DTH Air Button Bits
Drill King International takes immense pride in being one of the only truly “Custom” Bit and hole opener manufacturers worldwide. The company manufacture’s thousands of different configurations and have one of the largest stocking selections of bits in the Western Hemisphere Manufacturing sizes ranging from 2-3/4” (70mm) to 42” (1067mm) to industry standard shanks. We utilize the latest technologies in engineering to produce cutting edge designs. We use methods that meet aerospace standards in manufacturing superior quality hammers and bits to ISO 9001:2015. We offer an extensive range of high quality tungsten carbide grades, shapes and sizes, as well as diamond enhanced buttons.
CC KRUSHER BIT
The CC KRUSHER bit combines three distinctly different face angles, while providing the best features of the Concave and the Convex designs. Specifically, the CC Krusher offers both straight-hole drilling and excellent penetration rates.
- Formation: Medium to Hard
- Hole Straightness: Average
- Penetration Rate: Excellent
FLAT FACE BIT
The FLAT FACE bit is simple and robust face design, best suited for very hard formations. It can also be used in soft formations where vertical deviation is not a priority.
- Formation: Very Hard
- Hole Straightness: Fair
- Penetration Rate: Good
CONCAVE BIT
The CONCAVE bit is suited for most drilling conditions, as this design holds a very straight hole due to the tapered recess in the face of the bit. This recess or so-called “dish” causes a slight coring action, which helps keep the hole straight, while providing for excellent penetration and good air flushing of the hole.
- Formation: Medium to Hard
- Hole Straightness: Very Good
- Penetration Rate: Fair
DROP CENTER BIT
The DROP CENTER bit, as it name suggests, features a recess in the impact face. This recess provides a coring action, which helps keep the hole straight. This is a custom-made design, as it is not very common.
- Formation: Sloping and Broke, Medium to Hard
- Hole Straightness: Good
- Penetration Rate: Average
CONVEX BIT
The CONVEX bit is suited for very hard and abrasive formations as it incorporates two different gage rows leading up to the flat impact face. The inner gage row helps to protect the outer row from excessive wear.
- Formation: Medium to Hard
- Hole Straightness: Average
- Penetration Rate: Excellent
Bit Enhancements:
- Upgrade to premium inserts when drilling in hard formations for longer wear life
- Protect the gage row by adding wear pads to your bits. This will extend the wear life of your bit and maintain hole diameter
- Prevent burying your bit by adding back reaming buttons, specifically effective in softer formations
