DTH Bits
The drill bit is the cutting element of any DTH drilling system and a hammer is only as good as the bit it uses.
The down-the-hole bit (DTH) is subject to severe stress from the striking piston as well as from the abrasive cuttings passing around the bit at high velocity. When selecting the right bit for optimum performance you have to strike a fine balance between penetration capability and bit life. On occasion, you can successfully sacrifice the bit life expectancy for the penetration speed. In such cases remember a rule of thumb that states that a 10% increase in penetration forgoes at least a 20% of bit life expectancy.
The drill bits offered by Drilling Supply are manufactured to the most stringent standards, using high quality materials to provide you with a reliable, high performance cutting edge for your drilling equipment.
We offer a comprehensive range of standard and made to order drill bits on an extensive selection of shanks with a wide variety of head designs to suit every applications.
