A CBN grinding particle included in a CBN grinding wheel has a single crystal CBN grinding particle having a tetrahedron construction and a multi crystal CBN grinding particle. The single crystal CBN grinding particle is blended with a ratio of equal to or more than 50% to a total summed volume of the single and multi CBN grinding particles. A CBN grinding wheel having the CBN grinding particle is especially suitable for rough grinding.

Cubic boron nitride grinding wheel

A cutting tip including a cutting edge portion made of a high-hardness material to take a thin-plate shape; and a support portion made of a material which is more worn in contact with a workpiece than the cutting edge portion not to exert a machining action on the workpiece even in contact with the workpiece, and securing and supporting the cutting edge portion on a reverse side of a rake face of the cutting edge portion. Thus, the width of flank wear is prevented from increasing and chipping of the cutting edge is prevented, so that the life of the cutting tip can be extended.

Cutting tip, method of forming cutting tip, and method of manufacturing cutting tip

In a vitrified bonded grinding wheel that is formed so that superabrasives formed of cubic boron nitride (CBN) grains or diamond grains are bonded and held with a vitrified binder, the vitrified binder is formed of oxide particles and amorphous glass, and the vitrified binder has no open pore that is in fluid communication with outside air.
