What this does and does not mean
The maker marks the old MC7025 items it lists as discontinued, phased out or obsolete and names items in MC7125 as their replacement. That record is per insert: your exact MC7025 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 MC7125 in the maker's current catalogue.
- Start from the maker's recommended cutting speed for MC7125, not the numbers you ran with MC7025.
- Run both grades until the edge is worn out on the same part and compare parts per edge. One part is not a result.
