Claim 0:
1. A pick for removing a road material, the pick comprising:
a pick body; and
a plurality of polycrystalline diamond compacts (“PDCs”) attached to the pick body, at least one of the plurality of PDCs comprising:
a diamond table having a domed working surface; and
a substrate comprising a first cylindrical portion attached to the pick body, the first cylindrical portion exhibiting a cylindrical shape with a distal planar surface, the cylindrical shape having a diameter that is greater than a thickness of the substrate, the diamond table being mounted on and being at least partially laterally encompassed by the distal planar surface of the substrate, the substrate defining a second working surface including the distal planar surface, wherein the domed working surface borders and protrudes from the second working surface of the substrate, wherein the domed working surface is positioned directly adjacent to the distal planar surface of the substrate.
