Result and comparison basis
1.2 times the part count of the previous grade at the Rz < 6.3 μm life criterion.
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.
