The bit is designed for drilling of medium-hard abrasive rock formations, e.g. hard limestone and shale, dolomite, magnesite, ferrous quartzite, diorite, quartzeous porphyry, solicited shale, fine-grained skarn, weak pegmatite, martite ore and metamorphic granite rocks, most frequently found in gold, granite and copper mines.
Recommended drilling parameters for maximum efficiency of the bit: low and medium rotation speed (60-115 RPM) and axial load from 100 to 210 kN.
Rock strength range - from 6 000 to 24 000 PSI.
