Abstract

A superabrasive cutting element, the substrate of which is structured with a reduced dimension circumferential portion about which is formed an annular portion of superabrasive material, such as sintered diamond in the form of a polycrystalline diamond compact, to provide a ring- or skirt-like portion of superabrasive material at the perimeter of the cutting element to reduce residual tensile stresses existing at the perimeter of the cutting element after formation.
