We developed a technique to examine the presence of a damaged layer on a CVD diamond surface, caused by polishing, using etching in hydrogen plasma. Based on the results we developed an apparatus for polishing the flank face of a cutting insert edge using a hot-iron-metal method. Further, we carried out experiments to examine the cutting performance of cutting inserts polished by the above apparatus. The results are the following: (1) diamond wheel and diamond power polishing processes cause a damaged layer on the surface of CVD diamond, while the hot-iron-metal method does not; (2) by polishing the flank face of a CVD diamond cutting insert with a #1500 diamond wheel and polishing the rake face with the hot-iron-metal apparatus we can produce a CVD diamond cutting insert with a sharp edgetop; (3) a CVD diamond cutting insert polished in this way is suitable for mirror-finish cutting and shows a cutting performance which is as good as that of a single crystal diamond insert.
