The Vortex CBN Turning Insert for Hardened Steel (CCGW060202-CBN20) is a non-regrindable, single-edge turning insert designed specifically for machining hardened steels. It’s ideal for machine shops, job shops, engineers, and maintenance teams seeking consistent performance in demanding turning applications.

Powered by cubic boron nitride (CBN), this insert minimizes or even eliminates the need for grinding inserts, helping you reduce downtime and simplify tooling. For best results, use double clamp turning tools or boring bars to minimize vibration and extend tool life.

• Non-regrindable, single-edge design: Simplifies tooling, reduces downtime, and lowers inventory needs by delivering reliable cutting without the requirement to regrind or refresh edges.
• CBN insert optimized for hardened steel: Delivers improved wear resistance and cleaner cuts on high-hardness alloys, helping maintain cutting performance and extend insert life.
• Stable performance with double clamp tools or boring bars: Minimizes vibration and chatter, improves surface finish consistency, and enhances edge life in demanding turning operations.

Using this insert supports a smoother workflow: fewer tool changes, steadier cutting conditions, and reliable results when working with hardened steels. It helps you achieve predictable finishes and maintain productivity by reducing grinding needs and maximizing tool life.
