Result and comparison basis
Halved the production time lost to tool changes, raising overall line productivity at 250 m/min.
Comparison basis: Previously used grade.
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.
