Description

Venev Orion³ Series Resin CBN Series is the first CBN product developed by Venev Industrial Diamonds. Venev Orion³ ('Orion Cubed') is made in Edge Pro form-factor and is used for sharpening knives on Hapstone, TSProf, and all Edge Pro compatible guided sharpening systems. CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) is the second-hardest material after diamond.

Venev Orion³ consists of a 3mm-thick CBN-bearing plate mounted on an Edge Pro aluminum base. The CBN-bearing plate contains evenly distributed CBN grains with resin bonding.

All Venev stones use FEPA-F grit classification. Orion³ series is available in 7 grits. F80 to F240 utilize wear-resistant legacy binder, F400 to F2000 utilize OSB binder with no abrasive particles in the composition.

How to use

Venev CBN stones are recommended to be used with water as a lubricant for the best feedback. The stones don't absorb water. Splash water on the stone's surface and keep it wet.

About Venev Products
Metallic Binders (MMC)

M2-01 - Copper-tin bronze alloy.

MS-1 - Metal-matrix composite (MMC) - Copper-tin bronze alloy reinforced with silicon carbide.

MB-1 - Metal-matrix composite (MMC) - Copper-tin bronze alloy reinforced with boron carbide.

MS-1A - Metal-matrix composite (MMC) - Aluminum-copper alloy reinforced with silicon carbide.

Resin Binders

B1-10 - Boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF) composite - Made of powdered bakelite, copper additive

B2-01 - Boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF) composite - Made of liquid bakelite, iron additive (softer than В1-10)

В2-01М - Boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF) composite - Made of liquid bakelite, copper additive (softer than В2-01)

OSB (OCB) – A proprietary phenolic resin composite.

(OSB and OCB refer to the same binder; the difference arises from a transliteration quirk of the Cyrillic “ОСБ,” which can be rendered as either “OSB” or “OCB” in Latin script.)

Dimensions notation.
Monolayer solid abrasives have 3 numbers: length × width × thickness.
Single-sided abrasives with backing have 4 numbers: length × width × full thickness × thickness of abrasive.
Dual-sided abrasives have 5 numbers: length × width × full thickness × thickness of abrasive #1 × thickness of abrasive #2 (both sides)
If thickness is variable, the minimum thickness is noted.
For curved abrasives, a radius of curvature inmm is added: R40.
