PureCut PCBN eliminates impurities by using an ultraclean grade composition, nano-particle-sized binder and optimized CBN (cubic boron nitride) grain size distribution. This unique design delivers unmatched toughness, increased resistance to chemical wear and greater reliability in the machining of hardened steel.
The tool life of PureCut improves on industry benchmarks by up to 50 percent and enables increased machining speeds of up to 300 m/min. By facilitating improved wear predictability, the result is a step-change in productivity and lower tool cost. With pressures across the automotive industry to improve efficiency and reduce costs, PureCut has been designed to address current and future machining challenges.
