Looking for another maker's grade for a Kennametal grade?
A catalogue shows one maker's range. It will not tell you which grade from another maker sits at the same ISO position. Paste your Kennametal grade codes into the free coverage check: it lists the grades from other makers that manufacturer charts place at the same position, with the sources. Same position is not the same performance; test on a sample part before switching.
