Hertel 2SHCNGA431610BN Turning Insert Pcbn 80 Diamond

Product Description

The HERTEL 2SHCNGA431610BN is a polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) turning insert engineered for precision machining applications. Manufactured to the 2SH-CNGA insert style, it features an 80-degree diamond insert shape and an uncoated PCBN substrate rated at material grade C2. With a 0.5-inch inscribed circle and a corner radius of 0.0156 inches (1/64 inch), this insert is dimensioned for high-precision turning operations. It carries a 3/16-inch insert thickness and is held using a clamp and pin method. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians install this insert in indexable toolholders for hard turning of ferrous and hardened materials where PCBN performance is required.

This insert is suited for finish and semi-finish turning of hardened steels, cast irons, and similar hard materials on CNC lathes and turning centers. The CNGA geometry with chip breaker code A and clearance code N makes it appropriate for applications demanding tight tolerances and consistent surface finishes. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it appropriate for shop floor tooling replenishment or production line setups.

Key Features

• Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) insert material for hard turning applications
• Uncoated substrate in manufacturer grade HT610BN, material grade C2
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (shape code C) for precision turning geometry
• 0.0156-inch corner radius for fine surface finish work
• Clamp and pin holding method for secure indexable toolholder mounting
• Chip breaker code A with tolerance code G for consistent, repeatable performance

Compatibility

Designed for use with indexable turning toolholders accepting the CNGA insert style with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle and clamp and pin holding method. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and clamping system against the 2SH-CNGA style specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torquing tool for the clamping screw and ensure the insert seats fully and cleanly in the toolholder pocket. Inspect the pocket for debris or wear before seating a new insert to avoid premature edge failure.
