Fräswendeschneidplatte BCMT160540R-G55 WSP45G – Parallelogram 75°, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The BCMT160540R-G55 WSP45G is a Walter Tools milling insert designed for versatile finishing and semi‑roughing across steel, rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant alloys in general milling applications.

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating for high wear resistance
• Suitable for steel, rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Parallelogram 75° shape for secure clamping
• 7° clearance with 4 mm corner radius

Durable cutting grade for consistent production

The WSP45G grade, part of the Tiger·tec Gold family, combines a tough substrate with a multi‑layer PVD coating to deliver stable cutting edges and extended tool life. This cutting grade is engineered for the typical heat generation and chip formation encountered when machining steels and rostfreier Stahl, reducing flank wear and the need for frequent index changes. By favouring stability over aggressive edge geometry, the insert supports predictable performance across mixed production batches, which helps to reduce downtime and improves overall process efficiency.

Geometry tuned for repeatable accuracy

The parallelogram 75° format with a small positive 7° clearance and a 4 mm corner radius provides secure seating in clamping systems and a consistent cutting line, which benefits surface finish and dimensional repeatability. The plate thickness code 05 and the tolerance class M ensure repeatable insert placement and stable tool runout in modern toolholders. These geometric choices favour modest cutting forces and help maintain a stable chip flow, translating into fewer reworks and more predictable cycle times when finishing components.

Controlled chip formation and economical machining

The integrated chipbreaker G55 is optimised for reliable chip control across a wide range of feed rates and depths of cut, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and improving evacuation in confined tool paths. The insert’s adaptability to steel, rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature alloys makes it a practical choice for workshops that handle varied materials without frequent tool changes. Together with the grade’s wear resistance, this contributes to a favourable cost‑per‑part ratio and supports continuous production demands with lower tooling intervention.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steels?
Yes. The WSP45G grade in the Tiger·tec Gold series is formulated for machining rostfreier Stahl with improved chip control and edge stability.

Which materials are covered by the P / M / S designation?
P denotes steels, M denotes rostfreier Stahl and S covers heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium; the insert is intended for use across these groups.

What is the benefit of the parallelogram 75° form?
The 75° parallelogram shape provides secure clamping and a consistent cutting line, improving repeatability and surface finish when using the BCMT160540R‑G55 WSP45G insert.

How does the G55 chipbreaker affect machining?
The G55 chipbreaker promotes stable chip formation and evacuation, which reduces the risk of built‑up edge and supports continuous machining across varied feed rates.
