A shank has a mount reference surface formed with a mount seat having a mount seat surface inclined at a given inclined angle alpha. A diamond raw material is held on the shank in an attitude such that a first bottom surface thereof is in tight contact with the mount seat surface, and a first apex is protruded forward nearly along a centerline of the shank. A portion of the first apex, protrudingfrom the mount reference surface, is ground and removed as a given inclined angle theta. This causes a surface or its vicinity (in a value less thank approximately +-1 DEG ) to be formed as a raked face. The first bottom surface of the diamond raw material is held intact in tight contact with the mount seat surface to be integrally bonded thereto by active metal brazing, easily ensuring an increased bonding surface area to easily obtain increased bonding strength. This results in a further remarkable reduction in manufacturing time and manufacturing cost as those achieved in a case where a portion of a seconds apex opposite to the first apex formed with the raked face is grounded and removed to forma a bonding member.
