Hardened Steel
BNC2010 : For high-precision finishing requiring good surface roughness and dimensional tolerance. Maintains excellent surface roughness thanks to coating with high boundary wear resistance and CBN substrate. BNC2020 : General-purpose grade suitable for typical hardened steel machining applications. Achieves long tool life thanks to highly wear-resistant, highly adhesive coating and tough CBN substrate.
BN2000 : General-purpose grade for general hardened steel machining with a high degree of fracture and wear resistance.
