Abstract
A method of orienting a cutting element includes, configuring the cutting element so that gravitational forces acting thereon against a support surface bias the cutting element toward a specific orientation relative to the support surface. The specific orientation is such that at least one support and at least one edge of a gilmoid formed by intersections of surfaces of the gilmoid contact the support surface.
