A cutting tip having a three-layer laminated structure is provided. The tip is made from a disc-shaped three-layer laminate wherein a second layer consisting of a hard sintered compact of CBN or diamond is sandwiched by a first layer and a third layer consisting of a tool material such as cemented carbide. Prismatic blanks of rectangular cross-section are cut out by cutting the three-layer laminate in strips. Semi-completed tips of a desired shape are obtained by cutting up the prismatic blanks. Desired cutting edges are formed on the semi-completed tips to produce completed tips. Because prismatic blanks are obtained from a three-layer laminate and semi-completed tips are cut out from the prismatic blanks like this, the semi-completed tips can be obtained in large numbers, yield is high, and the manufacturing cost of the tip can be reduced. |
