METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR FORMING CUTTING ELEMENTS HAVING A CHAMFERED EDGE FOR EARTH-BORING TOOLS

摘要

Apparatuses for forming chamfers (125) on superabrasive tables (105) of cutting elements (100) for earth-boring tools include a chuck (205) for temporarily holding and positioning a cutting element, and at least one emitter (210) for emitting a beam of energy toward an edge of a superabrasive table of a cutting element held and positioned by the device. Methods of forming cutting elements for earth-boring tools and methods for forming earth-boring tools are also disclosed.
