APMT160404 CBN Insert for Cast Iron, Cuts up to 70 HRC

Machine what carbide can’t. This APMT160404 insert uses a CBN (cubic boron nitride) tip, second in hardness only to diamond. It cuts hardened steel up to 70 HRC, cast iron, and superalloys.

  • Cuts hardened steel to 70 HRC: CBN machines hard, abrasive materials that regular carbide can’t touch.
  • Holds its edge red-hot: Stays sharp at extreme temperatures. Run higher speeds and faster cycles without burning up the tool.
  • Can replace grinding: The fine surface finish and size control let CBN replace many grinding steps.
  • Far longer tool life: Wears slower than carbide on hardened material, so fewer tool changes.
  • Best for: Hardened steel, cast iron, and superalloys. For aluminum, use the PCD insert.
  • Specs: Positive-rake milling insert, 0.4 mm corner radius (04). 16.39 mm long, 9.5 mm wide, 4.73 mm thick, 4.28 mm center hole.
  • Fits: APMT160404 face mills and end mills.
  • Sold as 1pc or 10pc value packs.
