Hardened Steel Machining with Motherson CBN has the following advantages:

	promotes faster cycle times,
	cuts cost of machine tool investment,
	improves accuracy,
	imparts excellent surface finishes,
	permits higher metal removal rates (two to four times),
	allows multiple operations to be performed in a single chucking,
	makes wet or dry cutting an option (dry cutting avoids coolant expense and disposal issues).
