Finish hard turning refers to the process of machining hardened steel with a single-point insert within a hardness range of 55 to 70 HRC. With finish hard turning, workpiece dimensional tolerances of 2 microns or less is possible eliminating the need for any additional operations.
In order to achieve the full potential of finish hard turning, a specially developed high precision turning lathe such as the Hembrug Mikroturn series is required. Finish hard turning with the right machine and with a single setup process can meet the ongoing desire for productivity increases and cost reductions.
