Abstract

A unitized polycrystalline composite diamond stud type drag bit cutter having no high temperature braze of a PDC wafer to a carbide stud is disclosed. The diamond cutting surface may be planar, convex, curved or a truncated cone. The unitized construction of the cutter eliminates the problems associated with the high temperature brazing of a PDC wafer to a carbide stud.
