BCMT160508R-K55 WSP45G — Parallelogram 75° milling indexable insert, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

BCMT160508R-K55 WSP45G is a milling indexable insert designed for versatile use in machining steel, stainless steel and heat‑resistant alloys

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WSP45G
• For steel, stainless and superalloys
• Parallelogram 75° insert form for stability
• 7° clearance with 0.8 mm nose radius

High productivity from a proven coated grade

The insert combines Tiger·tec Gold technology with a coated carbide substrate to deliver extended tool life and reliable performance in demanding milling operations. The WSP45G grade is formulated for balanced wear resistance and edge toughness; this supports stable chip formation and reduced regrinding intervals. The integrated K55 chipbreaker improves chip control during interrupted cuts, which helps maintain process security and reduces cycle time in series production.

Geometry that stabilises cutting and improves surface quality

A parallelogram 75° form and a 7° clearance angle create a rigid cutting geometry, while the 0.8 mm nose radius delivers repeatable edge contact and improved workpiece finish. Such geometry minimises vibration and supports consistent engagement in shoulder and ramping operations. For machining shops seeking predictable results, the combination of form and chip control yields fewer rejects and smoother downstream operations.

Clear material suitability and technical explanation

The grade is approved for ISO groups P, M and S, meaning it is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steel, stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium where thermal strain and edge stress are high. The PVD layer of the Tiger·tec Gold system provides thermal stability and a wear‑resistant surface, while the substrate maintains edge strength. Tolerance class M ensures dimensional reliability in indexable inserts for stable clamping and indexing in toolholders from common manufacturers.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this insert?
The BCMT160508R-K55 WSP45G is suitable for ISO groups P (steel), M (stainless steel) and S (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium), offering a versatile solution across these material classes.

How does the K55 chipbreaker affect machining?
The K55 chipbreaker improves chip control and evacuation, leading to steadier cutting forces and fewer built‑up edge occurrences when using the WSP45G grade.

Which toolholders are compatible with the parallelogram 75° form?
Parallelogram 75° indexable inserts are compatible with standard milling cutter bodies designed for BCMT‑style inserts; proper seating and clamp torque are essential for achieving the specified performance.

What does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating enhances thermal resistance and wear protection while the substrate maintains toughness, delivering a balance between life and edge strength.

What is the significance of tolerance class M?
Tolerance class M denotes consistent dimensional accuracy for reliable indexing and repeatable seat fit in milling cutter assemblies.
