Cross-brand grade equivalents
Equivalents are listed only when they can be traced to a published cross-reference chart or confirmed in both manufacturers' official catalogues. Unconfirmed chart rows are marked VERIFY; nothing on InsertBase is guessed.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4335 | Sandvik Coromant | PARTIAL | K / M / P | CVD | Both CVD general steel turning grades with TiCN+Al2O3+TiN coating; IC8250 adds M. | Acera Tool — carbide grade comparison chart (14 brands) (2026-09-28) |
| 1515 | Sandvik Coromant | PARTIAL | M / P | CVD | Both CVD M/P general steel grades with TiCN+Al2O3+TiN. | Acera Tool — carbide grade comparison chart (14 brands) (2026-09-28) |
| 235 | Sandvik Coromant | PARTIAL | M / P | CVD | CVD P/M steel grades; 235 uses TiCN+TiN (no Al2O3) while IC8250 adds Al2O3 — different coating sub-family. | Acera Tool — carbide grade comparison chart (14 brands) (2026-09-28) |
Match levels: FULL = same ISO group, application band and coating family · PARTIAL = same band, different coating or edge prep · VERIFY = quoted in aftermarket charts, unconfirmed by both catalogues.
