Description

Meet the Vortex CNGA120412-CBN20 turning insert—a non-regrindable, single-edge CNGA insert purpose-built for machining hardened steels. Designed for reliability in tough turning applications, it delivers consistent cutting performance when you need precision and longevity from your tooling.

Because this is a CBN insert, it can minimize the need for separate grinding inserts, helping you simplify setup and reduce downtime. For the best results, use double clamp turning tools or boring bars to minimize vibration and maximize tool life, ensuring steadier cuts and longer intervals between changes.

  • Non-regrindable single-edge design: Specifically engineered for hardened steel, delivering consistent edge geometry and reliable performance without the need for regrinding.
  • CBN insert for hardened steel: High wear resistance that extends tool life and reduces sharpening downtime, keeping your production running smoothly.
  • Optimized for double-clamp tools or boring bars: Minimizes vibration and promotes longer tool life, yielding steadier cuts and improved process stability.

This insert is built to support serious machining workloads—delivering predictable results, reducing maintenance overhead, and helping you maintain steady throughput on hardened-steel projects. Its rugged design and targeted application make it a dependable choice for shops aiming to improve efficiency and consistency in turning operations.
