BCMT160550L-G55 WSP45G milling insert (BCMT160550L-G55) — Tiger·tec Gold, 7° clearance, 75° parallelogram by Walter Tools

A BCMT160550L-G55 WSP45G milling insert optimised for versatile milling of steel, stainless steel and heat‑resistant alloys in finishing and medium‑duty operations.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for stable cutting
• Suitable for steel, rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• 75° parallelogram shape with 7° clearance
• Robust cutting edge with R5 corner radius

Greater productivity through advanced coating and chip control

The Tiger·tec Gold coating technology provides a measurable improvement in wear resistance and thermal stability, which translates into longer tool life and fewer tool changes. This insert's coated cemented carbide grade, WSP45G, is engineered for stable chip formation, reducing built‑up edge and interruptions during continuous milling. For production environments that prioritise throughput and repeatability, the coating performance supports higher metal removal rates while maintaining surface quality.

One insert for multiple materials — fewer tool changes

Designed for the ISO groups P / M / S, the insert covers unalloyed and alloyed steel, rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium, enabling broad application coverage with a single geometry. The 75° parallelogram shape improves approach flexibility on shoulder and face milling, while the 7° clearance helps manage cutting forces and edge engagement. The result is a reduction in tool inventory and quicker process set‑ups, which benefits job shops and production lines seeking economical tool management.

Geometry and edge design for consistent surface finish

The insert's geometry, including the specified corner radius (R5) and the medium tolerance class M, supports a robust cutting line that resists chipping during interrupted cuts. The plate dimensions and thickness provide rigidity in common cutter bodies, yielding a predictable cutting behaviour and reliable surface finish in finishing passes. Clear specification of geometry and tolerances simplifies toolholder selection and ensures repeatable results across batches and operators.
