NTK Cutting Tools

B40

For heavy interrupted machining | CBN for machining hardened material

High performance, low cost CBN

Recommended for heavy interrupted cuts

Excellent toughness and stable machining Ideal for hardened materials of HRC 55 or higher
Features
  • Exceptional toughness due to a special TiN binder blended with the CBN
  • Chipping resistance achieves stable machining through heavy interruptions
Tooling application

Heavy interrupted machining of hardened materials of HRC55 or above

Edge preparations
Performance comparison by edge preparation

As the edge preparation increases the tool pressure on the insert increases.
