End mill machining a metal workpiece with carbide inserts in the foreground

Performance Tests

We conduct internal tool performance tests to evaluate cutting tool life and consistency under controlled machining conditions. The results provide a practical reference for customers when selecting suitable CNC cutting tools.

Comparative Tool Performance Test

We conducted an internal comparative tool performance test to evaluate selected CNC inserts under controlled machining conditions. The test compared our products with comparable inserts from other suppliers, focusing on tool life and the number of machined pieces achieved before reaching the defined wear or performance limit.

Test Results

The test results show differences in tool life among the tested inserts. Our tested inserts achieved up to 450 machined pieces in the recorded tests, while the highest result among the compared products reached 481 pieces. Actual tool life can vary depending on machining conditions, so these results should be considered as reference data rather than a guarantee of performance.

Test data is from internal controlled-condition tests and is provided for reference only. Actual tool life may vary depending on workpiece material, cutting parameters, machine rigidity, coolant, and other machining conditions.

Have a Specific Requirement?

Tell us your machining requirements, and we’ll be happy to discuss suitable cutting tools and test conditions with you.

Want to test the inserts under your own machining conditions? We offer two free carbide insert samples; you only pay the shipping cost. Contact us with your required model and workpiece material to discuss a suitable option.
