Result and comparison basis
Coated KBCN5010 reached 1,780 and 1,820 parts over two tests; the uncoated grade reached 1,600/1,650 — on par with the leading competitor reference grade (1,800/1,805 parts).
Comparison basis: One competitor reference grade at the same level; uncoated KBN5010 as internal baseline.
Comparative data from Koves internal cutting tests and customer field applications. Competitor grades are anonymized as reference grades. Results depend on workpiece, machine and setup; validate on your own production before adopting parameters.
