  • Advantages of Hardened Steel Cutting with SUMIBORON

HARDENED STEEL MACHINING Below is an analysis on the use of CBN as compared to grinding:

In terms of cost investments, it is much lower in machine cost and overhead cost due to the fact

(1)

that a CNC lathe is cheaper than a grinding machine. As for the quality of surface finish, inserts

can machine different profiles with excellent surface finish, in a single set-up. Environmentally,

sludge treatment for grinding is a hazard to the environment but the chips from the turning process

can be collected and recycled.
