Cubic Boron Nitride, it tends to come as an insert in the insert:

I doubt you have seen red hot swarf quite like this:

Interestingly this video shows the same problem I have had, you need
to have more back-out than normal or the tool drags on the return.
Unless you have a very stiff machine then there will be more flex than
normal, but that doesn't mean you can't hit size.

The last screw I cut was on the Colchester Student at the Motor Club,
and it was a revelation.
