry angle for many milling strategies, reducing cutting forces in shoulder and face milling. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts while still allowing good edge definition for finishing passes. Combined with the G55W chipbreaker, the insert delivers a balance between robust roughing capability and acceptable surface quality, meaning fewer insert changes across mixed operations and simplified process planning

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel machining?
Yes. The BCMT160508R-G55W WSP45G insert from Walter Tools is specified for ISO group M applications and is optimised to manage the heat and work-hardening behaviour of stainless steels

Can the grade handle heat-resistant superalloys and titanium alloys?
The WSP45G grade is formulated for P / M / S categories; it provides higher temperature resistance and stable cutting-edge behaviour suitable for many superalloys listed under S

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold series offer in production?
Tiger·tec Gold coating on this insert reduces wear, enhances edge life and contributes to consistent surface quality across batch production with fewer tool changes

How does the insert geometry affect milling performance?
The parallelogram 75° shape and 7° clearance reduce cutting forces in shoulder and face milling, while the 0.8 mm corner radius provides robustness for semi-roughing and acceptable finishing capability

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its effect?
The G55W chipbreaker is specified for controlled chip formation in mixed materials, improving process security and reducing the risk of unstable chips during long cycles
