Industry Knowledge About Reaming Drill Bits

31 Jul.,2025

Reaming bits were widely used in quarrying or mining for blast hole drilling, with pilot adaptors, the drilling direction can be ensured and accurate. Pilot holes are drilled depth and then reamed out to a larger diameter in a second pass required when hole diameter exceeds the capabilities of the rock drill and drilling tools available.

 

Top Hammer Reaming Drilling Bit is well known for its high wear resistance on medium-hard to hard abrasive rock formations. Featuring spherical tungsten carbide inserts that is known to have strong configuration against carbide fracture. Recommended for eliminating hole deviation.

Face Design Application
Flat face button drill bits are suitable for all rock conditions, especially for the rock with higher hardness and higher abrasiveness. Such as granite and basalt.
Convex Face button bits are designed for fast penetration rates in softer rock.
Drop center button drill bits are mainly suitable for the rock with low hardness, low abrasiveness, and good integrity. The bits can drill straighter holes.
Normal Skirt
For drilling in very hard and abrasive rock formations.
Retract Skirt
For drilling in loose,broken or fissured rock where it is difficult to retract the drill string due to the hole collapse.

 

Button Shape
   ST68 Reaming Drill Bits R:Round
Utility carbide shape.
Stong configuration against carbide fracture.
     ST68 Reaming Drill Bits  B:Ballistic
Higher penetrating carbide shape than Semi ballistic shape.
Recommended for soft rock.
         ST68 Reaming Drill Bits BB:Semi Ballistic
Combined wear resistance and high penetration rate.
Recommended for medium-hard rock with moderate abrasitivity.
ST68 Reaming Drill Bits SA:Spike
Highest penetrating carbide shape.
Weak configuration against carbide fracture.
Recommended for soft to medium-hard work.

 

Widely used drifting and tunneling, surface drilling and underground tunneling project. Top Hammer Drill Bit face design is ideal for medium-hard to hard abrasive rock. We have different designs for various rock formations, and a longer service life to decrease use costs for users.
