West Ohio Tool’s CBN-tipped tools are said to boost cutting efficiency and provide extended tool life for those manufacturers machining ferrous metals, hardened steels and superalloys.
The company says adding CBN gives these customers the optimum tools for those materials. Also, CBN tools are said to last much longer than carbide tools and, compared to carbide, CBN can significantly reduce the price per hole.
The company offers CBN cutting surfaces on all custom tools engineered and designed specifically for unique applications, including the EdgeX4 cross-center tipped drill. Additionally, the company says it provides quick delivery on CBN retipping of other manufacturers’ tools.
CBN is available on any type of cutting tool that customers need. In addition to tool design, the company helps customers determine which grade of CBN to use by researching all aspects of the project — from work materials and machining parameters through application support.
