Vortex CBN Turning Insert for Hardened Steel - VCGW160404-CBN30

The Vortex VCGW160404-CBN30 turning insert is a non-regrindable, single-edge CBN insert engineered for turning hardened steels. It delivers consistent edge life and reliable performance in demanding turning operations.

Designed for shop-floor versatility, it reduces set-up and rework by eliminating the need for grinding inserts. For best results with CBN turning inserts, pair it with double clamp turning tools or boring bars to minimize vibration and extend tool life.

• Non-regrindable, single-edge design: Simplifies inventory and guarantees consistent edge geometry for hardened steel turning, so you can keep production moving without grinding steps.
• CBN edge for hardened steels: Provides enhanced wear resistance and stable cutting performance on tough materials, helping maintain part tolerances and reduce tool changes.
• Optimized for vibration control with proper tooling: When used with double clamp turning tools or boring bars, reduces vibration, produces smoother finishes, and extends insert life.

This insert helps streamline your hardened-steel turning workflow: fewer tool changes, more consistent dimensional accuracy, and better surface finishes. By removing grinding steps and leveraging robust clamping setups, you can reduce downtime, improve productivity, and rely on repeatable results across jobs.
