Hard Turning with CBN

CNMA 432 Quad Edge CBN Insert Shown

Hard turning with CBN will:

• Reduce Grinding Investment
• Increase Tool Life
• Reduce Cost with Faster Cycle Times
• Lower Tool Change Down Time Costs
• Reduce Scrap Cost
• Reduce By-Product Disposal
• Extend Tool Life In High Production Hard Turn Applications
• Increase Thermal and Mechanical Shock Resistance to Handle the Most Demanding Contouring and Interrupted Cuts

Hard turning requires switching from carbide to CBN inserts. It’s easier and more economical than one would expect. The major adjustment is working with much higher surface speeds.
