<p>A method of processing a super-hard material having a Vickers hardness of no less than 2000 kg/mm2, the method comprising: (a) a first processing step in which a processing surface is moved over a surface of the super-hard material such that an abrasive removes material from the surface of the super-hard material; (b) a measuring step in which a surface profile of either the processing surface or the surface of the super-hard material is measured after performing the first processing step to yield a measured end surface profile of the first processing step; and (c) a second processing step for removing material from the surface of the super-hard material, the second processing step comprising the use of at least two processing sub-steps using different processing surfaces for processing the surface of the super-hard material after the first processing step, the second processing step including the use of a first processing surface which has a first surface profile which is measured to have a larger radius of curvature than said measured end surface profile of the first processing step and a second processing surface which is measured to have a second surface profile which has a smaller radius of curvature than said measured end surface profile of the first processing step.</p> |
