What this does and does not mean
The maker marks the old MC6035 items it lists as discontinued, phased out or obsolete and names items in MC6135 as their replacement. That record is per insert: your exact MC6035 insert may point to a different grade or have no successor.
Before you switch:
- Check that your exact insert designation and chipbreaker are offered in MC6135 in the maker's current catalogue.
- Start from the maker's recommended cutting speed for MC6135, not the numbers you ran with MC6035.
- Run both grades until the edge is worn out on the same part and compare parts per edge. One part is not a result.
