LCMX050203-F57 WSP45G – Drill/Boring Indexable Insert, Tiger·tec Gold by Walter Tools, 7° relief

The LCMX050203-F57 WSP45G is a rectangular indexable insert engineered for drilling and boring tasks, optimised for applications in Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys where consistent chip control and edge stability are required.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WSP45G
• Versatile for Stahl, rostfreier Stahl, alloys
• Rectangle format, size 05, thickness 02
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting
• 0.3 mm corner radius for controlled chip flow

High-performance cutting for demanding materials

The coated cemented carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Gold family provides a combination of toughness and thermal resistance that benefits operations on Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and nickel- or cobalt-based superalloys. The result is stable chip formation and reduced risk of build-up on the cutting edge, which directly supports longer tool life and fewer interruptions in machining cycles. For production environments where consistency matters, this behaviour reduces rework and improves overall throughput.

Coating and grade translate into process reliability

The WSP45G coating system is designed to withstand the heat and mechanical load typical of holemaking operations in challenging materials. Its PVD-type layering offers abrasion resistance while maintaining a resilient core, which helps to preserve the cutting edge under transient thermal and mechanical stress. This combination means improved edge stability and more predictable wear patterns, enabling reliable tool-change planning and easier assessment of return on tooling investment.

Precision geometry for consistent results

Geometry choices — rectangular format, a 0.3 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle — are selected to balance strength and chip control. The modest corner radius supports controlled engagement and good micro-geometry stability, while the relief angle reduces rubbing at entry and exit, promoting smoother penetration and exit conditions. These attributes contribute to repeatable hole quality and reduced risk of exit burrs, particularly in interrupted or variable-depth holemaking.

Practical application and process guidance

In practice, this insert performs best where a combination of mechanical strength and thermal resilience is required. The grade's versatility makes it suitable for batch production and mixed-material runs, where operators benefit from a single insert type that handles a range of components. When integrating into a machining strategy, consider moderate cutting parameters to begin with and monitor chip form; adjustments to feed can quickly optimise surface finish and tool life. For tailored recommendations and parameter settings, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical assistance to match the grade to the specific machine and material.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is designed for machining Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys (P / M / S groups) as specified for the WSP45G grade.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit holemaking?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on this grade improves thermal resistance and wear behaviour, giving the insert enhanced edge stability and consistent chip control during drilling and boring.

What is the impact of the 0.3 mm corner radius on surface finish?
A 0.3 mm corner radius provides a balance between cutting-edge strength and surface quality, supporting stable engagement and reduced risk of micro-chipping at the edge.

Which insert geometry features aid in burr reduction?
The combination of a rectangular form, the specified corner radius and a 7° relief angle reduces rubbing and supports cleaner entry and exit, which helps to minimise exit burr formation.
