BCMT160520L-G55 · BCMT160520L-G55 WKP35G — Milling indexable insert for Stahl and Gusseisen (Walter Tools)

A BCMT160520L-G55 WKP35G milling insert engineered for productive machining of Stahl and Gusseisen with Tiger‑tec Gold coating.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised G55 chipbreaker for reliable chips
• Parallelogram 75° form with 7° relief angle
• Suitable for Stahl and Gusseisen machining

High productivity through advanced coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WKP35G grade delivers measurable improvements in tool life and edge stability under the thermal and mechanical loads typical for machining Stahl. The coated carbide substrate reduces flank and crater wear, which leads to longer service intervals and fewer insert changes in series production. For production planners this means more predictable tool change cycles and improved component throughput without compromising surface quality.

Precise chip control and geometry for steady performance

The G55 chipbreaker is designed to produce controlled, short chips when cutting both Stahl and Gusseisen, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving process reliability. The parallelogram 75° insert form combined with a 7° relief angle and a 2 mm corner radius supports robust cutting edges that withstand interrupted cuts and heavy engagement. Explaining ISO groups: the insert is referenced to ISO material groups P (for Stahl) and K (for Gusseisen), which guides selection of cutting parameters for stable chip formation and consistent surface finish.

Seamless integration into milling operations and clear handling benefits

With the ISO designation and the standard BCMT geometry, the insert fits cutter bodies accepting BCMT‑type inserts and can be used across roughing and finishing operations depending on insert seat and size. The nominal plate size and thickness simplify tooling lists and inventory management. Because the grade and coating are optimised for the listed material groups, toolroom engineers can expect reliable edge life and repeatable results in mixed-production environments, while process engineers benefit from reduced downtime and easier parameter transfer between machines.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The BCMT160520L‑G55 WKP35G is designed for machining Stahl and Gusseisen, corresponding to ISO groups P and K, utilising the Tiger‑tec Gold coating for improved wear resistance.

What benefit does the G55 chipbreaker provide?
The G55 chipbreaker ensures controlled, short chips in a wide range of cutting conditions, improving process security and reducing chip handling issues when using the insert.

What are the key geometric details to consider?
The insert features a parallelogram 75° form, a 7° relief angle and a 2 mm corner radius; these parameters affect engagement, corner strength and the achievable surface finish.

Can the insert be used for both roughing and finishing?
Depending on cutter body and cutting parameters, the grade and geometry allow the insert to be applied in heavy and moderate cuts; adjust feeds and speeds to match the desired removal rate and finish.

How does Tiger‑tec Gold influence tool life?
The Tiger‑tec Gold coating reduces abrasive and adhesive wear on the cutting edge, extending life and maintaining edge stability under the thermal loads typical for Stahl machining.
