AB - This chapter focuses on the purpose of using diamond as a cutting tool in various ultra-precision machining applications. The complicated structures such as resin and ceramic mold used for making optical lenses are machined by the dia- mond tool to improve the precision of the finished product. It is difficult to machine hard and brittle materials such as glasses, ceramics, and composites with the assistance of diamond tool due to the complexity in the aspheric surfaces. Moreover, the tool wear is a major problem in machining these hard materials to a fine dimen- sional accuracy and tolerances. The microscopic defect forms at the cutting edge lead to the damage of the surface finish of the workpiece material. Therefore, the discussions are associated with the achievement of machining hard materials using a diamond tool in ultra-precision applications. Keywords: cutting tool, optical lenses, ceramics, glasses, diamond coating, tool wear, AE sensor 1. Introduction The ultra-precision machining is the process of improving the dimensional accuracy and the surface quality of the product in the submicron level. Therefore, the magnitude of surface roughness must be less than 10 nm, and the machining accuracy will be in the range of 0.1–100 nm. The brittle materials
