NEW HONING TYPES
For the CBN MBC010 and MBC020 coated grades, MB4020 and MB710/MB730 a wide range of edge honing styles are available to cover a large range of applications and to represent Mitsubishi Materials’ unique cutting tool technology.
  • General cutting
    GA honing is the first recommendation.
    GS honing if the depth of cut is .004 inch or more.
    GN honing if crater wear is too large.
  • Continuous cutting, stable cutting
    FS honing is the first recommendation.
    FA honing to improve the initial machining performance.
    FN honing if crater wear is too large.
  • Medium and heavy interrupted cutting, unstable cutting
    TA honing is the first recommendation.
    TS honing if the depth of cut is .004 inch or more.
    TN honing if crater wear is too large.
(Note)
First, select the insert edge type from the main application area (F,G,T) then choose honing (A,S,N) that compliments the machining requirement.

CONVENTIONAL HONING TYPES
Other than the new honing types, the three conventional honing types, F, G and T types are available for use in accordance to the machining application.
