This paper presents some important, recently performed investigations on the laser texturing technology applied to the PCD and PCBN cutting tools and some resulting process outputs including cutting forces, tool wear indexes concerning both rake and flank tool faces. It was documented that the properly texturized tool faces results in a substantial reduction of cutting forces, elimination of the adhesion interaction between the tool and the chip, and reduction of abrasive and diffusion tool wear. The role of additional lubrication supply to the cutting zone with modified contact properties is discussed.
