Coated Solid CBN for Cast Iron and Hardened Steel Machining BNC8115 / BNS8125

Cast Iron Hardened Steel

¢ Features Covers a wide range of machining applications from roughing to finishing of cast iron, hard-to-cut cast iron and hardened steel. 100% solid CBN structure enables depth-of-cut of .20" and above.

¢ Lineup D BNC8115

L

PVD coating with excellent wear resistance suppresses flank wear when machining difficult-to-cut cast iron and hardened steel. Ideal for roughing and depth-of-cut of .020" - .118". Can also be used for roughing and finishing of gray cast iron. Gold coating improves visibility of used corners. D BNS8125 Optimizing the particle size distribution of the CBN particles has resulted in improved fracture resistance and longer life while maintaining wear resistance during gray cast iron machining.
