LNHU160812-F57T WSP45G rectangular milling insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating – Walter Tools

The LNHU160812-F57T WSP45G is a compact rectangular milling insert engineered for versatile, high-productivity face and shoulder milling across steels, stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for improved wear resistance
• Grade WSP45G for versatile steel and superalloy machining
• Rectangular insert with 1.2 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake and F57T chipbreaker for stable cuts

Durable coating and material range for steady production

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold PVD coating and the WSP45G carbide grade delivers improved wear resistance and consistent edge life under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of milling. This grade is specially tuned for the ISO workpiece groups P, M and S, which means reliable performance on unalloyed and alloyed steel, stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium. The rectangular form factor and robust substrate make the insert well suited to medium- and heavy-duty milling operations where predictable tool life reduces downtime and simplifies production planning.

Stable cutting behaviour and controlled chip formation

Negative geometry with a 0° rake improves the insert’s ability to withstand interrupted cuts and variable engagement, while the F57T chipbreaker promotes reliable chip control and surface finish. The chipbreaker is designed to fragment swarf and channel it away from the cutting edge, reducing the risk of built-up edge and helping to maintain dimensional consistency. For workshops moving from conventional inserts, this arrangement balances toughness and edge stability, enabling higher feed rates with lower risk of edge failure and fewer tool changes in repetitive milling tasks.

Precision fit and simplified tooling choices

Manufactured to tolerance class H, the insert features a 1.2 mm corner radius that supports robust edge strength and improved component corner quality. Its compact 16 size and thickness code 08 make it compatible with standard clamping systems for rectangular inserts, simplifying inventory and toolholder selection. The combination of grade, geometry and coating supports predictable reconditioning intervals and efficient tool use in job shops and production lines seeking cost-effective milling solutions. This indexable design contributes to steady cycle-times and consistent surface quality over extended runs.
