Description
The Vortex VCGW160404-CBN20 is a non-regrindable, single-edge turning insert engineered for hardened steels. With a cubic boron nitride (CBN) cutting edge, it delivers reliable, efficient material removal in demanding applications for machinists, engineers, and shop floors. For best results, pair with double clamp turning tools or boring bars to reduce vibration and extend tool life.
- Non-regrindable, single-edge design: Eliminates the need for regrinding between jobs, delivering consistent performance and simplified inventory when turning hardened steels.
- CBN edge optimized for hardened steel: Delivers exceptional wear resistance and reliable cutting performance, helping extend insert life in tough materials.
- Optimized for double clamp tools or boring bars: Reduces vibration and chatter for steadier cuts, improved surface finish, and longer overall tool life.
With the VCGW160404-CBN20, you can tackle hardened steel turning with confidence. The non-regrindable edge provides predictable results, while the CBN material resists wear in difficult alloys. Paired with the right clamping and tooling, it supports smoother operations, fewer interruptions, and more consistent finishes across production runs.
