Abstract: 
This work analyzes replacing an insert made of ceramic with an insert made of CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride). The inserts are cutting tools used in machining. We will start by presenting a brief account of what machining is, what is applicable in this research and the properties of the two cutting tools. We will also include our objective and justification for carrying out the project. Next, we will describe all of the equipment and tools used in the process to verify results, detailing the function of each one. We will explain our method step by step and show the properties of each insert and their use. We will compare the inserts during operations, and some results will be analyzed graphically in order to obtain a better picture of the behavior of the inserts. We will finish the paper by summarizing and calculating the results, on a cost-benefit ratio, thereby allowing us to determine the most viable replacement insert for use in industry.
