    Hardness

    When you select a material name, the Hardness value displayed is low end of the defined hardness range for that material (if the material uses a range). Adjust the hardness to reflect the actual hardness of your material in the field. The feeds and speeds calculated for your part are influenced by the hardness of your material, but only if the material is defined using a hardness range.
