New CBN-Tipped Tools for Superalloys



Custom PCD and carbide cutting toolmaker West Ohio Tool has recently expanded its product and service offerings. For those manufacturers machining ferrous metals, hardened steels and superalloys, the company now offers CBN-tipped tools designed to boost cutting efficiency and provide extended tool life.

"Some of our customers have moved into working with steel, and PCD is not really a good option for them," said West Ohio Tool Production Manager Chad Mahurin. "Adding CBN allows us to provide them optimum tools for those materials. Also, our CBN tools last much longer than carbide tools, and as compared to carbide, CBN can significantly reduce price per hole."

The company offers CBN cutting surfaces on all custom tools engineered and designed specifically for unique customer applications, including the EdgeX4 cross-center tipped drill. "Additionally, West Ohio Tool provides quick delivery on CBN re-tipping of other manufacturers' tools," Mahurin said. "We can get CBN on any type of cutting tool our customers need."

In addition to tool design, the company uses its years of experience to help customers determine which grade of CBN to use by researching all aspects of the project from work materials and machining parameters through application support. "That experience paired with West Ohio Tool's in-house engineering and design team provides up to 75% faster turnaround and delivery times than the industry standard," said Mahurin.
