CRUSH ROCK WITH A ROCK DRILL BIT!
Drilling rock requires a rock drill bit. Whether it's drilling for fossil fuels or mining for precious metals, drillers won't stand for anything less than a tough piece of "junk iron".
Drill bits come in the form of PDC drill bits ,button bits or tricones, and drag bits.
The uses for rock drill bits are endless: whether it's mining for gold or silver, geothermal energy, water well drilling or drilling for oil or natural gas, a drill bit has been designed for that application.
TYPES OF DRILL BITS
 DRAG BITS
Used to drill softer geological formations and shallower depths, drag bits are economical. The tips, or wings, are affixed with tungsten carbide and come in either a step drill bit or chevron type bit. |
 WELL WORKOVER BITS
Workover bits are used to either complete a newly drilled well or to "work over" an existing well. Atlas Copco and Focus RocBit manufacture reliable, cost-effective well workover bits.
 Another option for drilling cement and plugs is a mill bit. To learn more about the various applications suitable for the Bear Claw, Chomp, Hurricane and Aardvark workover mills, click here.
 Drill out cement and plugs with the Twister bit. New design has break out flats. For more information, click here.

The extraction of most natural resources requires the use of a drill bit capable of drilling through some specific type of geological formation. Whether it's gold or silver mining; natural gas, oil well or water well drilling; or trying to harness the earth's natural geothermal energy, a rock drill bit of some type is used in all these applications.
A rock drill bit may come in many different shapes and forms but all are made to accomplish one thing - to drill and crush rock!
