They have three main uses in industry, cutting tools, as abrasives... and use in paste or powder used for grinding and polishing. It may be expensive, but its success in being used as these tools is worth the expense. It's hardness means it never wears down, it cuts in the same way for ever. The only thing it cannot be used to cut is iron, due to a heat reaction.
The main uses of diamonds in industry are -
Shaping drums for copying machines
