Abstract
Cutting elements for earth-boring tools may include a polycrystalline table attached to a portion of a first substrate on which the polycrystalline table was formed. The portion of the first substrate may exhibit a thickness less than a thickness of the first substrate before a remainder of the first substrate was removed to form the portion of the first substrate. Another substrate may be attached to the portion of the first substrate, the portion of the first substrate being interposed between the polycrystalline table and the other substrate. Earth-boring tools may include such cutting elements secured to bodies of the earth-boring tools. Bearings for earth-boring tools may include a polycrystalline table attached to a portion of a first substrate on which the polycrystalline table was formed, the polycrystalline table defining a contact surface. Another substrate may be attached to the portion of the first substrate.
