Tool inserts can be made of industry grade diamond, and various other ceramics such as tungsten carbide - which is most common. Tungsten tips are made by pressing the powered material into the tool tip shape (usually a diamond/kite shape for turning tools, triangles for milling) and then heated so the particles bond to each other. These tips can be fixed to the tool body and then used to machine, on a lathe or mill. The advantage of tip tooling is if the tip breaks only the tip needs replacing not the whole tool, or having to grind the worn tool. However tungsten will not tolerate intermittent cuts as well as HSS, such as taking the corners off a square bar in a lathe.

What is field machining?

I'd say it's machining carried out "in the field". Most machining is done in facilities specifically constructed and equipped for the work to be done. When the workpiece that requires machining cannot be transported to one of these facilities you need to bring the appropriate tools and machinery to the workpiece.
