Increased throughput with a wear‑resistant coated grade

The combination of the WKP35G cutting grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating focuses on extended tool life and consistent performance when machining steels (P) and cast iron (K). The coated carbide substrate is engineered to tolerate the typical heat and abrasive wear encountered in these materials, which translates into fewer tool changes and higher machine uptime. As a result, cycle times improve and process reliability becomes more predictable, supporting throughput targets in production environments where repeatability matters.

Geometry engineered for edge security and predictable chips

The Parallelogram 75° shape and the G55 chipbreaker deliver process stability through secure edge support and optimised chip control. The insert’s corner radius 2.5 mm increases edge robustness, which reduces the risk of premature breakouts under interrupted cuts or heavier engagement. A 7° relief angle helps maintain cutting forces within expected ranges while ensuring favourable tool–workpiece interaction. Together, these geometry choices benefit both component quality and overall machining economy.

Improved surface quality with consistent wear behaviour

Thanks to the coated carbide grade and the Tiger·tec Gold technology, the insert provides stable flank wear progression and predictable cutting-edge behaviour. This supports a steady surface finish over longer tool lives and reduces scatter in part quality between tool changes. The chip control characteristics of the G55 breaker also contribute to repeatable swarf evacuation, lowering the likelihood of rework and improving downstream handling.

Easy integration and versatile application in milling toolchains

The insert’s size 16 format and the low-profile 05 thickness make it suitable for a wide range of standard milling holders, while the execution marked as T and the tolerance class M ensure interchangeability and consistent seating. The grade’s specification for steel and cast iron allows flexible use across typical shop-floor workpieces without the need for multiple specialised grades. This versatility simplifies tool inventory and aids process engineers in standardising machining strategies.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel?
The WKP35G grade and the Tiger·tec Gold coating are specified for steel and cast iron; stainless steel is not listed among the primary material groups for this insert.

What are the key benefits of the G55 chipbreaker?
The G55 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and reliable swarf evacuation when machining steels and cast iron, contributing to consistent surface quality and fewer interruptions in production.

Can the BCMT160525R-G55 WKP35G be used for finishing passes?
The insert is designed for productive cutting and offers geometries that can be employed in semi-finishing; final finishing capability depends on specific machine parameters, cutting data and holder rigidity.

How does the corner radius affect performance?
A 2.5 mm corner radius increases edge strength and resistance to chipping, which supports heavier feeds and interrupted cuts while maintaining a predictable wear pattern.

What information is included in the ISO designation?
The ISO designation (BCMT160525R-G55 WKP35G) describes the insert geometry, chipbreaker and grade used; it helps ensure the correct insert is matched to the intended milling application.
