Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) cutting tools are widely used in the ultra-precision machining of stainless steel mould inserts for the injection moulding of optical lenses. During the machining of a spherical or an aspherical profile on a mould insert, the cutting speed reduces significa...
