The bit is designed for drilling of extra hard abrasive rock formations, e.g. thick quartzite, extra hard siliceous shale, metabasalt of basalt group, granite-porphyry, massive porphyrite, corundum ore, nephrite and titanium-magnetite coherent rocks, and also pyriteous massive hornfels, most frequently found in gold, iron and granite mines.
Recommended drilling parameters for maximum efficiency of the bit: low and medium rotation speed (60-115 RPM) and axial load from 120 to 230 kN.
Rock strength range - from 55 000 to 66 000 PSI.
