Basic selection of T-CBN grades in machining of hardened steel and hard material
Coated T-CBN gradesUncoated T-CBN grades
BXM10For high speeds cuttingBX310 For high speeds / Priority on wear resistance in continuous cutting
BXM20For general purpose,BX330 For medium speeds / Priority on surface qualityF

more than Vc = 180 m/min For general purpose, BX360 For low to medium speeds / General purpose grade with BXA20 excellent fracture resistance less than Vc = 180 m/min
