The Vortex CBN Turning Insert for Hardened Steel – DCGW11T304-CBN30 is a non-regrindable (single-edge) DCGW insert engineered specifically for machining hardened steels. Designed to deliver stable performance in demanding turning applications, it helps keep edge geometry consistent across jobs without the need for frequent regrinding.

Because this is a CBN insert, it can eliminate the need for additional grinding inserts, simplifying your tool inventory and reducing downtime between operations. For best results with CBN turning inserts, pair it with double clamp turning tools or boring bars to minimise vibration and extend tool life.

• Non-regrindable, single-edge design: Maintains consistent edge geometry and readiness straight out of the box, reducing downtime from regrinding and rework.
• CBN insert for hardened steels: Delivers enhanced wear resistance and stable cutting performance on high-hardness materials, helping you achieve reliable finishes without extra grinding inserts.
• Optimized for double clamp tools or boring bars: Minimises vibration and maximises tool life when used with appropriate clamping systems, improving finish quality and overall productivity.

This insert is built to support efficient, repeatable hardened-steel machining. By combining a robust CBN edge with a proven DCGW geometry and compatible clamping recommendations, it helps you streamline setups, reduce downtime, and achieve consistent results across demanding turning work.
