This paper investigates the impact of diamond crystal type on single point diamond turning of single crystal silicon oriented at the <111< direction. The sample has a diameter of 85 mm with a concave base radius of curvature of 291 mm. The tools are made of single crystal diamond formed naturally (hereby referred to as natural diamond) and under lab controlled highpressure high-temperature conditions (hereby referred to as synthetic diamond). The tools have similar geometries of 0.5 mm nose radius, -25° rake angle. The natural diamond is oriented such that the top face of the diamond stone is a {100} plane and the cutting occur in the <110> direction relative to the stone. The synthetic diamond stone is oriented in the {100} plane with the cutting happening in the <100> direction. It is seen that, on average, the synthetic tool can cut approximately 38.5% longer distances without inducing significant brittle fracture on the surface.
