BCMT160550R-G55 WKP35S milling insert BCMT160550R-G55 – Tiger‑tec Silver, for steel and cast iron (Walter Tools)

A BCMT160550R-G55 WKP35S indexable milling insert designed for productive finishing and reliable chip control in steel and cast iron applications

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide WKP35S
• Optimised chipbreaker G55 for stable chips
• Parallelogram 75° shape for secure engagement
• 7° relief angle with 5 mm corner radius

Consistent chip control for uninterrupted production

The Tiger‑tec Silver coating combined with the WKP35S carbide grade delivers predictable wear behaviour and controlled heat dissipation, which translates into steadier machining and fewer interruptions. The integrated G55 chipbreaker is engineered to form shorter, manageable chips when working with steel and cast iron, reducing the risk of chip-related downtime and improving machine availability. For production environments where stability and repeatable cutting performance matter, this insert supports continuous operation and consistent surface quality.

Geometry that enhances tool engagement and process security

A parallelogram 75° form and a 7° relief angle provide secure engagement in the cutter body and reduce the tendency to dig in during entry. The 5 mm corner radius balances robustness and edge strength, supporting light finishing passes while resisting chipping under intermittent cuts. The tolerance class M ensures uniform dimensions for predictable assembly and repeatable runout behaviour, which aids process planning and reduces setup time in series production.

Durable grade and coating for extended tool life

The coated carbide composition of the WKP35S grade is optimised for the thermal and abrasive conditions encountered when machining unalloyed and alloyed steel as well as cast iron. The Tiger‑tec Silver technology provides a protective barrier against abrasive wear and thermal degradation, extending the service interval of the insert and lowering the total cost per part. Where part counts and machine hours are critical metrics, the improved edge life contributes directly to lower tooling consumption and more efficient throughput.
