What this does and does not mean
The maker marks the old WPP05S items it lists as discontinued, phased out or obsolete and names items in WPP05G as their replacement. That record is per insert: your exact WPP05S 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 WPP05G in the maker's current catalogue.
- Start from the maker's recommended cutting speed for WPP05G, not the numbers you ran with WPP05S.
- Run both grades until the edge is worn out on the same part and compare parts per edge. One part is not a result.
