Abstract
A retention mechanism for a PCD insert includes an expansion bolt inserted through a mounting element into a bore of the PCD insert. The bore of the PCD insert has an opening diameter that is greater than a terminal diameter at a terminal end of the bore. The expansion anchor is expanded in the bore, and an interference of the expanded expansion bolt with the body of the PCD insert secures the PCD insert to the mounting element.
