Tool geometry, milling distance and movement are schematic. Wear zones illustrate the photographic findings qualitatively; they are not measured 3D reconstructions. The 0.066 mm figure denotes documented wear, not coating thickness. The different imaging times do not establish a general tool-life improvement.
Further trial: Ø 10 mm ball-nose cutter
A separate trial under different machining conditions. Its values are not part of the animation.
