New radial edge preparation now availablefor CBN tools

Conicity Technologies is offering a radial edge preparation advantage for cubic boron nitride (CBN) tools. Conicity's unique Engineered Micro-Geometry (EMG) process provides an alternative for removing defects on CBN tool edges. The T-Land has traditionally been the method used for removing defects found on tool edges after grinding, but, while applying a T-Land may eliminate the defects, it also creates a negative cutting condition, increasing cutting pressure and decreasing tool performance. Alternately, Conicity's EMG radial edge preparation produces lower cutting forces and less corresponding wear, leading to a longer tool life. Conicity also offers CBN inserts and CBN mini tip inserts with EMG preparation. PCD-tipped inserts, full-top CBN and PCD tools, and special CBN tool geometries are available on request. The size of the edge preparation applied to these tools can be customized depending on the demands of the application.
