What can be used to cut metals and other gemstones due to its hardness?
Diamond is very hard, but hard materials also tend to be brittle. You can scratch a hammer with a diamond, which demonstrates that diamond is harder than steel. However, if you hit the diamond with the hammer in the right fashion, the diamond would likely break. Since diamonds are very hard to cut, special diamond bladed edges are used to cut them. Diamonds are prepared using several different cutting and forming methods. They can be broken along natural planes of weakness in the the crystalline structure using a hammer and steel chisel. A diamond or laser can be used to make a scratch on the diamond, which is then broken with a hammer and steel chisel - a concept not unlike cutting glass. Saw blades impregnated with diamond dust on the cutting edge and lasers can also be used to cut a diamond. Diamond powder is used to polish diamonds.
What can break a diamond without a diamond?
A laser can burn through a diamond and be used to "cut" it, though it might not be pretty. As for jewelry applications, the traditional method of splitting a diamond is to "cut" it with a hardened steel knife. The knife is finely sharpened and hardened, and placed against the diamond to be cut. The knife is then struck with a small hammer. Thus the action is one of splitting, not really cutting. The cut is carefully positioned as to take advantage of the internal crystal structure of the diamond. A hammer can be used to "smash" a diamond and break it, but this is a poor use for a hammer as well as a waste of a diamond.
Laser cutting achieving a good cut?
A 'good cut' is relative. Diamond cutters cut stones based on a plan for the stone. A diamond stone has individual colour and clarity properties that the diamond cutter wants to preserve. In so doing, the diamond cutter will plan a cut to maximize the carat weight of the stone. Whether the cut is achieved expertly using manual tools or a laser, may depend on the skill of the diamond cutter or the vagaries of the laser equipment. Either or both can produce a 'good cut'.
