WALTER BCMT160530R-G55 WKP35S Milling Insert (10 pcs)

The WALTER BCMT160530R-G55 WKP35S is a high-performance rhombic (parallelogram) positive-rake \ milling insert. Manufactured in Walter’s Tiger·tec® Silver grade, this insert delivers a reliable balance of toughness, \ wear resistance, and thermal stability — making it ideal for machining steel and stainless steel under moderate cutting conditions.

Material Grade & Coating – WKP35S

• The WKP35S grade is part of Walter’s Tiger·tec® Silver family, featuring a CVD TiCN + Al₂O₃ + TiCN multilayer coating.
• The Al₂O₃ layer protects under high thermal load, while the TiCN layers provide hardness and abrasion resistance.
• A silver wear-indicator layer enables easy visual monitoring of flank wear. 
• Compatible with ISO material groups: P (steel), M (stainless), and S (heat-resistant alloys).
