Increased speed (vc) capability
CB7015 is a polycrystalline CBN grade of fine grain size with a unique ceramic binder.
The key to improved performance at high cutting speeds, when machining continuous to light interrupted cuts, lies in the ability of wear to develop slowly in a controlled way, and at high temperatures.
|  | Increased feed (fn) with Sandvik Coromant wiper technology
Machine at high feed and still obtain the process reliability with our patented radius configuration that is less sensitive to misalignment than conventional wipers. |
Increased cutting depth (ap) with large, solid CBN corners
Large cutting depths possible when machining up to shoulders, undercuts and in other profiling operations. |
| Dual edge identification system
To simplify detection of used edges, the inserts have a thin, golden TiN coating and each cutting edge is permanently marked with an identifying number.
|
Safe-Lok multi-corner technology
Mechanically interlocked CBN corners brazed far from the hot cutting zone provide strength and security, superior to conventional tip design.
