Secomax CBN 100 and CBN 300 solid-PCBN indexable inserts have pin-lock-hole clamping and are for use with M, P, and D-style toolholders.

CBN 100 is for light, continuous to moderate interrupted cuts of hardened steels, facing alloys, and sintered steels. The grade has a fine-grained structure and 50% PCBN content for edge quality. Plunging in hardened surfaces is possible by using the full cutting-edge length of the inserts. CBN 100 comes in W and T-style insert geometries.

CBN 300 inserts have a coarse-grain structure and 90% PCBN content for roughing and finishing of pearlitic grey cast iron, chilled cast iron, and white irons and for roughing hardened steels at high metal-removal rates. CBN 300 comes in D, S, V, and W-style insert geometries.
