What this does and does not mean
The maker marks the old MT9005 items it lists as discontinued, phased out or obsolete and names items in MP9005 as their replacement. That record is per insert: your exact MT9005 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 MP9005 in the maker's current catalogue.
- Start from the maker's recommended cutting speed for MP9005, not the numbers you ran with MT9005.
- Run both grades until the edge is worn out on the same part and compare parts per edge. One part is not a result.
