BCMT160530R-G55 WKP35G milling indexable insert, Tiger·tec Gold — for steel and cast iron, 3 mm radius, 7° clearance — Walter Tools

The BCMT160530R-G55 WKP35G is a parallelogram 75° milling insert engineered for productive face and profile milling of steel and cast iron, combining a coated carbide grade with a geometry optimised for stable chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• WKP35G grade for steel and cast iron
• Parallelogram 75° geometry for versatile milling
• 3 mm corner radius with 7° clearance

Higher productivity through optimised coating and grade

The Tiger·tec Gold technology in this insert delivers improved wear resistance and consistent performance under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of machining steel and cast iron. The WKP35G grade is a coated carbide formulation designed to maintain a stable cutting edge and reduced flank wear; this translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings, which increases machine uptime and lowers unit machining cost. The coating also contributes to predictable performance across interrupted cuts and varying feed rates.

Geometry and cutting reliability for demanding milling tasks

The 75° parallelogram geometry together with a 3 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle provides a balance between robust cutting edge strength and accessible cutting engagement. This shape supports versatile strategies such as shoulder milling and light roughing with reduced risk of chipping. The integrated G55 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation in a range of feed conditions, improving surface finish consistency and facilitating efficient chip evacuation during continuous production runs.

Application range and practical advantages in production

Assigned to ISO groups P and K, this insert is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steel as well as for cast iron, making it a flexible choice for mixed production environments. The coated carbide substrate and the specified tolerance class M ensure repeatable performance and easy replacement in industry-standard toolholders. For planners and process engineers, the combination of grade, coating and geometry enables economical tool programmes where tool change frequency and process stability are priorities.
