Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1052367A2] A preform cutting element, for a rotary drag-type drill bit, includes a facing table 10 of superhard material having a front face and a rear surface bonded to the front surface of a substrate 12 which is less hard than the superhard material, the cutting element having a peripheral surface which includes at least one cutting apex 18 defined between two adjacent regions of the peripheral surface which are disposed at an angle to one another, and the rear surface of the facing table 10 being formed with at least one protuberance 20 which projects into a correspondingly shaped recess in the substrate 12. <IMAGE>
