BCMT160516R-G55 WSP45G — Indexable milling insert, Tiger‑tec Gold PVD, Parallelogram 75° (Walter Tools)

The BCMT160516R-G55 WSP45G is an indexable milling insert engineered for versatile finishing and medium-parameter roughing across steels, stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys.

• Tiger‑tec Gold PVD coating for edge stability
• Suitable for P / M / S material groups
• Parallelogram 75° geometry for versatile milling
• 1.6 mm corner radius with 7° clearance

Predictable chip control and longer tool life with modern coating

This indexable insert is built around the Tiger‑tec Gold technology and the WSP45G grade, a PVD-coated carbide formulation optimised for toughness and wear resistance. The integrated chipbreaker G55 controls swarf formation, reducing risk of built-up edge and enabling consistent surface finish. As a result, machining cycles show improved stability and lower scrap rates, which translates to measurable productivity gains and cost effectiveness in batch and flexible production environments.

Consistent performance across steel, stainless steels and superalloys

The cutting grade is specified for the material groups P, M and S, covering unalloyed and alloyed steel, rostfree stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys including titanium. The combination of a tough substrate and PVD surface treatment supports safe chip formation under the high temperatures typical for these families. Explained simply: the insert’s chemistry and coating slow crater wear and protect the cutting edge, so repeatable dimensional accuracy and surface integrity are easier to achieve on demanding workpieces.

Geometry that enhances versatility and repeatability

The Parallelogram 75° form together with a 1.6 mm radius and 7° clearance offers a balanced compromise between edge strength and accessibility for narrow features. The standard size (16) and the declared tolerance class M ensure reliable seating and repeatable results when rotating and indexing inserts. These geometric choices help reduce vibration, support finer surface qualities in finishing passes and permit stable engagement in a wide range of milling applications.

Ease of use, process security and application support

Indexing the insert reduces downtime and preserves toolholder investment: multiple cutting edges are available before regrinding or replacement is required. The Tiger‑tec Gold series aims to provide predictable tool life and broad machinability.
