Abstract

A breaking or excavating tool has a diamond and/or cubic boron nitride coated cutting insert mounted at the forward end of a tool body which is made of a softer material than the insert. A separately formed retaining member such as a washer, ring or sleeve, made of harder material than the body, is brazed to a front face of the body surrounding the insert to protect the tool body against wear.
