LNHU160716R-L55T WSP45G — Rectangular milling indexable insert, Tiger‑tec Gold, Walter Tools

A LNHU160716R-L55T WSP45G rectangular milling insert designed for versatile roughing and finishing in steel, stainless steel and heat‑resistant alloys

• Tiger‑tec Gold PVD coating
• Suitable for steel, stainless steel, superalloys
• 0° negative rake for stable cutting
• 1.6 mm corner radius for edge strength

Higher productivity through a versatile coated grade

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WSP45G grade provide a balance of wear resistance and toughness that supports productive milling across many materials. As a PVD‑coated, coated cemented carbide grade, it is engineered for the heat and chip‑formation characteristics typical of steels (P), for the toughness of stainless steels (M) and for the demands of heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium (S). This combination reduces flank wear and allows for predictable tool life, which in turn minimises unplanned stoppages and supports a smoother production flow.

Geometry that secures edge stability and chip control

The insert’s 0° negative rake and corner radius 1.6 mm enhance mechanical strength at the cutting edge, making the geometry suited to interrupted cuts and heavier radial engagement. The chipbreaker L55T is tuned to reliably control chips and improve surface finish during both roughing and finishing passes, while the rectangular format provides clear reference edges for toolholder clamping. Together these features mean fewer insert changes and more consistent component quality in serial production.

Practical use and process guidance for consistent results

When paired with appropriate feeds and cutting speeds for each material group, the robust design of this rectangular plate helps to keep machining stable over long runs. For steels and stainless steels the grade encourages secure chip formation; for superalloys, the wear resistance of the coating helps to withstand high thermal loads. The insert’s stable performance supports cost‑effective machining by extending regrinding intervals and reducing scrap rates.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The LNHU160716R-L55T WSP45G insert from Walter Tools is suitable for machining Steel (P), stainless steel (M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/Titanium (S) thanks to its Tiger‑tec Gold coated grade.

What benefits does the L55T chipbreaker provide?
The chipbreaker L55T ensures controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of built‑up edge during operations with the LNHU160716R-L55T WSP45G insert.

How does the 0° negative rake affect machining performance?
A 0° negative rake increases edge robustness and stability, which helps the insert resist shock and perform reliably in interrupted or heavy cutting conditions.

Is this insert compatible with standard rectangular toolholders?
The rectangular form and coded designation of the LNHU160716R-L55T make it compatible with matching rectangular milling holders designed for this insert geometry; holders must match the insert size and clamping style.
