Tungaloy CBN Inserts for Threading Hardened Parts
The inserts both feature a brazed CBN tip which is designed to provide a cutting edge with a balanced combination of wear and fracture resistance for withstanding continuous and heavy cutting loads.

Tungaloy has added two BX330 CBN grade inserts to its TungThread thread turning tool series’ 60-degree partial profile threading insert line, the 1QP-16ER60-014-SP and 1QP-16ER60-020-SP, which both feature a brazed CBN tip.
These inserts are designed to handle hardened parts. They provide a cutting edge with a balanced combination of wear and fracture resistance, making the grade suitable for withstanding continuous and heavy cutting loads inherent in the thread turning method for hardened parts, the company says.
These inserts feature the standard 16ER laydown insert shape and can be used with existing TungThread toolholders. This series is said to address the need for quick and cost-efficient, hard-part threading applications with a range of standard toolholder sizes available for thread turning. The series is designed to replace slow thread grinding as the preferred method across industries for producing threads of the hardened parts.
