A method of sintering a binderless cBN body includes providing a boron nitride particle mixture into a pressure chamber, the boron nitride particle mixture having a first type of boron nitride particles and boron nitride filler particles, and the boron nitride filler particles having a different size and/or type than the first type of boron nitride particles, and sintering the boron nitride particle mixture in the pressure chamber to form the cBN body by generating a pressure in the pressure chamber of less than 7.7 GPa and heating the boron nitride particle mixture to a temperature ranging from about 1900° C. to about 2300° C., wherein the cBN body has a density of at least 97 percent.
