The disclosure relates to cubic boron nitride inserts for machining iron-based workpieces, as well as related methods and apparatuses. The insert includes a cutting element containing cubic boron nitride (cBN) in an amount in a range of 50 wt. % to 95 wt. % based on the cutting element, and a binder containing at least one of (i) alumina (Al.sub.2O.sub.3) and a manganese material (e.g., an oxide such as MnO.sub.x) and (ii) zirconia (ZrO.sub.2). The insert can be used for various machining processes, for example turning or boring. Suitable workpieces include iron-based materials or ferrous alloys, for example a cast iron such as compacted graphite iron (CGI).

A drilling apparatus includes: a drill rotatable about a center axis and capable of advancing and retracting along the axis; and a pressing unit for pressing a work in an advancing direction of the drill. The drilling apparatus advances the drill while rotating the drill about the center axis to form a hole in the work, in a state in which the work is pressed by the pressing unit. A pressing force applied on the work by the pressing unit is set to a predetermined pressing force based on machining reaction applied to the drill from the work during drilling and the pressing force causing deformation of the work in the advancing direction of the drill. The predetermined pressing force can suppress deformation of the work and displacement of the drill due to the machining reaction. The machining reaction and the pressing force are calculated beforehand in a drilling test.

A cutting apparatus adapted for use in a machine tool. The cutting apparatus includes a mounting frame. A cutting unit is mounted rotatably in the mounting frame. A locking unit is connected to the mounting frame and the cutting unit, for restraining or permitting relative movement between the mounting frame and the cutting unit. A driving unit drives rotation of the cutting unit. A control unit controls the driving unit to drive rotation of the rotating shaft upon detecting that the relative movement between the mounting frame and the cutting unit is permitted. The control unit shuts off the driving unit upon detecting that the relative movement between the mounting frame and the cutting unit is restrained.
