LCMX06T204-B57 WSP45G — Drilling/Boring Indexable Insert by Walter Tools (Tiger‑tec Gold, chipbreaker B57)

The LCMX06T204-B57 WSP45G is a rectangular drilling and boring indexable insert designed for demanding turning and reaming operations in steels, stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys.

• Tiger‑tec Gold PVD coating for robust edges
• Grade WSP45G for versatile steel and superalloys
• Rectangular 06 insert with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° relief angle for stable cutting performance

Longer tool life through optimised coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold surface treatment and the WSP45G grade delivers a PVD‑coated carbide that emphasises stable cutting edges and predictable wear behaviour. This coating technology reduces flank wear and supports consistent performance during interrupted and continuous cuts, which results in longer tool life and fewer index changes. For mixed‑material batches — including steel, stainless steel and superalloys — this formulation balances thermal resistance and edge toughness to maintain process reliability and minimise unplanned downtime.

Geometry that improves surface quality and repeatability

Careful geometrical design, including a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle, provides controlled chip formation and reduced vibration during bore enlargement. The chipbreaker B57 is configured to produce short, manageable chips under typical drilling and boring conditions, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of recutting. The rectangular format and size 06 form factor ensure stable clamping in compatible toolholders, contributing to repeatable part accuracy and improved surface finish on the bore wall.

Practical efficiency and integration in production

Specified for general and specialised machining tasks, the insert supports high‑mix production by offering consistent results across a range of workpiece materials. The P/M/S material compatibility simplifies tooling decisions for shops that process both conventional steels and demanding high‑temperature alloys. Using this grade and geometry can lower tooling change frequency and support higher spindle utilisation, delivering measurable productivity improvements and a favourable cost‑per‑part ratio over time.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?
The LCMX06T204-B57 WSP45G insert is specified for steel, stainless steel and superalloys/titanium, reflecting the P/M/S compatibility of the WSP45G grade and its PVD coating.

Is the chipbreaker suitable for interrupted cuts during bore enlargement?
Yes, the chipbreaker B57 on this insert is designed to manage chip formation and evacuation, making it suitable for many interrupted cutting scenarios encountered in drilling and boring.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect finish and strength?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and surface finish: it increases resistance to chipping while maintaining the ability to produce a consistent bore wall finish.

Can this insert be used in high‑temperature alloys such as Inconel?
The WSP45G grade is formulated to handle heat‑resistant superalloys; for sustained high‑temperature work, the insert’s Tiger‑tec Gold PVD coating helps preserve edge integrity under thermal load.

Which series and brand manufacture this insert?
This item belongs to the Tiger‑tec Gold series and is supplied by Walter Tools as the LCMX06T204-B57 WSP45G indexable insert.
