      I think they’re being used as tips in some industrial cutting machines because of their hardness

        On a large scale actually and even for domestic individual usage, you can even buy diamond drills in your local tool store. They are also used in glass cutting, wire manufacture, abrasive materials, thermoconductive pastes and many elements of precise electronics and various (especially pressure) measuring tools.
