Replace Grinding with CBN Inserts and Hard Turning

You can replace grinding with CBN Inserts and Hard Turning with a little bit of research. In the vast majority of cases hard turning with PCBN can replace a grinding operation. Finish turning of hardened components can achieve similar tolerances and surface finishes. Hard turning with PCBN also offers several environmental and cost benefits over grinding. These include greater process flexibility, reduced machine time, lower energy consumption, optional use of coolant and swarf recycling possibilities.
