down the hole bit tool

When it comes to working with a down the hole drill, the right drill bit makes all the difference. A down the hole bit utilizes a unique design – instead of being held in a chuck like other types of bits, this tool is secured by a pin. This special feature enables down the hole bits to be used for drilling through hard materials such as rock and more.

A variety of sizes and shapes are available in down the hole bits, with the tapered taper bit being the most typical. This type is designed with a pointed end for expedient drilling. The button variant possesses a flat top, with its squared-off counterpart, the cross bit, showcasing four highly-functional cutting angles.

Button bits come in a variety of sizes – from tiny to substantial – and are intended to be used in conjunction with different down the hole drills. Made of carbide, which is extremely solid and designed to withstand wear, button bits are the most common style of down the hole bit.

When it comes to drilling through difficult materials, like granite, cross bits come into play. As opposed to a button bit, which only sport a single cutting edge, cross bits have four edges to make the job easier. This type of down the hole bit makes mincemeat of tough material.

When it comes to delving deeper, downthehole bits offer an array of sizing, geometry, and materials to pick from. The perfect bit for the job depends on both the material being worked with, and the depth needed for the hole.
