The Vortex CBN Turning Insert for Hardened Steel (TCGW16T308-CBN20) is a non-regrindable, single-edge turning insert designed specifically for hardened steels. Built to withstand demanding material removal, it delivers consistent edge life and reliable performance in tough production environments.

Designed for hard materials, this CBN insert minimizes the need for grinding inserts, helping you reduce downtime and maintain stable cutting conditions. 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: Ready-to-use edge for hardened steel applications, reducing downtime and eliminating the need for regrinding.
• CBN-grade for hardened steel: Engineered to deliver wear resistance and stable performance in tough materials, extending usable life per insert.
• Vibration-aware setup: Optimized when used with double clamp turning tools or boring bars to minimize chatter and maximize tool life.

This insert is designed to streamline tough steel machining: fewer tool changes, more consistent cuts, and reliable results across demanding workloads. By leveraging its durable edge and recommended tooling setup, you can improve productivity and part quality while reducing maintenance and grinding downtime.
