BCMT160530L-G55 WSP45G Parallelogram 75° milling insert by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold, 7° clearance

The BCMT160530L-G55 WSP45G is a parallelogram milling insert designed for versatile milling tasks, combining a Tiger·tec Gold PVD grade with a G55 chipbreaker for stable chip control.

Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating Suitable for P / M / S material groups Parallelogram 75° insert geometry 7° clearance with 3 mm corner radius

Consistent cutting performance for mixed materials

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold PVD technology and the WSP45G grade delivers a reliable balance between wear resistance and toughness, making the insert especially effective for mixed production. As a milling insert, it is engineered to handle the thermal and mechanical demands typical of machining steel and related alloys, helping to reduce unplanned tool changes and supporting a smoother production flow. The robust coating improves resistance to abrasive wear while maintaining edge integrity under variable cutting conditions.

Stable edge life and improved surface finish

The G55 chipbreaker and a 3 mm corner radius promote consistent chip formation and protect the cutting edge during interrupted cuts. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing and heat build-up at the flank, which contributes to longer service intervals and more predictable component finish. For applications that prioritise repeatability and dimensional stability, this indexable plate supports reliable surface quality and reduced rework rates.

Wide applicability with clear handling advantages

Designed for the ISO groups P / M / S, the insert covers unalloyed and alloyed steel, stainless steel, and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium, making it a universal choice for mixed-machine shops. The parallelogram 75° shape offers a favourable lead angle for stable axial engagement and better face clearance in shoulder milling, while the standardised geometry ensures compatibility with common toolholders. Technical selection becomes straightforward: choose the grade and chipbreaker to match the workpiece family for efficient machining.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this insert?
The BCMT160530L-G55 WSP45G is specified for the ISO groups P / M / S, meaning it is suitable for steel, stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit production?
Tiger·tec Gold PVD enhances wear resistance while preserving toughness under intermittent cutting, so the insert from Walter Tools maintains cutting edge stability and extends service life in mixed machining.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its purpose?
The insert features the G55 chipbreaker, engineered to promote predictable chip formation and reduce the risk of built-up edge during heavy or interrupted milling cycles.

Is the insert compatible with standard toolholders?
Yes, the parallelogram 75° geometry and ISO designation BCMT160530L-G55 ensure compatibility with common milling toolholders designed for this insert shape.

What does the tolerance class M imply for production?
Tolerance class M denotes a standard precision level suitable for general machining tasks where reproducible indexing and consistent seat fit are required.
