This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature that deals with issues surrounding the polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutter–rock interface during rock cutting/drilling processes. The paper is separated into two parts addressing eight significant issues: Part I deals with fundamental issues associated with temperature/stress distribution and loading force prediction, while Part II focuses on issues related to PDC cutter/bit performance, wear and other failure phenomena, rock removal mechanism and cutting theory, rock properties, and numerical modeling of cutter–rock interaction. Experimental, analytical, and numerical methods are included into the investigation of the above-mentioned eight issues. Relevant concepts from metal cutting, micromachining, and other machining processes are also introduced to provide important insights and draw parallels between these interrelated fields.
