Greater hardness and wear resistance:<\/strong>
pCBN tools offer significantly higher hardness and wear resistance compared to carbide tools. This means longer tool life and fewer tool changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better surface quality: <\/strong>
The lower wear and higher precision of pCBN tools results in better surface quality. This is particularly important when machining drawing-relevant areas in order to achieve a smooth and even surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher cutting speeds: <\/strong>
Significantly higher cutting speeds can be achieved with CBN tools, which shortens the machining time and increases productivity. Up to 2,500 m\/min are possible here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat resistance: <\/strong>
pCBN tools are more heat-resistant than carbide tools. They can work at higher temperatures (up to 1,400 C\u00b0) without losing their hardness. This is particularly advantageous when machining grey cast iron, as we are working with significantly higher cutting values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduced tooling costs: <\/strong>
Despite the higher acquisition costs of pCBN tools, the longer tool life and higher productivity lead to a reduction in overall costs. Fewer tools are required and machine running times are optimised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best thing:<\/strong>
You can finish AND rough castings with pCBN tools!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
