PCBN inserts allow faster speeds and feeds compared to any other conventional cutting tool
materialup to 300% faster cycle times.
PCBN inserts reduce scrap and improve work piece quality with tight dimensional control and
excellent surface finishes.
PCBN inserts optimize machine tool efficiency by increasing production capacityreducing the need for
new equipment. For example: a CNC lathe used in hard turning is about 1/3 the cost of a grinder.
PCBN inserts allow multiple machining operations in one chucking on a lathe as opposed to several
set-ups with grinding.
PCBN cutting tools have a positive environmental impact by reducing or eliminating grinding swarf.
These oil-based coolants are costly to dispose of. Most hard turning operations do not require
coolant; therefore, the chips can be recycled.
