Description
The VBGT160404-CBN20 is a non-regrindable, single-edge turning insert from Vortex, designed specifically for machining hardened steels. Built to deliver reliable, consistent results in demanding turning tasks, this CBN insert can reduce the need for additional grinding inserts and help you keep a steady production flow.
- Non-regrindable, single-edge design: Simplifies tool management with no regrinding required, ensuring consistent edge geometry and ready-to-use inserts for long production runs.
- CBN material for hardened steels: Provides high wear resistance and extended insert life when turning hardened materials, delivering stable cuts and fewer insert changes.
- Optimized for double clamp tools or boring bars: Minimizes vibration and promotes a smoother cutting action, helping to extend tool life and maintain precision in tough steels.
Designed to tackle hardened steel turning with confidence, this VBGT insert supports efficient workflows and consistent results. The non-regrindable edge reduces the need for frequent tool changes and grinding cycles, while the CBN composition delivers durable performance under demanding conditions. When paired with double-clamp turning tools or boring bars, users enjoy reduced vibration, steadier cuts, and longer tool life, helping you finish jobs faster and with reliable quality.
