In one aspect of the invention, a fixed bladed drill bit comprises a working surface comprising a plurality of blades converging at a center of the working surface and diverging towards a gauge of the bit. Each blade comprises a plurality of pointed cutting elements and another plurality of shearing cutters. The plurality of shearing cutters comprises a first shearing cutter. The first shearing cutter on each blade tracks the first shearing cutter on other blades along a common circular cutting path.

In one aspect of the invention, a method of forming polycrystalline diamond comprises providing a can assembly comprising a preform of diamond powder with a first catalyst, the preform being adjacent a solid substrate with a second catalyst. The pressure and/or temperature on the can assembly increases until the first catalyst and carbon from the diamond powder begin to form a melting composition within the preform. The pressure and temperature may be held substantially constant on the can assembly until the melting composition has catalyzed crystalline growth in at least a portion of the preform. The pressure and/or temperature are then increased on the assembly until the second catalyst within the substrate is released into the preform.

In one aspect of the invention, a tool has a working portion with at least one impact tip brazed to a carbide extension. The carbide extension has a cavity formed in a base end and is adapted to interlock with a shank assembly of the cutting element assembly. The shank assembly has a locking mechanism adapted to interlock a first end of the shank assembly within the cavity. The locking mechanism has a radially extending catch formed in the first end of the shank assembly. The shank assembly has an outer surface at a second end of the shank assembly adapted to be press-fitted within a recess of a driving mechanism. The outer surface of the shank assembly has a coefficient of thermal expansion of 110 percent or more than a coefficient of thermal expansion of a material of the driving mechanism.

In one aspect of the present invention a disc cutter for an earth boring system includes an axle and a sintered polycrystalline ceramic disc disposed about and forming a continuous perimeter around the axle. The disc cutter may be attached to a drill bit comprising a body, working face and plurality of blades.Another aspect of the present invention comprises a method of forming a disc cutter including providing a can of a generally cylindrical shape with a central axis, positioning a column of disposable material, carbide, and crystalline grains in such a manner so when put under high temperature and high pressure a compact in the shape of a disc cutter may be formed and a column from the center axis may be removed. Another method for forming a disc cutter comprises forming a plurality of compacts and bonding the compacts together in a generally toroidal shape.
