grade	string	1.2		0..1	material composition for this cutting item.
indices	string	1.2		1..*	number or numbers representing the individual cutting item or items on the tool. Indices SHOULD start numbering with the inserts or CuttingItem furthest from the gauge line and increasing in value as the items get closer to the gauge line. Items at the same distance MAY be arbitrarily numbered. Note: In XML, the representation MUST be a single number (“1”) or a comma separated set of individual elements (“1,2,3,4”), or as a inclusive range of values as in (“1-10”) or any combination of ranges and numbers as in “1-4,6-10,22”.

Locus	string	1.2		0..1	free form description of the location on the cutting tool. For clarity, the words FLUTE, INSERT, and CARTRIDGE SHOULD be used to assist in noting the location of a CuttingItem. CuttingItem::Locus MAY be any free form string, but SHOULD adhere to the following rules: The location numbering SHOULD start at the furthest CuttingItem and work it’s way back to the CuttingItem closest to the gauge line. Flutes SHOULD be identified as such using the word FLUTE:. For example: FLUTE: 1, INSERT: 2 - would indicate the first flute and the second furthest insert from the end of the tool on that flute. Other designations such as CARTRIDGE MAY be included, but should be identified using upper case and followed by a colon (:).
