Rectangular insert with 11° clearance angle

High process security across steels and alloys

The Tiger·tec Gold PVD-coated grade WSP45G delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness that suits intermittent and continuous milling operations. As a PVD-coated carbide variant, the grade provides a hard, heat-resistant surface that reduces flank wear while preserving the underlying carbide's toughness, which in turn supports longer tool life. Designed for groups P, M and S (unalloyed/ alloyed steel, stainless steel and superalloys/titanium), this insert helps maintain cutting stability where temperature and material behaviour vary, contributing to fewer insert changes and improved machine uptime.

Reliable chip control and improved surface finish

The integrated F55 chipbreaker is tuned to produce predictable chip formation during milling, lowering the risk of built-up edge and recutting. Combined with the corner radius 0.8 mm, the cutting edge achieves a compromise between strength and surface generation: the radius supports edge robustness under higher feed conditions while still enabling acceptable finish quality. The rectangular geometry and 11° clearance angle reduce rubbing on the flank and aid consistent engagement, which benefits both component quality and cycle-time stability.

Predictable repeatability for production tooling

Manufactured to tolerance class G and supplied in T3 thickness, the insert offers repeatable geometry for indexable tool systems accepting the LPGT form factor. The nominal 15 mm size simplifies tool selection where compact, robust inserts are required. These dimensional and tolerance specifications make the insert suitable for standard cutter bodies that accept LPGT inserts, enabling straightforward replacement and minimal set-up time—an advantage in batch production and mixed-run environments where consistent tool offsets matter.

Where this insert makes the difference

Choose this insert when milling tasks demand a combination of durability and versatility: small to medium-sized components where material mix includes steel, stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys, and where predictable chip behaviour is essential for unattended cycles. The Walter Tools Tiger·tec Gold series insert provides a pragmatic balance of productivity and edge life, supporting process reliability and steady output. For operations seeking reduced downtime and stable surface quality, this indexable plate is a practical choice.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel milling?
Yes. The WSP45G grade in the LPGT15T308R-F55 WSP45G insert is formulated for M group materials and offers secure chip control and thermal resistance for stainless steel applications.

What is the purpose of the F55 chipbreaker?
The F55 chipbreaker controls chip shape and evacuation during milling, reducing the chance of long, stringy chips and improving surface quality while protecting the cutting edge.

Can this insert be used for titanium or nickel-based alloys?
The insert is specified for S group materials, meaning it is suitable for machining heat-resistant alloys and titanium where a tough, heat-resistant grade is required.

What does the T3 thickness mean for tool stability?
The T3 thickness classification indicates the insert's cross-section within standard families; combined with the rectangular form and 0.8 mm corner radius, it offers a stable cutting edge for many milling applications accepting LPGT inserts.

Does the insert fit standard LPGT toolholders?
The LPGT form factor and ISO designation LPGT15T308R-F55 align with standard toolholders designed for LPGT inserts; ensure that the cutter body accepts the specified size and clearance angle.
