A method for producing a highly uniform and highly dense sintered cubic boron nitride compact having high hardness by sintering at a milder condition without a binder, is provided. The method includes deflocculating secondary particles in cubic boron nitride starting powders by dispersing the starting powders in a solution of a deflocculant; molding the green compact after removing the solution of the deflocculant from the starting powders; and then sintering the green compact in the presence of a supercritical fluid source in a supercritical state by pressing and heating the green compact together with the supercritical fluid source. The supercritical fluid source can be one or more selected from a group consisted of polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, a polyester and an ABS resin. In the sintering, the pressure is 5 GPa or higher, and the temperature is 1400° C. or higher. According to the method, a highly uniform and highly dense sintered cubic boron nitride sintered compact having high hardness, can be obtained.
