The bit is designed for drilling of medium-hard and hard abrasive rock formations, e.g. quartzeous sandstone with lime cement, magnesite, ferrous quartzite, diorite, quartzeous porphyry, silicized shale, fine-grained skarn, weak pegmatite, martite ore and metamorphic granite rocks, fine-grained diorite and diabase, most frequently found in gold and copper mines.
Recommended drilling parameters for maximum efficiency of the bit: low and medium rotation speed (60-115 RPM) and axial load from 50 to 140 kN.
Rock strength range - from 24 000 to 44 000 PSI.
