BCMT160532R-G55 WKP35S — Milling insert, G55 chipbreaker, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The BCMT160532R-G55 WKP35S is a parallelogram 75° milling insert engineered for high-productivity machining of steel and cast iron, offering consistent chip control and long tool life.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating technology
• Optimised chip control with G55 breaker
• Parallelogram 75° form for secure clamping
• Suitable for steel and cast iron machining

High productivity through modern coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP35S grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness for productive milling operations. The coating reduces flank wear under the thermal loads typical for machining steel, while the base carbide grade maintains a stable cutting edge when encountering interrupted cuts. This results in fewer insert changes and a more predictable machining cycle, supporting higher throughput in series production.

Precise chip control for improved surface quality

The G55 chipbreaker has been developed to manage the typical chips produced from P (steel) and K (cast iron) materials according to ISO 513. Controlled chip formation reduces re-cutting and improves surface finish, particularly on interrupted or semi-finish passes. The insert geometry with a 3.2 mm corner radius and 7° relief angle contributes to consistent cutting forces and a reliable contact zone between tool and workpiece.

Secure clamping and application flexibility

The parallelogram 75° plate form provides robust seating and stable cutting conditions in many standard milling holders. With a nominal size of 16, this insert is suitable for a broad range of milling cutters and applications where repeatability and secure clamping are essential. The tolerance class M ensures predictable fit and easy indexability in multi-insert tools, enabling fast tool changes and minimal setup variation.

Economic tool life and process reliability

The WKP35S grade is tailored to achieve a favourable compromise between wear resistance and edge integrity, helping to reduce total machining costs through longer life and fewer production interruptions. For operations focused on throughput and surface consistency, the combination of Tiger·tec Silver, the G55 chipbreaker and the insert’s geometry supports reproducible results and lower overall tooling consumption.
