BCMT160560R-G55 WSP45G milling insert (Tiger‑tec Gold) by Walter Tools — Parallelogram 75° for stable milling, PVD‑coated grade

BCMT160560R-G55 WSP45G is a PVD‑coated milling insert designed for versatile milling tasks in steels, stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD‑coated grade WSP45G
• For steel, stainless steel and superalloys
• Parallelogram 75° form for stable clamping
• 7° clearance and 6 corner radius for edge strength

Increased productivity through coating and grade technology

The Tiger‑tec Gold PVD system combined with the WSP45G grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness that supports higher cutting speeds and longer tool life. For milling operations where surface finish and tool life are critical, the PVD‑coated carbide helps to resist abrasive wear while maintaining a reliable cutting edge under cyclic thermal loads. This results in fewer tool changes, reduced downtime and a more predictable production rhythm — a clear advantage for batch runs or continuous machining sequences.

Reliable chip control and broad material compatibility

Designed to machine materials classified as P, M and S according to ISO groups, the insert is suited to unalloyed and alloyed steel, stainless steel and high‑temperature superalloys or titanium. The specified G55 chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation across these groups; this reduces the risk of built‑up edge on stainless grades and improves evacuation when cutting difficult alloys. Explaining the terminology: P refers to general steel machining, M to stainless steels that tend to work‑harden, and S to heat‑resistant alloys where thermal stability is essential.

Geometry and handling that support process security

The parallelogram 75° shape and 7° clearance angle provide stable seating and repeatable clamping in compatible toolholders, while the 6 corner radius enhances edge robustness for interrupted cuts. The insert thickness and tolerance class M ensure consistent positioning in indexable tool systems, minimising vibration and supporting a finer surface finish. These geometric attributes contribute directly to process security — predictable tool life and consistent part quality — which are key for production environments prioritising repeatability.
