LDMT170408R-D51 WSP45G — Milling Insert, 15° Clearance, Walter Tools

The LDMT170408R-D51 WSP45G is a rectangular milling indexable insert engineered for versatile machining across steel, stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys.

• Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating
• For steel, stainless and superalloys
• 15° clearance angle
• Rectangular form, 0.8 mm corner radius

Longer tool life through advanced coating technology

The insert is part of the Tiger·tec Gold series and uses a PVD-coated carbide grade designed to extend cutting life under typical milling stresses. The layered coating reduces wear and supports a stable cutting edge, which means fewer interruptions for tool changes and more consistent component quality. For production environments this translates into measurable improvements in uptime and a lower cost per part when compared with uncoated grades.

Reliable chip control for challenging materials

Equipped with a D51 chipbreaker, this insert promotes controlled chip formation during milling of P-, M- and S-group materials. That is, the grade is suited to steel, stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys and titanium where chip evacuation and thermal loads can be problematic. Improved chip control reduces built-up edge and helps maintain surface finish, so process stability and repeatability increase even in tougher applications.

Geometry that supports precision and repeatability

The rectangular plate form combined with a 15° clearance angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius delivers predictable engagement and consistent cutting forces in interrupted and continuous cuts. The size and thickness codes ensure compatibility with common toolholders while the tolerance class M indicates a standardised fit for repeatable seating. Together, these geometric features reduce vibration and contribute to stable dimensional results part after part.

Designed to boost productivity and process security

As a member of a well-established tool series, this insert emphasises productivity and process security through balanced toughness and wear resistance. The grade’s versatility across a wide range of materials reduces the need for multiple specialised inserts, streamlining tooling inventories. For operations seeking dependable performance under mixed workloads, the combination of coating, chip control and geometry supports higher throughput with consistent quality.
