Abstract

A preform cutting element, for use in a drag-type drill bit, includes a facing table (10) of polycrystalline diamond having a front face (12), a peripheral surface (13), and a rear surface (14) bonded to the front face of a tungsten carbide substrate (11). The rear face (14) ofthe diamond facing table is integrally formed with a single protuberance (19), adjacent the periphery ofthe element, which extends into a correspondingly shaped recess in the substrate (11).
