Vortex VCGW160402-CBN20 turning insert is a non-regrindable, single-edge tool designed specifically for machining hardened steels. Its CBN formulation can eliminate the need for additional grinding inserts in many applications, and for best results, pair it with double clamp turning tools or boring bars to minimize vibration and extend tool life.

• Non-regrindable, single-edge design: Simplifies setup and inventory while delivering consistent edge geometry without regrinding.
• CBN insert for hardened steels: Optimized to machine hardened workpieces with efficient material removal and reliable performance.
• Best used with double clamp tools or boring bars: Minimizes vibration and helps extend tool life for longer, steadier cutting in challenging materials.

This insert is built to keep your workflow moving. By removing the need for grinding inserts in many hardened-steel applications, you reduce tool changes and downtime. When paired with the recommended clamping methods, you experience steadier cutting, lower vibration, and longer tool life, enabling consistent results on tough parts and faster throughput across demanding jobs.
