BCMT160560R-G55 WKP35G Fräswendeschneidplatte (milling insert) – Tiger‑tec Gold, for steel & cast iron, Walter Tools

The BCMT160560R‑G55 WKP35G is a 75° parallelogram indexable milling insert engineered for high‑productivity finishing and semi‑roughing of steel and cast iron components.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised G55 chipbreaker for reliable chips
• Parallelogram 75° form for versatile milling
• Suited to steel and cast iron machining

Consistent chip control speeds up production

The combination of the G55 chipbreaker with the Tiger‑tec Gold coating ensures stable chip formation and reduced rework. Designed for typical steel and cast iron machining conditions, this indexable insert stabilises the cutting process and helps maintain constant surface quality across batches. The chipshape control reduces the risk of built‑up edge and eases chip evacuation in shoulder and slot milling, which supports shorter cycle times and improved process reliability.

Longer tool life through advanced coating and edge geometry

The coated carbide grade WKP35G, part of the Tiger‑tec Gold family, offers a balance of wear resistance and edge strength that benefits recurring production runs. The coating reduces abrasive wear when machining cast iron and fights thermal softening when tackling steels, so insert replacements become less frequent. Combined with the insert’s specified corner radius and the 7° relief angle, the design promotes robust edge security and predictable flank wear, translating into fewer tool changes and steadier manufacturing costs.

Geometry and versatility for adaptable machining strategies

A parallelogram 75° form provides flexible axial and radial engagement while maintaining reliable seating in standard BCMT pockets. The insert’s dimensions and the available 05 plate thickness suit diverse cutter bodies, letting planners choose stepover and feedrates to favour either throughput or finish. Compatibility with both P (steel) and K (cast iron) workpiece groups makes the insert a practical choice for mixed‑product shops that require a single, dependable solution for multiple materials.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The BCMT160560R‑G55 WKP35G is specified for steel (P) and cast iron (K) applications and is optimised to handle the thermal and abrasive demands typical of these groups.

How does the Tiger‑tec Gold coating improve performance?
The Tiger‑tec Gold coating reduces abrasive wear and enhances thermal resistance, which extends the service life of the WKP35G grade under continuous milling of steels and cast irons.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what benefit does it deliver?
The insert uses the G55 chipbreaker, which offers improved chip control for reliable evacuation and reduced tendency for built‑up edge during slotting and face milling.

Is this insert compatible with standard BCMT toolholders?
Yes, the BCMT form is intended for standard BCMT pockets; the parallelogram 75° geometry supports secure seating and predictable cutting engagement.
