Percussion Rock Drill Bits Types

DTH Hammer Bits are available from 2" to 18" (50.8mm to 457.2mm) across 12 distinct shank and connection models, including COP32, DHD340, QL40, MACH series, and more, covering virtually any DTH hammer system in use today.

Percussion bits typically use tungsten carbide buttons in Standard, Diamond, or Bluemaxx grades. Diamond and Bluemaxx grades offer enhanced wear resistance and impact strength for highly abrasive or extremely hard rock formations, extending bit life and improving penetration rates.

Common face shapes include Concave, Convex, Flat, and Double Gauge configurations. Each shape is optimized for specific formation types and drilling conditions, affecting cuttings evacuation, gauge protection, and overall penetration efficiency in hard or abrasive rock.

Directional Hammer Bits are designed for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and steerable applications where directional control is required. Standard DTH bits are better suited for straight vertical or angled drilling in mining, water well, and construction applications where directional steering isn't needed.

Yes, custom manufacturing is available for non-standard diameters, face shapes, button configurations, shank connections, and carbide grades. This allows drilling operators to match bits precisely to specific hammer systems and challenging formation conditions not covered by standard catalog options.

Percussion rock drill bits are used across mining, oil and gas, geothermal, water well drilling, horizontal directional drilling (HDD), and construction/geotechnical industries, wherever efficient penetration through hard or abrasive rock formations is required for exploration, resource extraction, or infrastructure development.
